The Dynamic Location List automatically filters and displays locations based on the current map viewport. As users navigate the map—panning, zooming in or out—the content panel updates in real-time to show only the locations visible within the current view.
This feature works seamlessly across all location list types:
- Category Filter: A list generated based on selected categories.
- Search Results: A list of locations matching keyword searches.
- Storytelling Map: Locations displayed sequentially, as part of a story map.
For category filters, if the default view is set to display only a subset of locations within a category, the list will include only the locations visible in the current viewport when that category is selected.
