Enhanced Link-Ins
We're excited to announce improvements to Pozi's link-in functionality to make third-party integrations even more powerful.
As the name suggests, the Pozi link-in enables third-party applications to link in to Pozi. Following a simple URL format, any application can launch Pozi and zoom directly to specific features in your map. The new format link-in looks like this:
https://council.pozi.com/#/feature[parks.fid,15]/
This example link launches the Pozi web application, activates the Parks layer, selects and highlights the target feature, zooms the map to it, and displays its details in the Info Panel.
#
What's New
#
Automatically Zoom to Feature
Pozi link-ins have long supported the selection of specific features, but additional URL parameters were required to position the map view at the appropriate location. Pozi now automatically zooms to the selected feature based on its location as well as its size.
#
Choose Your Link Field
Previously, the link-in required Pozi's internal id field as the feature link, which didn't always reflect any id known to external applications. Now, the link-in URL can specify any field from the selected feature's layer to use for the link. Simply append the layer name with a dot followed by the field name to the layer name in the link-in URL.
Example: link to a feature in the Parks layer where the fid field is 15:
https://council.pozi.com/#/feature[parks.fid,15]/
#
Turn On Layer Automatically
The link-in now turns on the target layer without requiring a separate layers[...] parameter to load it. Link-in URLs are more self-contained, making them easier to generate, share and use.
#
Limitations
The new link-in will work for any vector layer in your map. Layers that are not exposed as a vector layer, or are not exposed in the layer panel, do not currently support link-ins.
However, we're currently working to support link-ins for larger datasets that are not normally exposed in the layer panel. Stay tuned!
