Interfaces in Atlas are powerful, interactive user experiences that you can build on top of your maps and data. They transform your GIS projects into user-friendly applications that anyone can use, without requiring GIS expertise.
Atlas Interfaces bridge the gap between complex geospatial data and user-friendly applications. They allow you to create custom dashboards, data collection forms, public-facing maps, and interactive reports that your end users can navigate intuitively.
Key Characteristics
- No-Code Builder: Create sophisticated interfaces using a visual drag-and-drop editor
- Responsive Design: Automatically adapts to desktop and mobile devices
- Real-Time Data: Interfaces update dynamically as your underlying data changes
- Interactive Components: Rich widgets for filtering, visualization, and user interaction
- Secure Access Control: Configure who can view and interact with your interfaces
What you can build
Filterable maps — Add attribute, date, or spatial filter widgets so users can narrow what appears on the map without touching the underlying data. Filters compose: a user can combine a category filter with a date range and a drawn area simultaneously.
Layer-scoped views — Each section in an interface can show a different subset of your project's layers. Use multiple sections or multiple interfaces to give different user roles a tailored view of the same data.
Data tables and charts — Pair a map with a table or chart widget that updates as the user pans or filters. The Numbers widget displays aggregated statistics (counts, sums, averages) that recalculate in real time.
Data collection forms — Field apps are a type of interface optimized for mobile data collection. Users fill out forms tied to map locations and the responses appear immediately as new features.
Public-facing dashboards — Publish an interface with a public link so stakeholders can explore your data without an Atlas account. Control exactly which layers and filters they can see via interface permissions.
