A major week for Atlas — map markers are now rendered via WebGL for dramatically better performance, interfaces gain configurable views and layer selection, and a new people column lets you assign team members to rows.
Features
Performant Markers
Map markers have been moved from DOM elements to WebGL sprites with Supercluster-based clustering. This is a major performance improvement for maps with many markers — panning, zooming, and interacting with the map is now significantly smoother. Map exports also now correctly include marker layers.
Interface Views
Interfaces now support configurable views with layer inclusion controls. When creating or editing an interface, you can choose exactly which layers are visible and set up multiple views — giving you more control over how shared maps are presented to collaborators and external users.
People Column
A new people column type lets you assign workspace members to rows in your datasets. Select one or more team members per row to track ownership, assignments, or responsibilities. The people column works in both the web app and the field app, with full offline support.
Fixes and Improvements
- Tile refresh is now smoother — the map only refreshes visually when the bounding box changes
- Lookup and computed fields now display multi-value relations correctly instead of showing raw delimiter characters
- Guests are no longer shown in the project creator filter dropdown
- Public forms now allow anonymous access to form datasets
- Enrich dataset data action has been restored
- Grid view no longer crashes when switching between project and workspace views
- Locale setting is now read-only for non-admin users
- Default interface selection now works correctly with URL query parameters
- Geocoding in workflows now handles empty datasets without errors
- AI assistant (Navi) now handles batch updates with temp IDs in any order
