Usually a marker on a map is from an InfoTable payload from a Service. that service will have Selected Row(s) you can use that to pass information selected/clicked to the next mashup by defining mashup parameters on the other mashup and using a Navigation Widget.

You can pass parameters between mashups by using Mashup parameters

You can access these at the mashup level in the mashup builder by either going to Edit Mashup parameters with the Mashup (top node) selected.

To do the actual navigation and passing of the parameter, use a Navigation widget that brings up the desired mashup and it will in its properties expose the mashup parameter after selecting the mashup. then you can just take your value, drag and drop it either on the widget or the widget's property.

i have added a mashup parameter named location with location basetype in the main mashup where i have google map

To do the actual navigation and passing of the parameter, use a Navigation widget that brings up the desired mashup

i have added navigation widget in the main mashup and set up the link for my desired mashup location

and it will in its properties expose the mashup parameter after selecting the mashup. then you can just take your value, drag and drop it either on the widget or the widget's property.

how should i do this ..am confused here ..can you please help me to elaborate more  ?

Please and kindly help me..my use case is when i click location on the google map mashup, it should link to another mashup

Hello all,

I am trying the same thing as you are discussing. I have 20 locations(say Loc_1- Loc_20). Out of 20locations I am pointing 10 in my map to showcase some emergency alerts. I have 20 mashups (mashup1-mashup20) as well for the corresponding locations data. I am able to redirect to the mashup by clicking on the marker on the map.

So, I am facing an issue here. When i am clicking on any marker its redirecting to the same mashup. I am wondering How we can actually bind the location to respective mashup(example: Loc_1 to Mashup1, Loc2 to Mashup2................etc). so that if i click on loc1 it should redirect to mashup1 & if i click on loc2 it should redirect to mashup2.

Please advice.

Thanks and Regards,

Babu Yogesh,

First of all I would not use 20 mashups. I recommend using 1 target mashup and you pass into that mashup the Entity information (selected row name possibly?) and your location and whatever else you want to pass.

However Entity should be enough, because with that in the new mashup you can use that Entity and a Dynamic Service to retrieve all information about that particular Entity.

This way you also don't need to figure out what mashup to navigate to.

Dynamic navigating and displaying of mashups is possible, I would carry an additional column of information in the service that indicates Mashup name (somehow logically derived and added using DeriveFields) then you can pass that mashup name into the Nav widget MashupName or into a Contained Mashup's name.

Hello Pai,

Thank you for your help. I need few more suggestions because I am new to ThingWorx. I have created 20 Things individually and enabled them using the Rest API(POSTMAN APPLICATION) and the 20 things contains the data of the 20 homes I have mentioned. Now I have one more thing(Say Parent Thing) that contains the consolidated data of all the 20 things. I have created a consolidated mashup for the consolidated parent thing. Now if i want to view individual child things properties i have created the mashups for 20 things which i want to be redirected from the map pointers (shown in consolidated mashup).

New mashup should open based on the click, if one click in location (51.6070:-1.0955 => home 1003), then mashup for that particular location should open, provided we can have different mashup for each location or one mashup where data can be changed dynamically based on the location. right now, where ever i am clicking i am able to fetch the mashup only for home 1003. kindly see the image below so as to understand my saying.

Thanks a lot for your reply, kindly look into this as well where i could get any suggestions to proceed further.
