Dashed lines in the mobile application

The System is based on a single data symbolization system, managed in the Symbolization Manager.

There is one exception to this. If for a line we choose Unique Symbolization in the settings and assign a dashed line style, it will appear as a solid line in the Mobile Application.

This issue does not occur with Single Symbolization.

Example:

  1. We have a layer: Cables, with a field called type. The type field contains two values: underground and overhead
  2. We want to apply unique symbolization based on the attribute type:
    1. Overhead cables are displayed as a solid line
    2. Underground cables are displayed as a dashed line
  3. When viewing the data in the Map Panel, everything will appear correctly
  4. In the Mobile Application, both types of cables will be displayed as solid lines

What to do? How to live?

In case we want to display a dashed line in the Mobile Application, we must use Single Symbolization:

  1. From the Cables data source, we create two layers with a filter
    1. Overhead cables
    2. Underground cables
  2. We apply Single Symbolization to the layers (which handles dashed lines without issues)
  3. In the Mobile Application Module section of the Administration Panel, we add the two layers for display
  4. In the Mobile Application, we achieve the effect of displaying overhead cables as solid lines and underground cables as dashed lines.
