Is it possible to capture the current Zoom Level Value in Workshop Map to dynamically load layers

Goal: Load different layers based on the current zoom level of the map.

Is there the ability to use the Zoom level value from Workshop, Mapbox, or Viewport Values to determine which layers to show?

Current Solution:
Manual toggle of layers.

Workarounds tried:

  1. Render layers based off of the count of objects present in the Viewport filter. Limited functionality and clunky for a variable amount of data.
  2. Tried using Ontology building Map which has the ability to configure static zoom levels. Struggles on dynamic needs and does not have some fleixble features that Workshop has at the moment

Hello,

As you have pointed out in your second point, this feature is supported when using the Map Application Template: https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/map/styling/#zoom-levels

Could you provide some more detail on which features/needs for your workflow are not covered by the Map Application Template widget?

I would like to toggle on different layers of the map based on the current zoom level automatically when a user is navigating or zooming through their map.

In terms of limitations, I’m loading dynamic/derived front-end properties on the objects such as icon color, which are determined using properties from other Ontology objects. Those are determined without using searcharounds. They propagate on the Workshop Map using functions. From my understanding, it’s not possible or very difficult to to pass derived properties with objects set to the map templates, especially if they use multiple objects sets to determine their property.
