What is a Filter Widget?
A Filter Widget is a pin map. Data is displayed as individual points on the map or as clusters, depending upon the zoom level you are viewing the widget from.
A Filter Widget also displays charts and reports for the data being displayed.
The details the data can be viewed spatially, temporally and by looking at attributes of the data.
The Filter Widget displays point data as pin mapping, and is most useful visually in scenarios where a query returns a limited number of features.
How does the Filter Widget work?
A Filter Widget functions as a pin map.
There are two states of the Filter Widget: Minimized and Maximized.

The Minimized State lets you quickly view the pin map, charts or reports for the Filter Widget.
The Maximized State let's you view further information about the data the FIlter Widget is displaying.

Maximized State
The Filter Widget icon, title of the widget and Last Updated date are in the same spot in the Maximized State as they were in the Minimized State.
The blue Analysis Mode 'A' icon and flip widget 'i' icon are in the same spot in the Maximized State as they were in the Minimized state. They also have the same functionality.
