Multi select using a Tablet on a map visual

Hi,

We have a mapbox visual which has many selected areas on it. Is there a way for a Tablet user to select mulitple areas of the map? Using a Mouse and holding CTRL will give me the outcome id like however tablet users will not have this option. 

 

Thanks,

Hi @nigelreilly ,

From your words, could you please clarify what is the "option" referred to ?

 

To multi-select data points in visuals, simply use CTRL+Click to select multiple data points. 

 

Best Regards,

Amy

Hi Amy,

 

For example, if a user is viewing the report on an iPad, they have no keyboard and therefore cannot filter on the different sections within a map visual. I understand that we can offer them a multiselect filter on the filter pane however this will be a very long list for the user. Ideally they can select different map boundary sections. I hope that makes sense.
