    I just took a site survey using version 2.0.265, and I’m finding that whereas the sample points in version 1.0 were clickable and would should basic information that NetSpot sampled at that point, I’m unable to click on the sample points in my survey in 2.0.265. Am I doing something wrong or was this feature removed from 2.x?

    No need to click [them] any more. Just hover any point on the heatmap and check the values under your cursor in the sidebar.

    Interesting. In my first survey with version 2.0.265 (approximately 125 sample points on a single floor in downtown Seattle), I picked up in excess of 150 networks in the area, which means that my sidebar is a little busy and tough to navigate, which I think makes spot checking sample data for a particular point in the survey a little more difficult than simply clicking on the point and having it pop up.

    Wondering if it would be possible to done one of two things (in order of my preference):

    1. Return the “click on sample point” functionality.
    2. Visually hide all but the SSIDs/APs that I have actively selected in the sidebar, so that I only have to look at the SSIDs/APs in which I am interested.

    If I’m getting you right, # 2 actually suppresses # 1. So, if we implement # 2 for you and other users, that might be a solution, right?

    Yes, I think that these two could be binary options. My reason for preferring #1 is that with #2, I still have to click on my sample point and then move my eyes over to the left to evaluate the data. From a UI standpoint I feel like having to do that might be a less-efficient way to use the application. Popping up the information from the sample point seems like it would be a bit snappier way to casually evaluate the data.

    In fact, with # 2 you won’t need to click anything at all. Actually we got a number of opposite requests for NetSpot 1.x and that’s why we removed the need to click the heatmap to see the values under the cursor.

    Right, but you still do have to mouse to location A in the map and then look in Location B in the UI to read the data (unless there’s something that I’m missing). It’s less about the clicking and more about the need to target and look at two different locations onscreen.

    Completely understandable that you received a different set of feedback from others.

    As a completely off-the wall suggestion, it might be neat to have a menu selection that instead of displaying the heat map displays the sample results for each sample point on a non-colored map.

    In any case, thank you for the feedback.

    Saw your note this morning and responded. Be glad to look at the beta.
