FAQs
QAGSiteMap is a Niagara 4 module for building interactive site maps with real-time status monitoring. It ships as two JARs: QAGSiteMap-rt.jar (runtime components for QAMapsView and QAMapMarker) and QAGSiteMap-ux.jar (the Leaflet-based MapView web widget). You place the widget on a Px page and bind it to a QAMapsView component in your station tree.
Drag a QAMapsView from the palette into your station, set centerLat, centerLon, and zoom, then add QAMapMarker children underneath it — one per location — each with a markerName, lat, and lon. Finally, drop the MapView widget onto a Px page and bind it to your QAMapsView. The user guide recommends confirming the first marker displays before adding the rest.
Set a statusOrd on the marker and ensure statusColorize is true. The statusType property controls how the value is interpreted: auto infers the type, numeric compares against statusWarnThreshold (default 70) and statusAlarmThreshold (default 90), boolean treats true/on/active as alarm, and enum does a case-insensitive match against statusEnumWarn and statusEnumAlarm.
Each QAMapMarker supports up to 5 live value rows (value1Label/value1Ord through value5Label/value5Ord), an optional alarm count via alarmCountOrd, an image via imageUrl, and a clickable link via the link property. You can also enable showPopupSparkline on the QAMapsView to display mini trend charts for each value row.
Yes. Each marker has a markerStyle property (pin, circle, dot, ring, square, diamond, or triangle) and a markerIcon glyph (building, hospital, school, office, factory, warehouse, power, water, star, or none). For animations, set markerAnimation to pulse, bounce, or blink, and use animationState to control when it triggers — always, on any active status, on warn+alarm, or alarm only.
Yes to both. On the QAMapsView, set clusterMarkers to true and configure clusterRadiusPx and clusterMaxZoom to group nearby markers at lower zoom levels. For weather, set showWeatherBanner to true and bind weatherTempOrd and weatherHumidityOrd to your station’s weather points — the banner currently supports temperature and humidity.
Our Customers
QA Graphics did an exceptional job on the graphics for our recent project, which was full of confusing and complex systems. You would almost think that QA Graphics was part of the project from the beginning. In fact, I have been surprised many times to find that little obscure things were picked up on that I was sure would be missed. I REALLY appreciate the work QA Graphics did on this project.

I would like to throw a huge shout-out to you and your team for all the hard work on the project. After downloading the new MUI package we expected to see problems and were prepared to come back to QA with a bunch of fixes. This was not the case at all. QA really nailed it on this one and we at JCI are so thankful that you are part of the team!! This was by far the smoothest package that we have had to drop in and it really made us look good in front of this customer. This site has now become a showcase piece for future MUI sites and we are excited to show off the work that was done. Again, thanks so much for all the hard work and please let your team know how much we appreciate them going the extra mile to get this done in such a tight time frame. Looking forward to continuing the relationship and growing together as the future brings on more exciting projects.
