Problem Note 62731: The object inspector in SAS® Visual Investigator shows details for a different object than the one that you selected

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

In Map View, when an object has multiple points at the same location, the object inspector might show details for an object other than the one that you selected. 

These steps demonstrate an example of how this problem occurs:

  1. Search for an object where the search result has points in the same location. For example, search for a person who is named Smith. You then see multiple family members named Smith at one location (objects B, C, and D). A single instance of Smith (object A) is found in a different location.
  2. Switch to Map View. The points in the same location then show in a group. Select the result (object A) that is not in the group. The details for object A show in the object inspector. That result is correct and expected.
  3. Select the group icon. Once you do that, select one of the objects (either B, C, or D) in that group. The object inspector remains unchanged, incorrectly showing the details of object A.

To work around this problem, click object A again so that it is not selected. Then, if you click object B, C, or D in the group node, the details for that particular object are shown in the object inspector as expected. You must select a single object, one at a time, in all views except Network View, in order to see details in the object inspector.
