Being able to zoom/navigate images without viewing them in fullscreen mode.

A client of mine has a use case where they utilize the split-view functionality in a customized screen in Maximo Mobile. In this use case, users need to navigate an image (instruction/drawing/blueprint) on one side of the screen while at the same time being able to select items from a list displayed on the other half of the screen, where items correspond to parts/items in the image. Today in Maximo Mobile, the only way to navigate images is to tap them and enter fullscreen mode where the image can be zoomed and moved around. In this fullscreen mode users can't access the list forcing them to memorize part/item numbers while jumping in and out of fullscreen mode. In this use case, not being able to zoom/navigate/manipulate images (without it taking up the entire screen real-estate) defeats the purpose of split-view as no multi-tasking is taking place and productivity goes down. Customizations to enable this behavior seems tricky and difficult to maintain which is why I'm creating this enhancement request. Thanks in advance, and let me know if I'm not making sense to you. Regards, Marcus

    Hello Jordan,

    Thanks for your input. We are using an <image> component on the right-hand side of the screen at the moment, but there are still scenarios where users need to zoom to see the details of the drawing. Also images doesn't always fit in the allocated space (<split-view-column>) no matter how much we play around with the height and width tags on the <image> component.

    Hello Marcus,

    The ability to zoom in and out, pan, and generally control the viewport requires a full screen view to achieve reliably. If exposed outside of the modal, the component would not be reliable or function well in tandem with other elements on the page, such as scrolling. To satisfy this use case, the customer could create a repeater with the <image> component in the right-hand side of the screen, rather than using the <attachment-list>. This would show a much larger image in the split-view that would not require any zooming or panning in most scenarios.
