I have map with 2 layers, one for supplier at the top and for country . the issue is when user selects land in the dashboard everythings got filtered as desired. I use calculation that supplier point are visible only in case a land or other fileds from other sheets get selected. In the Dashboard the suppliers for the selected country are hidden cause the Tableau selection highlighting.
you can see that if user select something on other sheet the daufalt map will get filtered and suppliers (blue icons) are visible.
my cocnlusion is the highlighting feature doesn't allow me to see the supplier points when map is clicked. on the particular map sheet everything is visible.
is there any option?

@Patrik Melichercik the outline feature really only outlines the borders of a geography. The datavis.blog
has a set of examples of what can be done with the fairly new OUTLINE() function if that's what you're asking for. There are limitations.
What you're trying to do, which is now the first that I'm seeing it mentioned in the thread, is more of a drill-down process Region --> Country --> State/Province which is an entirely different concept and process. They can be complicated, and not always work as intended. You can look at
@Yuri Fal who has his example and Andy Kriebel has an exampleas well.
Insofar as user-friendliness, this for me is more of a training issue than anything. A notation in the dashboard would suffice to tell the user how to use the dashboard, and still get the functionality you're looking for. They'll just need to hit the ESC key once/twice to exit out of a polygon that has been selected.
I don't currently see a method of using 'on select' at this point without a greater level of involvement and likely some type of additional layering which may or may not break things due to too many competing actions, whether filter action, highlight action, parameter action and so on.
Sorry that we weren't able to help. Maybe those additional links will help point the way for you. Best, Don
