ArcGIS Online viewer: 'change symbols' not available for selection

MikeBell

I created a simple map in ArcGIS Online viewer. I added a layer from our AGS and then went to re-symbolise but the 'change symbols' window is not available when I click the arrow. Is this something to do with the type of AGS service I'm using?

Apologies in advance - I'm brand new to most of this so may have missed a step.

The Change Symbol option is not available for layers based on ArcGIS Server because the symbology is defined by the map that the service is created from.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks - I suspected that may be the case but couldn't find an explicit mention in the help.

Hi Mike in this case is there any documentation on what kind of services symbology can be defined, if i want to create a thematic then what kind of service has to published?

Mike Minami

Things have changes a bit over the last 2 years when this thread was started.

You can publish a feature service (hosted or ArcGIS Server) which allows symbology changes.
A dynamic map service running on ArcGIS Server allows symbology changes
A static map service, when accessing individual layers, allows symbology changes. In this case, you would specify the URL down to the layer index when adding to a web map (www.xyz.com/arcgis/rest/services/someservice/0).
Uploaded Shapefiles, CSV and GPX files.

Thanks,

Mike

adams_c84, I have the exact same symptoms. I can create a map service that allows for "change symbols" and I have found hosted feature services that allow for this, but feature services that I create on our "on premise" feature services do not present users with the "Change Symbols" option when the layer is accessed in the web map viewer. Were you able to resolve your issues?

If you have any resolution to share, it would be greatly appreciated.

You need to select "disable editing" when you are working with the feature service in the web map then the option to "Change Symbols" becomes available.

Hope this helps,

@Aimee: thanks, it also saved my day!

Can someone please explain to me why this is nowhere to be found in any documentation? I've been banging my head on this one for quite some time. If there is a note in documentation, can someone point it out?

Can I disable editing...change symbols...and then enable editing again? Or is this not possible since I will be breaking the feature template published with the service?

Thanks Aimee,

For more information about changing symbology on specific services, check out the following documentation.http://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/create-maps/change-symbols.htm

Kelly, thanks for supplying the AGOL resource link.

I was just struggling with this topic and stumbled upon another gotcha ... thought I'd pitch in my $0.02. When publishing a map service, make sure you enable "Allow per request modification of layer order and symbology". This can be found in Service Editor -> Capabilities -> Mapping.
