AssetGroup and AssetType value in Map Viewer

gpgisandsky

Hi,

I tried to publish a web map using two methods, starting from a utility network feature service:

1. Using a group layer
2. Using a traditional layer

When I use the map viewer in Portal (11.3) and enable the identity (to display the pop-up) feature, the behavior differs between the two methods:

• In the first case (group layer), the AssetGroup field appears as a code value instead of the name, while the AssetType field appears as the description value.
• In the second case (traditional layer), the result is inverted: the AssetGroup field appears as the name, while the AssetType field appears as a code value.

This is a well known bug, which seems to be better in the November release of AGOL, so hopefully will be better in Enterprise 11.4.

To get around it you need to publish you service with each UN layer symbolized on the Asset Group field. Don't bother doing any symbology on the feature layer. Once the service is published you can then add it to a web map and change the symbology. You will need to add each UN layer multiple times if you want to replicate what a sub-type group layers does e.g. if you want to turn valves off, but leave hydrants on.

Web AppBuilder does not support Sub-type group layers and ExB only supports them on the map at 11.3, but support in widgets is better in the new AGOL version and the improvements should be in the next developer edition.

Hopefully that makes sense.
