Unable to Create New Features in an Editable Layer Using Web Mapping Application

JasonBrown

Greetings!

We wanted to develop a very basic web mapping application that would allow end-users the ability to add, update, and delete features for an editable layer (in this case a road network).

I have completed the following:

1.) Developed/shared a web map
2.) Published and Downloaded a web mapping application using the configurable Basic Viewer application template (with feature editing capability) available from ArcGIS online.
3.) Installed on our web server, and performed some minor customization.

Almost everything looks great, and performs as it should, with one exception: We are unable to add new features to the editable layer. We can select existing features and modify/delete them, but we can't add new. I am not using ArcGIS Server.

I might also add that if I publish the web mapping application directly to ArcGIS online, I can perform edits just fine.

What am I missing? My head hurts from beating it against this brick wall...

Should I have posted this in the JavaScript API Forum?

Thank you in advance!

Jason

We are having the exact same issue with our web service. The attribute information can be edited but when we go to the edit screen in ArcGIS Online even though the layer is there we cannot add data/move data. Was there any head way made on this issue?

Unfortunately, no. We basically ended up going in a completely different direction with this particular project. THANKS!!

Hi

I solved my problem by going back to my mxd. Redoing my categories for my difrrent symbols and publishing it back to ArcGIS online.

Hope it helps.

Hi Mike

I have a similar problem to cityofgreenriver

I have 2 feature services in a map. They both have the same edit settings.

If I try to edit them in the default ArcGIS online map viewer. It works fine, you can create edit and delete.

I then published the map to the basic viewer web application. When I open the app I can edit features from both layer but cannot add new features for the second layer. The edit legend only shows one of the services.

Any advice? I have checked, republished and tried a view other things.

Doh! No, I didn't set up the proxy as you mentioned. I'll give this a shot and let you know how it turns out.

Thanks Again!

Well, it seems you can rule out a problem with the service since you are able to edit the data when published through ArcGIS Online.

Did you set up the proxy when configuring the application locally? The instructions are in the readme file.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

I have it set up to enable editing and allow editors to add, update, and delete features.

I have also enabled sync, and tracking of who created and last updated features.

How have you configured editing on the feature service? Go to the item page of the feature service and click the Edit button. Scroll down the page to see these options.

Enable editing and allow editors to:
- Add, update, and delete features
- Update feature attributes only
- Add features only

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

The layer was uploaded from a zipped shapefile, and then published as a feature service hosted as part of our ArcGIS Online for Organizations subscription.

What is the source of the layer you want to edit? If you uploaded a shapefile or CSV into the map, or added a Map Notes layer, these layers don't support multiple user editing. Only the owner of the map will be able to edit the data. Others can edit the data but would not be able to save changes back to the original map, instead saving as a new map.

The only types of layers that support multi user editing are those based on feature services, either running on ArcGIS Server or hosted as part of an ArcGIS Online subscription.

Thanks,

Mike
