Make XY Event Layer available in WebApp Builder

OmolaraKareem

I am trying to provide my users with a tool that will let them upload .xls and/or .csv files containing xy coordinate data from their systems (desktop, network drive, thumb drive, etc), perform a process and map the result as a point layer. Please view the attached pdf which illustrates what I have tried and failed at (i.e. creating a geoprocessing tool and publishing as a service). I am definitely doing something wrong. Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Note: This tool will be incorporated into Portal for ArcGIS WebApp Builder. I am aware that coordinates can be mapped in Portal for ArcGIS, however it only accepts lat/long. We work with UTM and I will not want to pass the headache of always converting to lat/long before mapping to my users or take on the burden myself.

I look forward to any help.

Jake, I've created a model that mimics yours as well as publishing it as a service with "Uploads" enabled. However, when I go to use the service in a WAB application the Upload button does not appear, any thoughts? Is this feature allowed via AGOL-hosted Web Apps or is it limited to Portal?

Thanks, this thread has been extremely helpful!

I did it!!!

Thanks so much Jake. Much appreciated.

I have another problem now. Everything worked as it should but in a list of 23 xy coordinates, only the first one was plotted. Can you tell where I missed it? I've checked over and over, don't know what I've done wrong.

Here is a modelI was able to get to work with a CSV file. I simply added the Make XY Event Layer tool to model builder and set parameters for input, X & Y fields, and output. I set the spatial reference to the coordinate system of my choice.

I then published this to ArcGIS Server as a Geoprocessing service. I made sure to check 'Uploads' for the Capabilities so that the end user can upload a CSV file:

I could then successfully configure and execute this in Portal:

Thanks for your reply Jake. I have looked into the Add Data Widget. It has the limitation of accepting only lat/long. I need something that will accept UTM.

Hi Omolara,

If you are working with CSV files, take a look at the Add Data widget:
