Is there a way to highlight a selected feature from a query?

SimonCrutchley

When you run a query it is possible to set the results to appear on the map and zoom to them. However, you may have run a query that pulls back tens or even hundreds of records and zooms to the full extent. If you zoom to a single one, by clicking somewhere in the resultant box, the map centres on the feature, but there is no differentiation of the feature. In WAB a highlight box used to appear around the selected feature so you could see it.

There doesn't seem to be any obvious way to do this in EB, unless I'm missing an advanced feature somewhere.

Thanks

Go to the Action Tab and set up a Record Selection Changes Action. Any of these should highlight your feature on the map. If you just want a highlight, Map > Flash is your best option. You might also want the Map > Zoom To or Pan To or the Framework > Select Data Records options.

Hi Jeffrey, I've already done this with 'Show on map' and 'Zoom to' for 'Records created' and 'Zoom to' and 'Flash' for 'Record Selection changes'. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell this produces the effects in the query and highlights all the results, not the induvial feature.

The Records Created Action activates when the Query is run and should highlight all the queried features. The Record Selection Changes Action should activate when the user interacts with the query results. These Actions should work the way you want. I just tried it. Maybe your highlight color and the symbols from the Records Created Action are too similar? I've also noticed sometimes the order of your Actions makes a difference.

Thanks for that, but I'm not quite sure I understand. As far as I can see the only change to symbology I can make is for the 'Show on Map', which only relates to 'Records created'. I can't see any way to change the symbology for 'Record Selection changes'. Am I missing something?

Hi Jeffrey, I tried this in AGOL and it works, so it looks like this is a bug in Portal ☹️. Thanks for your help with solving the mystery.
