Edit Tool in Web AppBuilder

JoeFlannery

It appears that the Edit Tool in a Web AppBuilder map does not work with a feature service from ArcGIS for Server. A "hosted" feature service from within AGOL works just fine. Will the final release of WAB allow ArcGIS for Server Feature Service editing?

P.S. I love the Cut/Split and Union capability in the Edit tools! Bravo!

Is anyone else having issues editing feature services that are symbolized using unique values? Only one of my templates works the other two will show up in the edit widget but will not draw and pop up to edit attributes.

You reference storing the UN/PW with the service. How do you do that? We use secured services and it seems a pain to have to login to AGOL AND AGS.

Please keep us informed on any resolution! Very interesting.

My issue is odd. I've been back and forth with Esri and they are able to load all of my features in any Edit Widget, but they don't know why I can't. As far as I can tell there are two ways in which you can access a Widget within WAB. One is through the buttons that overlay the map itself, such as these buttons:

These buttons open up a pop-up that is small and if I have my Edit Widget setup through one of these buttons ALL of my 19 features are displayed in it. However, the other way to setup a Widget is in one the tabs in either WAB theme, like this:

The pop-up window(panel) with these tabs is set to bigger dimensions by default and the only layers that load for me are those you see in the screenshot in my earlier post. It only displays features that add up to the width of my screen. I've tried dozens of things to fix this. Maybe I can go in and change the size of the feature template symbols displayed in the Edit Widget.

Interesting, and thanks for posting the workaround @Venus Scott. I did not run into any issue with AGS security running ArcGIS Server 10.1 SP1 with AD as identity store. I agree that the editor widget design is far from perfect. I have had most luck with the theme shown below (I think it's called the "foldable" theme.)

Any else having issues with all of your layers loading in the Edit widget? It only displays the layers that all together make up the width of your screen, so if I were to scroll down in the list of templates (see images below) none would appear past the initial 12 or so layers, which the width of my screen can display without scrolling down. You can see that it doesn't even show the symbology for Culverts. That whole side panel for the Edit widget is buggy.

I am having the same issue. In the WAB configuration window for the Edit Widget, the editable Feature Service I have running under my AGS just does NOT show up as an option to choose in the Edit Widget Config.

I followed the "Joe Flannery" workflow above, but still no dice. Any ideas to try?

I should have clarified this more. I am using a secured feature services hosted on our AGS and not on AGOL.

What's really strange about this is I can use the same secured feature service and any other AGOL "template" application just fine, just not the WAB.

Venus:

I'm not sure of your workflow, but I am using "secured" features services from our ArcGIS for Server in my Web AppBuilder map.

My workflow is as follows:

Add a secure feature service to "My Content" in AGOL. Make sure to "Store" the UN/PW with the service.
Create and Save a new map in AGOL that includes your secure feature service.
Share the map and feature service with a Group
In the new map, use the "Share" then "Make a Web Application" options to build your Web AppBuilder map.
Configure your Web AppBuilder map making sure to enable editing as I discuss in an earlier posting in this thread.
Save and use the web map app.

Unless they are "secured" feature services. I've just reported a "bug" regarding "secured" feature services on AGS and the AGOL WAB tool. Support confirmed my findings.

MY MISTAKE!

I added features services from ArcGIS for Server (AGS) into my map that feeds the Web AppBuilder (WAB) app. I then forgot to go back into the WAB Edit Widget and "Configure" the new feature services to be Editable. So, to be clear, Feature Services from AGS can be edited via a WAB map app.

Ben:

I see the same behavior - Edit layers are in reverse order of the Table of Contents Layer List.

Anonymous User

When you click on the edit button (or Edit Layers tab, depending on what theme you're using), is your list of editable features in reverse order compared to the legend or layers list tab? I don't see anywhere to change the order of the editable features.
