Using ArcGIS Online to create police perimeter on demand

KennieHarris

Our police department wants an app that will allow them to click on a location and generate drive time and walk time perimeters from location. I know you can do this with an existing point feature class, but can it be done on demand with a mouse click?

Hi Kennie Harris,

You can make a simple app to support this workflow using Web AppBuilder, the Draw and Analysis widgets, and a web map with a map notes layer in it. It's not a one-click workflow, however. Using these components, the user would need to perform two steps using the draw widget and the analysis widget. First, they would use the draw widget to create a point of interest using the map notes, and then, using the analysis widget, you would configure the widget to run only the drive-time analysis tool, and the user would then select the name of the map notes layer to run the analysis against...its not a perfectly clean workflow, but its something you could put together quickly to support that particular workflow need. Hope it helps!
