How to make a feature layer?

StephenLam

I am trying to make a web-editable application, with a feature layer like the example 311Incidents, however I found there are some different between my "layer" and the "feature layers"

1. I found that my publish feature layer state it is a "layer", but the arcgis example is named with "feature layer"

2. My published feature layer does not have any types

As such, my question is, what is the correct way to create a feature layer with the self-defined types? Thank you.

Stephen,

If your feature class is empty then you will have to manually add values that you want to use. To do this go to the layers properties, click symbology, unique values. Select the field you want the value to come from (ideally this should be a domain you have set up), then use the add value button.

The other way you can do it is to define your own feature templates:
