Why point features in a query zoom to location, but polygon features don't?

SimonCrutchley

This is sort of a continuation of this thread (https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-portal-questions/how-to-get-a-query-result-to-symbolise-so-the/m-p/1587543), so I'm hoping to get an answer. When I run a query on the two layers within my app, I get different responses in the results. In both cases I've set up so that the results show results using the webmap settings, which results in a filmstrip with a thumbnail image and some text. If I click inside any example of one of my point feature results, the map zooms to that location. However, if I try to do the same for the polygon features nothing happens. I can't use the 'Data Actions' option, which might allow this, because it enables Export of data (even when this is unticked) and I cannot allow this.

People were very helpful getting me to be able to change the query result appearance, so I'm hoping you might have an answer here.

Thanks

I can easily zoom to a result from a query on a polygon feature. There's no need to use the data action; instead, you should use the message action. When the record selection changes, it will automatically zoom to the selected feature when you select that option.
