Saving Filters

MaryEllen_Perko

Hi.  I cannot figure out why some of my filters will not save in my web maps.  I am creating filters on layers in my internally hosted map services.  I add the service.  I create the filter with prompts.  It works fine.  I save the web map.  I open the web map. The filter isn't there. But, it sometimes work for some map services. Can anyone share what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Mary Ellen

Hi Mary Ellen,

Doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong. Can you try this:

Enable popups on the layer you want to apply the filter. The filter definition will then be saved in the web map.

If it’s necessary for popups to be disabled, after saving the web map with filter / popups enabled, open the web map again and disable popups and resave it. The filter will remain applied with popups disabled.

This may be the issue you're seeing (it's a bug with map service feature layers that don't have popups enabled - will be fixed in the next website update, in September).

Thanks,

Chris
