Hi Yigal, thanks for sharing this info about the success you found in using gpsgate. With regard to the issue of gpsgate not supporting https, does this mean that your WAB apps and map services also can not use https and everything must run via http? (In our case we are using ArcGIS Portal for Server with Windows authentication and this requires every component to use SSL, such that everything has to use https....which may limit our options ) Pascual Benito, PhD Associate Engineer Northgate Environmental Management, Inc. 428 13th Street, 4th Floor, Oakland, CA 94612 phone (510) 839-0688, ext. 225; mobile (510) 381-0304; fax (510) 839-4350 www.ngem.com Certified Bay Area Green Business CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail and its attachments from Northgate Environmental Management, Inc. contain information that is confidential and/or privileged and is intended for the sole use of the individual or entity named above.

As follow up to my earlier question/comment. We did further testing and I believe we have discovered that the problem is not in WAB, but is actually possible BUG in ArcGIS Server when returning results for spatial layer that is coming from a non-ArcSDE  geography type that is in different projection than the rest of the layers. In our case  problem is actually happening on ArcGIS Server side of things and strongly looks like is a bug in how it is handling returning the geometry coordinates for queries against a feature class which is not an ArcSDE feature but is a SQL Spatial geometry object. ArcGIS Server is asked to return the coordinates for the feature in Web Mercator (e.g. meters), but it is incorrectly returning the lat long values of the coordinates and then attempting to go there in Web Mercator system which is close to 0,0, and sends us off to west coast of Africa.   We tested out the map request directly from the ArcGIS Server Rest endpoint and this is how we isolated problem: This is example of the query that WAB was running when we clicked on attribute table: WAB sends request to zoom to feature which is in WGS84 SQL Spatial geometry  (and should should be returning geometry  in Web Mercator   wkid=102100  coordinates): https://servername/arcgis/rest/services/PWA/ACPWA_MaintStar_Viewer/MapServer/101/query?f=json&where=&returnGeometry=true&spatialRel=esriSpatialRelIntersects&objectIds=5&outFields=*&outSR=102100 Response - appears that ArcGIS Server returns Long/Lat values for coordinates instead of the requested Web Mercator: {"displayFieldName":"wo_no","fieldAliases":{........:"edited_by","edit_dt":"edit_dt","ESRI_OID":"ESRI_OID"}, "geometryType":"esriGeometryPoint","spatialReference":{"wkid":102100,"latestWkid":3857},"fields": ....

When I last researched this topic about a year and a half ago, my assessment was that this may not be possible due to how Windows handles allowing access to  external GPS devices via an application running in the browser as opposed to a non-browser based application (like ArcGIS Collector or an app developed in ArcGIS SDK) running natively on the same device. My understanding was that in order to access an external GPS device, the software must make use of the native Windows Location API.  There are then two components of uncertainty when trying to use your external GPS device: 1) is your GPS device recognized by the new Windows Location API,  and 2) does the browser you are using to access your WAB app make use of the native Windows Location API, or will it default to some other geolocation API that will instead return the location of IP Address or something like this.   It would be interesting to hear if anyone else has concrete experience they can share on trying this out.   ...

Thanks Robert! That sounds as easy as can be! I will go give it a whirl.

Hi Robert, (or others who may know answer). I have an app that was configured with an older version of the eSearch widget (v 1.2.0.1).  We've configured dozens of layers for use with the widget and  I was trying to understand if there is a process  for updating to the newest version of the widget without having to reconfigure all the layers from scratch? I  see that there is "versionmanger.js" file that looks like it must somehow help with this process, but I wasn't totally sure and was looking for more info on if there are any limitations in trying to upgrade versions once you have many layers configured and also some instructions on the steps to do this properly. (Apologies if this was asked and answered earlier, but I could not find an easy way in geonet to search through all the 64 pages of comments associated with the post). Thanks again for sharing the fruits of your development labor and knowledge with the wider WAB community! Pascual  ... View more

Hah! Yes, it looks like a little bearded gnome face!

I like this flat icon maker site. You can search by category or tags and then  customize the outline shape, color, fill, and size, before exporting image file: Free Flat Icons - FlatIcons  ... View more

Hi Leonardo, just curious if you ever resolved this issue or learned more about the source of problem? We're having similar issue where we have a feature class coming from SQL Spatial that is defined in WGS 84. Our MXD and Map Service is in California State Plane NAD83 (all of our other data is in this projection), and whenever you click on the feature in the  Portal (or AGOL) map viewer or WAB attribute table, the map pans over to (0,0) instead of to the actual feature location (which shows up fine on the map).  At the moment my theory is that there is some bug in AGOL map viewer  attribute table widget that is getting confused with the fact that the feature has different spatial reference than the map service and because data is not coming from ArcSDE source (I assumed that ArcGIS server takes care of reprojecting on the fly etc..).  The problem doesn't occur if I publish the layer alone as WGS84, but I was hoping to keep everything in a single map service because of some other custom widgets that operate on the map service layers. ...

Thanks for the suggestion, I had started to look in this direction. It seems like you have to set it so that you hide all the editable feature layers from the layer list, while at the same time you leave them checked as "visible" on the map (else they don't show up on the editor template list).   I guess the possible downside of this approach is that the user can create situation where the visibility of the editable and non-editable version of the layer don't match. For example they can turn off the non-editable version of the 911Calls Hotspot Output_Features, but nothing prevents them from  creating new Output_Features using the editor widget, and these new features won't be displayed on the map until they realize that they need to turn the non-editable version of the layer  back on to see the new features. In the Portal/AGOL Web Map viewer app, this can't happen because the editable and non-editable version of the layers are always turned on/off at same time.  But I think that this work around is probably my best bet for time being, and I will make end users are aware that they must have the non-editable version of layer turned on as well.  Thanks Again! ...

I agree, very nicely done application. Almost not even recognizable as a WAB application.  Every icon and widget  looks like was custom developed or modified and I see functionality, such as the map themes, that I have not seen in any other WAB site. Did you develop a number of custom widgets for the map themes and other advanced tools? Can you describe the development process? E.g.  was a single County GIS developer/consultant? Or team of developers that included GIS and other HTML/CSS developers? I see that app has now gone public: Interactive Map - County of Simcoe (GIS) .  Kudos! ... View more

Hi Robert, thanks for the the link to the other discussion.  Alas, I was of course hoping for something out-of-the-box in terms of some kind of WAB configuration for applying permissions to a widget akin to applying permissions to a web map, but I suspected that was not likely something in place yet in WAB. If I understand correctly, we will need to develop a "widget visibility control" widget that runs at startup and has the function of getting the username/group and then sets the visible state of each widget depending on which widgets are allowed for a particular user/group. ...
