topic creating a time aware layer when the time data does not come from GIS? in ArcGIS API for Flex Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-flex-questions/creating-a-time-aware-layer-when-the-time-data/m-p/247265#M5868 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I am trying to create a proof of concept application for facilities management. We have GI Data which is basically feature polygons representing accomodation facilities plotted on a map. We have a completely separate system that exists on another server that holds all the booking data for the accomodation facilities. My problem is how to visualise the bookings via Flex API / Flexviewer so that we can see a time slider type representation of bookings. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have looked into this and as my GI data does not have any time attributes, I am not sure how to enable the time tab in arcmap to create an mxd to publish that I can create as a service and publish through the intranet. I am sure there is a way to cross query the data and bring back a dataset that has all the bookings for each facility with dates attached. Can I create all the "time awareness" part on the fly in the code?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Does anyone have any tutorials / examples / suggestions for this please. I am not sat in front of my work pc so am unable to play with the code at this point, but was hoping someone could give me a leg-up" for when I tackle this on monday!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any help appreciated as always. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>cheers, </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Graham</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 16 Sep 2011 16:43:48 GMT grahamcooke 2011-09-16T16:43:48Z creating a time aware layer when the time data does not come from GIS? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-flex-questions/creating-a-time-aware-layer-when-the-time-data/m-p/247265#M5868 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I am trying to create a proof of concept application for facilities management.
