Hi Guys,

There is a way to custom the attributes windows and add some data such as combo box to select 1,2,3 from it and if there is a way to disappear the feature after closing the application so if he or she will open the application next day the incident feature will not appear in the map.

Thanks 🙂

To add a combo box, the easiest way to to add a domain or pick list to the field. This would need to be done on the database. Not sure if you are familiar with this or not so here is a link to creating them:

http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//001s00000001000000.htm

Once you have created your domain, then you re-publish the MXD and clear the REST cache. (not always necessary but I find it to be good practice in schema changes like this).

For your second question, the only thing I could think of was to add a field, call it visible and make it a YEs or No field. Set the default value to Yes. Then mayeb you could build a model and python script that runs at a set schedule that sets all the yes' to no. You could get fancy and make the script so that it only switches it to a no if someone has changed a different field to indicate they have seen the incident.

Regarding to second question if i will add a field and name this field as status which accepted a yes or no how i will used this field in the flex to check the value or there is a way in the feature layer to check that.

Thanks 🙂

After i add field to my feature class and i called it status i used the definition expression to check the value of this field if it is No then display it.

Thank you again 🙂
