Can't get the value for my field in my PopupTemplate

TracySchloss — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 20:06:36 GMT

Maybe someone can spot what I'm missing. I have a popupTemplate based on data that is from a linked table. I am creating a pie chart. All the values for the chart are in the join table, and from the layer, I just need county name. Both the layer and the table are in a file geodatabase.

If I create a plain infoTemplate, defined as

var genericInfoTemplate = new InfoTemplate("generic", "${*}");

I can see all the values I want, both from the layer and the joined table. The county name is available as county.COUNTYNAME

Here is my rest endpoint:

Layer: Veteran Population by Race - current (ID: 2)

Here is how I'm trying to defined my popupTemplate:

  var raceTemplate = new PopupTemplate({
    title: "{county.COUNTYNAME}: Current Veteran Population by Race",
    fieldInfos: [{ 
        fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstAsianVetPop", 
        visible: true, 
        format: { places: 0 }, 
        label:"Asian" 
      },{ 
        fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstBlackVetPop", 
        visible: true, 
        format: { places: 0 }, 
        label:"Black" 
      },{ 
        fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstHispanicVetPop", 
        visible: true, 
        format: { places: 0 }, 
        label:"Hispanic" 
      },{ 
        fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstWhiteVetPop", 
        visible: true, 
        format: { places: 0 }, 
        label:"White" 
      },{ 
        fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstMultiRaceVetPop", 
        visible: true, 
        format: { places: 0 }, 
        label:"Multi-Race" 
      },{ 
        fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstOtherVetPop", 
        visible: true, 
        format: { places: 0 },
        label:"Other"
    }],
    mediaInfos: [{
      type: "piechart",
      caption: "Hover to see value for each race",
        value: { 
          fields: [ 
            "VetPop_current_Race.EstMultiRaceVetPop", 
            "VetPop_current_Race.EstOtherVetPop",
            "VetPop_current_Race.EstWhiteVetPop" ,
            "VetPop_current_Race.EstBlackVetPop", 
            "VetPop_current_Race.EstHispanicVetPop",
            "VetPop_current_Race.EstAsianVetPop"


          ] ,
          theme: "PrimaryColors"
        }
      }]
});

Besides not using PopupTemplates very often, this is also the first time I've defined infoTemplates in an ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer using myLayername.setInfoTemplates. I don't know if that makes any difference or not.

Tracy,

You just needed to include the county.COUNTYNAME field in your fieldInfos array

var raceTemplate = new PopupTemplate({
        title: "{county.COUNTYNAME}: Current Veteran Population by Race",
        fieldInfos: [{
          fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstAsianVetPop",
          visible: true,
          format: {
            places: 0
          },
          label: "Asian"
        }, {
          fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstBlackVetPop",
          visible: true,
          format: {
            places: 0
          },
          label: "Black"
        }, {
          fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstHispanicVetPop",
          visible: true,
          format: {
            places: 0
          },
          label: "Hispanic"
        }, {
          fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstWhiteVetPop",
          visible: true,
          format: {
            places: 0
          },
          label: "White"
        }, {
          fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstMultiRaceVetPop",
          visible: true,
          format: {
            places: 0
          },
          label: "Multi-Race"
        }, {
          fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstOtherVetPop",
          visible: true,
          format: {
            places: 0
          },
          label: "Other"
        }, {
          fieldName: "county.COUNTYNAME",
          visible: false
        }],
        mediaInfos: [{
          type: "piechart",
          caption: "Hover to see value for each race",
          value: {
            fields: [
              "VetPop_current_Race.EstMultiRaceVetPop",
              "VetPop_current_Race.EstOtherVetPop",
              "VetPop_current_Race.EstWhiteVetPop",
              "VetPop_current_Race.EstBlackVetPop",
              "VetPop_current_Race.EstHispanicVetPop",
              "VetPop_current_Race.EstAsianVetPop"
            ],
            theme: "PrimaryColors"
          }
        }]
      });

Thanks - now I'm trying to include a description under the title. This is just a string, not pulling from a value. When I add this, it only loads my title and my chart, but none of the values.

This seems to match the examples. I'm adding it right below the title:

var raceTemplate = new PopupTemplate({

title: "{county.COUNTYNAME}: Current Veteran Population by Race",

description: "Population values for 2015",

fieldInfos: [{

....

Tracy,

It is either or. You can use description or if you do not use description then the popup will use the fieldinfos that are set to visible and display those in a table layout format. If you want to add some static text as a description then you have to add all your field values text to the description as well.

Here is a example (just using Asian):

var popupDescTemplate = 'Population values for 2015<br><table class="attrTable" cellpadding=0px" cellspacing="0px"><tbody>' +
          '<tr valign="top"><td class="attrName">Asian</td><td class="attrValue">{VetPop_current_Race.EstAsianVetPop}</td></tr>' +
          '</tbody></table>';

      var raceTemplate = new PopupTemplate({
        title: "{county.COUNTYNAME}: Current Veteran Population by Race",
        description: popupDescTemplate,
        fieldInfos: [{
          fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstAsianVetPop",
          visible: true,
          format: {
            places: 0
          },
          label: "Asian"
        }, {
          fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstBlackVetPop",
          visible: true,
          format: {
            places: 0
          },
          label: "Black"
        }, {
          fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstHispanicVetPop",
          visible: true,
          format: {
            places: 0
          },
          label: "Hispanic"
        }, {
          fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstWhiteVetPop",
          visible: true,
          format: {
            places: 0
          },
          label: "White"
        }, {
          fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstMultiRaceVetPop",
          visible: true,
          format: {
            places: 0
          },
          label: "Multi-Race"
        }, {
          fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstOtherVetPop",
          visible: true,
          format: {
            places: 0
          },
          label: "Other"
        }, {
          fieldName: "county.COUNTYNAME",
          visible: false
        }],
        mediaInfos: [{
          type: "piechart",
          caption: "Hover to see value for each race",
          value: {
            fields: [
              "VetPop_current_Race.EstMultiRaceVetPop",
              "VetPop_current_Race.EstOtherVetPop",
              "VetPop_current_Race.EstWhiteVetPop",
              "VetPop_current_Race.EstBlackVetPop",
              "VetPop_current_Race.EstHispanicVetPop",
              "VetPop_current_Race.EstAsianVetPop"
            ],
            theme: "PrimaryColors"
          }
        }]
      });

I was hoping for something obvious I wasn't seeing, but at least there's a way to have both.
