FeatureSetByName Not Working

SayenaMarandi — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 19:22:25 GMT

I am working on an ArcGIS Dashboard where I want to dynamically access the Incident_Date field from the "TAG Point data" layer, which is already included in my web map inside the dashboard.

I tried using FeatureSetByName() in an Arcade expression within an Indicator widget, but I keep getting errors stating that $map, $datastore, and $data are not defined.

Here are two examples of what I tried:

var fs = FeatureSetByName($map, "TAG Point data", ["Incident_Date"], false);
var minDate = OrderBy(fs, "Incident_Date ASC")[0].Incident_Date;
return Text(minDate, "MMMM dd, yyyy");



var fs = FeatureSetByName($data, "TAG Point data", ["Incident_Date"], false);
var minDate = Min(fs, "Incident_Date");
return Text(minDate, "MMMM dd, yyyy");

But none of these work because $map, $datastore, and $data are not recognized in the Arcade Dashboard profile.

What is the correct way to reference a web map layer that is already included in my Dashboard when using FeatureSetByName() in an Indicator widget?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

To return the minimum date, you'll have to use FeatureSetByPortalItem to get the layer.
