Operations Dashboard - Filtering Data

ChrisHolmes — Thu, 29 Nov 2018 16:53:37 GMT

Hello, I am very new to using Operations Dashboard, but so far I am liking very much what I am seeing. I have much reading to do on the topic but wanted to come here with a few questions.

Here's what things are looking like so far:

I've found that I can filter the display in the list based on what's displayed in the map window. But my question is:

1. is it possible to filter the data displaying in the map window based on what's selected in the list (so if 'LOC2020-0003' is clicked in the list, then that's all that's displayed in the map window).

Question 2: when I set it to zoom to the item that I click in the list, it zooms in really far. Is there a way to set the zoom level that it zooms in to?

Question 3: Is there a way to print what's in the map window?

Thanks everyone,

Chris

1. To filter the data displayed in the map based on the selected item in the list, hover over the list element and go to Configure (gear icon) -> Actions -> Add Action -> Filter -> Add Target and set the target to be the map's operational layer.

Actions—Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS | ArcGIS

2. There's not a built-in way to set the zoom level.

For polylines and polygons, the app zooms to the extent of the feature.
For points, there is a "pointZoomScale" property that can be added/modified in the dashboard json (via AGO Assistant or other) to set a specific zoom scale. This property is not exposed to the dashboard creator at this time and must be manually changed in the json.

More details:

3. I don't think there's a way to print from Operations Dashboard. There's an Idea proposing something like this:

I'm trying to get the action set up for filtering but after doing Add Action there is nothing available to choose from for Target. Any ideas?

In my testing, that happens if the map layer is a map image layer. I think the map layer needs to be a feature layer to be able to filter its features.

Ok, thanks. I was wondering that. Will play around some more.

Perfect, thanks. After publishing as a Feature Service I got the filtering working the way I want it!!
