Reporting and Export options in Operations Dashboard

KaceyPham1 — Wed, 23 Jul 2014 19:17:20 GMT

Hi,

I would like to be able to create a report of the results of queries and other widgets in Operations Dashboard. I would like to be able to export to pdf, excel, or csv. I have been unable to find a reporting or exporting add-in on ArcGIS Online. Can anyone offer in help or suggestions?

Thank you,

Kacey

Hi Kacey,

The team has written an Export to CSV map tool which exports selected features from your map widget to CSV files (one file for each feature layer). You can find the tool through the steps below:

1. Open an operation view from Ops Dashboard

2. Go to WIDGETS > Mange Add-ins > Add

3. Search for "Export to CSV" (as shown below, please be sure to pick "All Results")

4. Double-click to add the addin

After adding the addin file you can add the map tool to your view. You can then select some features from the map, then click on the map tool, it will prompt you to specify a location to save the exported CSV files. After you do so it will export the attributes of the selected features.

Please let me know if you need more info.

You're very welcome Kacey, glad it helps!

I will be posting thesource code of this tool to our team's GitHub next week, please check it out if you are interested in modifying the tool with your business logic.

Hi Tif,

The Export to CSV tool is working great in general but it has a bug that I wanted to share with you. Each time I open a view and wish to use the Export to CSV tool, I must remove and add the tool from the toolbar by choosing Tools -> Edit Operations Dashboard and then open Configure map tools settings and uncheck and recheck the Export to CSV tool. After I do that, the tool works fine. If I don't perform those steps, I get a error message saying that no features are selected if I try to use the Export to CSV tool, even though points are selected.

Thanks again for sharing the tool and let me know if there is any fix to the bug.

Best,

Kacey

Hi Tif Pun,

This is very cool indeed. Just one wish if I could. After making your selection and exporting, could we have the ability to re-name the export file? It seems to default to the layer name (or map name im not sure). I can see making several selections and exporting multiple features very handy!

thanks again for the great add-in functionality,

Gerald

I think the tool works great also, but also have the same issue with receiving the message that no features are selected when there are selected features. If I uncheck and recheck the Export to CSV tool on the map configuration, it starts to work again.

I'm having the same problem. Has anyone found a solution?

Does anybody know if this Add-on is supported in the Web Browser version? I created and saved an Operation View with the Add-on but when I try to open it in the Browser version it disappears...

Thank you!

I noticed that as well. As far as I understand the add-on is not supported in the web browser version.

Hi Charlie,

Have you recently used this add-on? I tried to add it to a new Operation Dashboard the other day and it didn't work properly. I can use it once or twice fine (select records, export to .CSV) and then I start getting an error message that says "Please select records". The only way I can get it to work again is if I remove the Add-on and add it back in, but that's not ideal. Has anyone else encountered this error?

Thank you!

Alina

Hi Alina,

I just opened and tested an Ops View I built several months ago using the export CSV from http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=f7849431c1494225991a1d241592efc2 and it is still working fine. I know there are many versions of the export tool out there so maybe try using this one? I am running Windows 7 and Ops Dashboard version 10.3.1.1026 | Runtime Version 10.2.5.825

Hi Charlie (and Alina),

Yes, WPF-based addins (such as this export CSV map tool) will only work in the desktop app and not the browser app. However, using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript you can develop extensions that can be cross-platform (please see here for more info).

Cheers,

Tif

Recently we've added an "Export to CSV" feature action sample to our GitHub repository. It's written using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript and will work in both the Windows and browser platform. Please check it out and if you would like to help improve the sample, we love getting pull requests and issues from you!

Yes I am having this bug also, I really want to deploy the tool to my team, but this is holding me back, as this is a huge feature that they would need.

Does this work to pull CVS data based on the filtered criteria of the dashboard?
