Web experience select by location, intersect?

K_Jueckstock — Tue, 20 Feb 2024 21:22:15 GMT

Looking to create a filter that will select everything within a selected boundary. I have a feature with permit locations, and a feature with municipal boundaries...I would like to do a multi-layer filter that allows you to select the boundary ie city of Lansing, and then select the feature ie active permits, is this possible??

I think something like this should work.

Add a Near Me Widget. Set the Search Distance to 0, the layer to your permits layer and the Analysis type to Proximity.
Add a Search Widget. Set it to a Layer Source with the data being the municipal boundaries.
Give your Search Widget a Record Selection Changes > Near Me > Set Location Action.
Give your Near Me Widget a Record Selection Changes > Framework > Filter Data Records Action. The Trigger and Action Data should both be the permits layer.
Add a Filter Widget connected to the pemits layer to handle any non-geographic filtering options.

@K_Jueckstock Based on your description, I believe the new Select widget can achieve what you want.

For example, I want to select cities and highways based on a certain selected state, and you can configure the "Select by data" as a spatial configuration to do so:

@TonghuiMing Can the filter widget do a similar thing as the Select widget?

I have over 20 different layers in my map document and I want the the user to filter those layers by polygon region (Region 1,2, 3...). So if a user filter for region 1, all the data, from all the layers that fall inside the boundary of region 1 will be filtered and displayed on the map widget.

So essentially, is there a filter that is a spatial filter?

Thanks

Hi @doronwen - unfortunately there is none yet. There are quite a few requests in the community and one support ticket (ENH-000165284) to follow this up:

Selecting polygons within polygons can be problematic and this method worked for me, thank you for posting.
