use the data_filter URL Parameter for data views

AndresCastillo — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 17:57:38 GMT

I have a use-case in which I would like to use a data view in a data_filter url parameter.

In the filter, I want to populate the count of a data view that is created from a layer.

The url parameter would be placed inside of the web map popup, and lead the user directly to the filtered page for that data view text.

I am able to successfully filter an operational layer in the application when I refer to the <webmap_id>-<layerid>, in this case:

dataSource_1-18a09b4c123-layer-1

https://domain.portal.com/portal/apps/experiencebuilder/experience/?data_filter=dataSource_1-18a09b4c123-layer-1:Code=%27NYP%27&id=1373fa22361e4b31b4eaaa36bd2dabcd&page=app_page

I am NOT able to filter the data view created from that layer:

I obtained the data view's id from the app's item_data in the form of a json text (using arcgis assistant).

In this case, the view's id is:
dataSource_1-18a09b4c123-layer-1-dataView_1:

https://domain.portal.com/portal/apps/experiencebuilder/experience/?data_filter=dataSource_1-18a09b4c123-layer-1_dataView_1:Code=%27NYP%27&id=1373fa22361e4b31b4eaaa36bd2dabcd&page=app_page

The json shows this configuration for how the text is derived in the app:

"text": "<p>Arrivals: <exp data-uniqueid=\"30b6aeb7_1db3_adce_2edf_80afb82fe54f\" data-dsid=\"dataSource_1-18a09b4c123-layer-1-dataView_1\" data-expression=\"%7B%22name%22%3A%22%20%22%2C%22parts%22%3A%5B%7B%22type%22%3A%22FUNCTION%22%2C%22exp%22%3A%22COUNT%22%2C%22dataSourceId%22%3A%22dataSource_1-18a09b4c123-layer-1-dataView_1%22%7D%2C%7B%22type%22%3A%22OPERATOR%22%2C%22exp%22%3A%22(%22%7D%2C%7B%22type%22%3A%22OPERATOR%22%2C%22exp%22%3A%22)%22%7D%5D%7D\"><span contenteditable=\"false\"> </span></exp> </p>",

Out of that piece of json, I'd think the 'data-expression' string would be relevant to grab for the url parameter to control the dynamic text.

Here is that string for better visibility:

{ "name": " ", "parts": [ { "type": "FUNCTION", "exp": "COUNT", "dataSourceId": "dataSource_1-184ce793cfa-layer-9-dataView_1" }, { "type": "OPERATOR", "exp": "(" }, { "type": "OPERATOR", "exp": ")" } ] }

I am using ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2

"originExbVersion": "1.12.0"

At this time, this is the only related post:

I would appreciate anyone's help:

Hi @AndresCastillo,

I want to clarify the question. When using URL to filter the data view, is the result of the Text expression not filtered?

Thanks,

Thank you @Ke_Xu for your inquiry.

My main issue is that:

data views that are defined for a layer within Experience Builder do not seem to support being controlled by url parameters.

Hence, the example I gave where:

The main layer (dataSource_1-18a09b4c123-layer-1) works with a url parameter, but

The data_view (dataSource_1-18a09b4c123-layer-1-dataView_1) defined from the main layer is not able to be controlled with a url parameter.

The only reason I gave the example json of the dynamic text is because that is where ExpB seems to be grabbing the dataSourceId to be able to control the data_view.

Alternatively, it appears that the url parameter cannot support data_views as the layer to pass into the data_filter.
