Filter Widget Not Working in Map

ChristinaNeal — Thu, 07 Apr 2022 17:52:56 GMT

I created an app in experience builder that contains a map, list widget, feature info widget, and filter widget. The filter was set up and successfully worked to filter projects in the map, list, and feature info widgets. A few weeks later, I went to check on the app and noticed the filters are no longer being applied to the map, just the list, and feature info. The map will zoom but the points will not filter. I also noticed when a project is selected from the list, the point will not highlight on the map, so it is difficult to tell which point is selected. The map is zooming and attempting to work but the point layer is not cooperating and working as expected. I attempted removing the filters and re-creating them, as well as duplicating the app and neither option has worked. The point layer filters and works as expected in the new map viewer, outside of experience builder. Again, everything was working as expected a few weeks ago. Nothing has changed within the app to my knowledge and everything appears to be set up correctly. Any ideas for what could be wrong?

@ChristinaNeal Is it possible to share the app with me so we can take a look?

Hello Christina, thanks for sharing the app with us.

This has been identified as a regression issue and should have been fixed by now. Feel free to give it another try and let us know if you encounter any other problems.

Thank you! Everything is working as expected now.

@TonghuiMing I am noticing the same behavior as originally described back in April. My filter widget appropriately filters my table and a text box linked up to display the number of filtered results, but the map still shows the unfiltered data view. Is it possible this update was reverted again with the ArcGIS Online release in June?

@JarrettGreen Any app for us to take a look at? Tried the original issue and sample app, and the zoom to action works fine.

Unfortunately no, it's in development and still private. I did find a work-around to use the Default data view instead of creating my own. I think perhaps that's required because when you specify a trigger on the map, you can only choose a data layer from the map and not a data view configured in the app.

If that's the case, please reach out to Esri Support so the analyst can work with you to build a reproducible case. Thanks.

I've just noticed the same behaviour as mentioned by Christina back in April. I have an Experience created with Filter, List, and Feature Info widgets, which were all working perfectly previously when Filters were applied, however are now not. No changes were made to the application, and it was working fine on the 12th of August (discovered the issue on the 13th). The Experience has been created on my company's corporate Enterprise Portal. I've just tested with a blank template that includes just a Map widget and Filter widget, and the Filter widget when applied is removing all features from the map extent, as opposed to retaining features with the filtered value. Any advice / solution / info regarding why this is suddenly happening would be much appreciated. My Experience application was planned for release early this week (project work commencing Tuesday)....

I am having a similar issue.

I am using the filter widget and a list. The list is not showing the correct attribute it is supposed to show and shows no data. I have no idea what I am doing wrong.

@GregoryHanton - sorry to hear that. Hope it does not give too much trouble for your app. Which Enterprise version are you on? The Enterprise version would be 1-2 releases behind the AGOL release so it might be because of that, but I am not so sure without any more information.

Is this issue back? I had working (as I remember) filters on one of my EB apps and now any unique value selection on one filter (Cubes) will remove all points on the scene (and no changes on the Table), and the other filter (Proxies) will have no effect at all on both the scene and the table. Can you have a look please? What makes the behavior weirder is that the Cubes filter does work on the Pie Chart. Here is the link https://arcg.is/1Cf1Sq

Hi @CenkDemiroglu - Thanks for sharing the app. I can reproduce the issue you mentioned, but it seems that neither of these are regressions.

1. The issues with table filtering

Since the filter widget is placed inside the Map widget container, it got reset when you switch the section views - that is why you cannot see Table filtering behavior in another view. You can see that the filter criteria have been reset once you switch back, as well.

This is a long-lasting behavior (checked a few release versions ago, same behavior), and we will help take a look at it. Meanwhile, the workaround is to change the layout a bit and move the filter widget out of the map container, then it will work properly.

2. From my test, the first filter is not correctly filtering features (even though it removes all features, it shouldn't) - which would be caused by a rendering mechanism which we will contact the corresponding team to take a look at. The second one is working properly.

Thank you for the help. Filter 2 (Proxies) still gave me the same problem of no changes on the map. I anyway re-inserted the two filters in the Header. Now the Proxies filter works well on map-table but the issue with the Cube filter removing all points on the map remains (it works well with the table and the chart).

Glad to hear that you have it resolved by re-organizing the filters. For the remaining issue, we have directed it to the corresponding team for further investigation.

@TonghuiMing Hi - I am having this same issue in our enterprise EB. At this point I only have one filter because I've been unable to make it work and it is located outside the map widget.
