Near Me widget not seeing available feature layers in map

NicolaRiordan — Thu, 28 Sep 2023 09:57:50 GMT

I have the Near Me widget on a web app, but it only sees a few of the available feature layers in the map. If I group the feature layers, then it can't see them at all and won't let me add them as targets. It also doesn't see some of the ungrouped feature layers. Some of these were uploaded from zipped shapefiles and some were uploaded as web services, it doesn't seem to make a difference. For example I have two feature layers that I uploaded the same way, and they have the same settings, it sees one but not the other. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the help, but I don't see the 'select search layer(s)' or set button under the search settings tab. Under the analysis tab I can add feature layers for the analysis, however, only those that are not grouped within groups appear. Anything that is within a group that is within a higher level group is unavailable and does not appear here. How do I get to these without having to ungroup them? i have a large number of feature layers in this app so it looks better to have them organised into groups.

This sounds like a programming error on ESRI's part. Objects in React must be spread at every level to be fully accessible. You should take this issue up with ESRI support and tell them that they need to create a 'deep clone' of the layers in the settings.

Since Near Me is still technically in Beta support may not help you, so I'm going to tag a few people on the product team here. @TonghuiMing @AlixVezina

Hi @NicolaRiordan,

Near me supports group layer, so it should be able to use feature layers whether they are grouped or not. Is it possible for you to share your web map with me?

Thanks

I have a similar issue where not al feature layers are visible in the Near Me configuration (AGOL Experience Builder; not the developer version). The commonality between all the layers that are not visible is that they are nested within groups that are part of other groups.

Group name
- Layer name - visible
- Sub group name
  - layer name - not visible
  - layer name - not visible
- Layer name - visible

The issue seems to have resolved itself. I am now able to add any layer. I guess Exp Builder and/or AGOL were updated.

I am facing the same issue, but the layers are all in the same map service and not group, I am using builder experience, one of the layer list are appears in the results an the other are not despite the fact that I configure the tool. What should be the issue?

As you are getting your data from a Map Server, the first thing to do is to check if your layers are Feature Layers. They may or may not be. Near Me will only work with Feature Layers.

@MajdoleenO_A__Awadallah Are you using Enterprise environment or online?

Thank you all. I am using ArcGIS Online, and I finally solved the issue. It was related to the visible field in the analysis layer, which should match the one shown in the database when publishing the service, I guess.
