Filter Data In Field Maps

pjdohertygis — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 15:47:38 GMT

Update: Implemented! Thank you Esri.

Doc: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/field-maps/latest/prepare-maps/configure-the-map.htm#ESRI_SECTION2_D4A1D89377A3411C8CA25C49F1C28187

Real-World Problem: Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Task Forces need to be able to collaborate with other teams sharing one common map. However there are times when they want to see just the data collected by their own Task Force or by a certain date.

Technical Problem: There is no way for the end user to filter Field Maps. This means the map author needs to create separate feature layer views for every possible scenario (impossible).

Solution: Allow the Field Map author to setup predesignated filter options like you can in Web AppBuilder or Experience Builder. Then the end-user should be able to just click on a filter button and choose how to filter (eg Date, Team, User, etc). It could just be a option in the tools dropdown.

Hey @pjdohertygis great timing! We are starting development on layer filtering this week. It is a fairly large development project with an anticipated beta this summer. Would you be interested in joining the beta when we launch one? Can you share filtering details for the task force (ie field type, is there a CVD, etc)?

I'm actually going to close this as a duplicate of the Add a filter widget to ArcGIS Field Maps idea which has a lot of discussion already. As Jeff mentioned, this is something we are starting development on. Can you post your details on the other idea?

@JeffShaner
Did this functionality ever made it to the production environment? Just checking in see if there are any updates that you could share here.

@viewpropartner

It is in the Nov 2022 beta release for user testing.

Snippet below

The November 2022 Early Access (EA) Program includes a subset of the capabilities that will be in the November 2022 release.

Get started with creating new maps and layers from right within the Field Maps web app!
- Create a map for data collection with new point, line and/or polygon layers
- Configure layer settings for use in Field Maps mobile
  - Indicate the use of high-accuracy GPS receivers to collect data.
  - Indicate if the layers will be used to model or analyze 3D spaces.
Geofencing with point and line features
- Buffer point and line features to use as geofences
- Filter features to use as geofences
Layer Filtering
- Define which feature layers and fields can be filtered.
- With Field Maps mobile, tap on the Layers tool to filter a map layer based on one or more attributes

@JustinReynolds
Thank you. Any ETA on when these features will be pushed to production version and for everyone's use?

@viewpropartner

Perhaps as early as 11/10/2022... Rumor has it that 22.4.0 will be released tomorrow... I'm not 100% if layer filters are available in that release.

@JustinReynolds Has there been movement on this? I do not see filtering available yet on the most recent releases...

@ArmstKP

Layer filtering is indeed available in Field Maps. You can author them in AGOL (not Enterprise at the moment... pretty sure). They are not yet full featured (e.g. can't filter by a date field). I've played with it a bit and seems pretty good so far. I've picked up on a few bugs every once in a while where the labels for features that were filtered out are still visible.

@JustinReynolds Thank you. How do you go about 'authoring' them?

Re: Filter Data In Field Maps

JustinReynolds — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 18:12:25 GMT

@ArmstKP

You can find the documentation here: Add Layer Filters.

And how to use them in field maps here: Map and Panel - Quick Reference See item 3 "Layers" where it discusses the Filter button.

@JustinReynolds Thank you for the direction!

Filters are only available on text fields. That is great, but also disappointing...

I second the above comment. Filtering on date field is what we need!

what about using filter functionality on a dataset that has already applied filters. looks like it is not working.

to describe it better: i have a filters applied ( Mobile map level) to a dataset to show features ( polygons) that are related to specific team of surveyors - filter looks like "team = X and status =Y or team = X and status =Z" - this filtered dataset is used in Field Maps app (FMa) dedicated to team X... so far so good. but if a user of FMa would like to filter by a specific surveyor ("surveyor = AB", a text field) it is not bringing any results back 😕 Is it because my dataset is already filtered and those 2 filter statements are not adding up properly in Field Maps?

In my Enterprise 11.0 version , Still i am not seeing the layer filtering, So any other ways to do the layer filter.

When is layer filtering going to be available??

Re: Filter Data In Field Maps

pjdohertygis — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 15:46:18 GMT

@ColinDRioux at least in ArcGIS Online this is now available and we are using it. It works well! Next we need date filtering….

See doc: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/field-maps/latest/prepare-maps/configure-the-map.htm#ESRI_SECTION2_D4A1D89377A3411C8CA25C49F1C28187

Ran into this issue Oct 2024 and looking to be able to filter by date (or null date) in Field Maps. Does anyone know if there has been traction on this enhancement and/or on the roadmap yet?
