Layer Filter by Date in Field Maps

Triflight — Mon, 03 Apr 2023 21:26:29 GMT

Hi,

I want to allow my Field Maps mobile users to filter features they create by date. Currently, features are added in overlapping areas so being able to see which features were added on what days would be extremely useful. I see the option to add a "Layer Filter" in the App Settings section of Field Maps Designer, but the Date field is not an option there.

Am I missing something? Is there some other setting that I need to enable? In my opinion, being able to filter by date is a pretty standard feature but does Field Maps just not have that functionality yet? And if it doesn't, are there other options to achieve this goal?

Hello,

It is not supported... yet. see the link below.

It is unclear whether or not filter by date or numeric fields is on their road map. My guess is yes. It seems trivial so there may be some limitation or decision that was made to only support text fields and fields with coded values for the initial release.

Limitations aside, layer filters need to support date and numeric fields. I was pumped to see this added for Field Maps only to be disappointed by the date limitation which is the key filter we need for our utility inspections dataset. Alternatively, the ability to inherit the filters applied in the web map would be fantastic - to be able to toggle the filter on/off that was already built in the web map.

Has this feature been added on yet? This would be extremely helpful. Or does anyone know of a work around?

This would be a nice enhancement. It would allow field staff to adjust the work tracking layer I have running.

This this is the number one functionality that all my end users ask for across all projects. I currently have to create a view layer for each feature layer they want to filter time for, and then set a static filter (e.g. In the past 2 weeks). This workaround doesn't allow any flexibility and is cumbersome to manage, since I have to delete those view layers each time there's a schema change. Please please implement a time-filter.

People I work with need this functionality (filtering by date in Field Maps) as well - I hope this happens soon...

Been waiting for this for quite a while.

Having users be able to filter GPS points to show only recent points within 7/30/etc days would be a great feature.

Any update on this? Seems like a significant oversight by Esri that should have been fixed by now.

This would be great functionality to be added and seems like a fairly common ask. Currently we treat date as text so people can at least select one date to filter but always get the following ask seconds later, "can I filter by a date range". Seems such a simple thing, would love to be able to say "yes, field maps done that natively".

@LocationDataServ Hi there, I think it will work in 11.4. I'll believe it once I upgrade most likely to 11.5 in 6 months.

Looks like it's still not available in AGOL. Hopefully it'll be part of their summer upgrade.

Good news! I attended the ERGIS conference last week and this functionality is coming in a "future release" It wasn't marked as "near term" so I'm guessing it's not part of the summer release, but maybe fall or winter.

Can anyone from Esri shed some light on when this will be available? It's not an insignificant gap in functionality.

“I’m really looking forward to this update! It would be a real game changer for our team and would drastically change our workflow.

If we could get an update on this, I would be very grateful.”

This would be an awesome function to have.

Add me to the list of people interested in this!
