Domain Values

ScottStepro1 — Tue, 23 Jul 2019 12:36:20 GMT

Can someone confirm that insights does not recognize domain values from a hosted feature service? Better yet, tell me it does and I am missing it entirely.

Thank you in advance!

Correct. Today Insights does not support domains nor subtypes. This is something that we want to support in the product in the future, but sorry we don't have a specific release/date to commit to delivering this within.

Scott Stepro‌, I submitted this as an ArcGIS Idea a little over a year ago. You can visit it here: https://community.esri.com/ideas/14983 . Feel free to up-vote it or add your own comment.

Update: Domain values work with both GeoDatabases as well as Feature layers as of ArcGIS Insights 2020.1.

Can you clarify what you mean by "Domain values work", please? The Get Started page for Domains and subtypes lists major limitations for this type of field:

Calculating a field
Applying an advanced filter

When will fields with domain values have first class support along the lines of numeric or text fields?

Hi Ryan, These items are in our backlog however are lower in priority to other items. I strongly urge you to add this request to the Ideas site and have people vote on it. We pay close attention to the Ideas of our users.

Can you provide the link again to the ideas page please?

So what was the Solution? As far as I can see there's nothing but a loop back to the original question.

Within Dashboards you can calculate and see items in domains, however, frustratingly, it's not in Insights.

I'm wanting to create a calculation that will provide an inspection cost - basically if Inspection Type = Emergency then apply cost of £xx.xx

Will the ability to see and work with domains be added in the future?

According to the marked solution, domains are now supported in Feature Layers in Insights 2020.1. I have not yet tested this.

My planned workaround was a database view which combined the original table and domain table as part of the view, so you would see the original code and resulting value as separate fields. I haven't tried it yet, but probably will as I can see other applications of this (really anytime you want to use the table in a way not yet supported by live domain lookups.)

Hi, if they are now supported, how do we make this work? I'm on 2020.3 Desktop and online, and don't even see fields that contain domains when wishing to calculate a value or advanced filter.

I have a hacky trick that might be helpful. Join the table containing the coded value domain field with another table. The result is a table where the domain description is stripped away from domain fields and only the coded value is returned. The resulting field is no longer a domain field, rather has the data type of the coded value. If you don't have another table to join your data to, you could probably just join your table to itself. Again, this is a bit hacky, but might make more of your data usable in Insights.
