Zone Lookup Push Pins

SavannahThomson1 — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 15:17:08 GMT

Is there a way for the map pin to go to the address that is entered rather than the middle of the zone it is within? Our workaround was to only have the address label appear because the pin is confusing.

It would be amazing to have the pin show up on the address entered so the end user could see where they are within the zone!

The image below shows the push pin going to the center of the zone rather than the address (circled in red).

Do you mean like this?

Portland City Council Districts Lookup Tool (arcgis.com)

Yes! How did you do that? The only way I could get the pin on an address in my app was manually clicking.

I'm not sure since it's been a while since I set this up, but here's the settings...

I used "features within zone" since this is a school locator app but unfortunately the "for a zone" option did not fix my push pin issue either.

Thanks for trying to help! Hopefully it is an easy fix I am missing.

@SavannahThomson1 is your app public if so can you share the link? If not can you provide a screen shot of the settings and I'll take a look.

Here is the link: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/849bf9b6ea13414889763a075266d5f5/page/Find-Your-Elementary-School/

I removed the push pins and only have the address labeled to not confuse people but you can see the address goes to the middle of whatever zone it is in.

These are my current settings (I tried the "for a zone" as well and it did the same thing):

Thanks I'll take a look and see what we can figure out.

Looks like this happens in cases where there is a search layer defined and an address is entered in the search box. We have a fix for this and it will get pushed to ArcGIS Online one night this week.

I am still having this issue, was a fix ever implemented? Picking the location works fine, but entering an address caused the pin to be placed at the zone center. When I turn on the address label for the pin it behaves exactly as the original issue. The strange part was everything was functioning as expected, until I published the app. Then this behavior started.

The update Kelly mentioned fixed mine. Hopefully she has a solution for you as well!

Are you using Enterprise or Online? If Enterprise which version? And are you using the default locator or do you have a custom one? Is your app public? If so can you share the url so I can take a look?

We are AGOL for this app using a Springfield Locator that is in my portal. I do have the default ArcGIS locator in the app as well and tested using that locator. Same result. We are in testing phase for the app, but I just published with public access here:

Thank you Kelly!
