Problems creating a relationship for Reporter

jewa — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 22:39:38 GMT

Hi, ArcGIS community! I am trying to create a layer that can be voted on and commented on in the Reporter app. However, I'm struggling to create related fields in ArcGIS Pro with my dataset. For one, I can not add Global IDs to my (parent) layer. Since this is not working, I'm not sure what to use as the origin primary key. Then, when I add the table I want to create the relation with, an error pops up that they're not in the same database. I can not figure out where to start when approaching this problem. I've created relationships before, so I'm wondering if something is wrong with the data I'm using. I also have never used the Instant Apps, so there is def a learning curve there 🙂

Thanks for any advice, resources, or suggestions!

Hi, @jewa I'm glad you're trying out reporter instant app. Instant apps are quite intuitive and easy to configure. In reporter, you'd need a related table for the commenting capability, and vote is stored in a numeric field in the feature layer. For the global id issue, I recommend you open a ArcGIS Pro support ticket , and they can help you with issues with your data. If you've any questions related to reporter instant app, I'd be happy to help you.

Thank you, I was able to figure it out. However, for some reason the likes and dislikes are coming up when you go to add a report on the app as an editable number. How can I get rid of this while still keeping the layer editable? Thanks!

Hi @jewa you can turn off that field in the map viewer's form config. The form that comes up when you submit a report is coming from the form configuration, and report details you see after submitting it comes from the layer's popup.
