Reporter - Instant App

ablum — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 19:00:03 GMT

I see there is a new reporter through Instant App. I've been using the Crowdsource Reporter but since it's being discontinued I started using the new one and I can't some some features that were available in the older one.

How do I have the location fill in on the form automatically when they click the map?
Also, is there a way to not them click outside the boundary like in the previous version?

The Instant App does not currently support limiting entries to a boundary area. I've been holding off on upgrading waiting for that piece of functionality. I was hoping it would be in this latest AGOL update.

Someone did post an idea to add it to the instant app...

Hi @ablum Hope you're doing well. I'd like to bring to your attention that we've implemented the new functionality to restrict reporting within boundary. Please go through this blog to learn about the new features in reporter from AGOL June 2025 update. What’s New in Reporter Instant App (June 2025)

Is this question ever going to be addressed?

Hi @GabrielGueretta Thanks for reaching out to us. The feature is in our roadmap, but I don't currently have a timeline for implementation. I'll get back to you when I have more information. Thank you.

I am unable to get the Attribute filter in the Reporter app to work, the configuration looks simple but when used the filter does not apply!

@MarkNewman Can you share a little bit more about the issue you having with the filter? Are you able to share the app?

Hi Beth,

Thank you for contacting me, not much more I can say about the attribute filter except that it is not working, I had removed it from the app but have added it back in so that you can see.

Hi @MarkNewman The link prompts me to log in. Could you share the creds in the DM for us to evaluate. Do you see any console errors in browser dev tools when you apply a filter? Did you try changing the filter parameters to see if it's showing the expected results?
