Change fields on label in public notification

City_of_LenexaKansas — Wed, 29 Apr 2015 12:13:01 GMT

Is it possible to change the fields populated in the Avery labels when using the public notificaiton app? I would like to remove the parcel ID and add a generic addressee field which we have in our address data model. I have changed the parameter that (i was assuming*) passed the fields to the labels here in the code:

but I still get the whole parcelID, owner names, etc

Anyone know where to make this change to the fields on the labels? Much appreciated!

The config.js file sets all of the map and query parameters. So as long as you are setting the proper map to query and the fields in that map to use for the avery labels then all should work.

This is the part of the config.js file that sets the map that will be queried.

// Map Services for operational layers

TaxParcelPublishingLayer: "yourRESTlayerNamegoeshere",

When it queries the above rest layer, it will snag whatever fields you have in this part of the config.js to fill the avery label. In my case, I use different fields also and everything works as it should:

//Fields for Avery labels

AveryFieldsCollection: ["OWNER_NAME", "ADDRESS_1", "ADDRESS_2,ADDRESS_3", "CITY_NAME,ST,ZIPCODE"],

Hope this helps,

Luci

Thanks Luci - that's exactly what I did. I don't know if you can tell, but from the screen shots I do not have a parcelID in the AveryFieldsCollection, yet it's the first line on the label. That's where I'm completely confused...

This actually does work as expected for the Property Owner, it's only for selecting propery occupant that it fails.

When the "Occupants" box is checked, it uses a different field list. In the config.js file, change the following to the fields you want in your label:

//Name of the occupant

OccupantName: "Occupant",

//Fields of the occupant

OccupantFields: "PIN,HOUSE_NO,HSESUF,STREET,ST_MD",

Thanks,

so close!

I do get the site address, city, state, zip though it prints all on a single line and out of order, like this:

SiteAddress

Occupant

City

State

Zip

I really don't want the OccupantName to come from the code or from that input box, but rather from the "ADDRESSEE" field in our data, so now my question has morphed somewhat in order to figure out where that is passed to the GenerateLabels GP tool. It looks like it should be from that array listed above. Mine looks like this:

OccupantFields: "ADDRESSEE","SITEADDRESS","SITECITY","SITESTATE","SITEZIP",

Thanks again for your assistance!

Hey Stacey,

Make sure the two lines in the config.js file for the Occupant look like this:

//Name of the occupant

OccupantName: "ADDRESSEE",

//Fields of the occupant

OccupantFields: "SITEADDRESS, SITECITY, SITESTATE, SITEZIP",

I don't know why they formatted those fields differently than the AveryFieldsCollection but they did. Notice the ADDRESSEE is by itself for Occupant. Remove the " marks in the OccupantFields - Only one " at the beginning and one " at the end.

Thanks,

Luci

After a couple of days banging my head against the wall, I finally enlisted the assistance of one of our programmers and she completed the following changes:

File	Line	Change
config.js	280	Commented out OccupantLabel (not needed anymore)
config.js	283	Old acceptable format was values like "ADDRESSE, SITEADDRESS, SITECITY" and did not let you format multiple fields on a line. New format is ["ADDRESSE","SITEADDRESS", "SITECITY,SITESTATE"] and will put fields in the same "" on the same line (like owner).
infoWindow.html	66 & 69	Commented out references to OccupantLabel.
infoWindow.js	74	Commented out reference to textoccupant (OccupantLabel).
infoWindowView.js	91	Commented out reference to textoccupant (OccupantLabel).
infoWindowView.js	504	Commented out string split on occupantFields, reinstated modified line on 532 but could have been left in upper location. Makes more sense to have it closer to it's first call though.
infoWindowView.js	531+	Commented out if statement inserting occupant label into output. This gets rid of a blank line.
infoWindowView.js	581	Revised the split string as on line 504, revised version is immediately below here.
infoWindowView.js	612+	Commented out the if statement inserting occupant label into output like 531+.@
