How to Add Data Search to Basic Viewer

CraigMcDade — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:56:02 GMT

We recently purchased a subscription and need to add the ability to search through our content for records (parcels, zoning, land use, etc).

I have experience building custom applications with the Javascript API, however, when I download the basic viewer code, it seems set up quite differently than what I'm used to on the Javascript API side.

Is there a how to or documentation or anything that could help me to add this functionality to the basic viewer?

I know the Parcel Viewer template allows this, but with that template you lose all of the other widgets (alternatively, if we could add legend and layer toggle to the Parcel Viewer Template, that would be great).

Thanks.

The only documentation is the general documentation available for the JavaScript API.

http://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/

You can also post in the JavaScript forums.

Have you tried the 'Parcel Viewer' app template that comes with ArcGIS Online? It appears to have the ability for you to point it to a layer which you can then search on the attribute values.

Yes, but like I said in my OP, that template doesn't have other widgets that we need, namely: legend, layer toggle, printing.

Seems as though there isn't an out of the box template that has everything available.

+1 for this. It would be great if a "published" basic viewer app had the ability to actually search a hosted layer like the parcel viewer template.

Ditto! Please add a configurable search to the Basic Viewer or throw some elements into the Parcel Viewer app.

Thanks!
