Possible to delete features based on date?

JohnVan_Hoesen — Mon, 29 Aug 2016 21:43:58 GMT

Hi all -

I'm exploring options for creating a crowd-sourced map where users can contribute information (either point with editable pop up or GeoForm) that may have an expiration date. I know it's possible to use Google Spreadsheets and a Google Form to have users provide an end date and some If/Then statements to delete that entry. However, that workflow is limited to 1000 features I believe, so I'm wondering if there are any options within AGOL to remove features after a certain date (stored in the attribute table) has been reached?

I hope this question makes sense and happy to elaborate more.

Thanks

John

Hi John,

You can apply a filter to only show the features you want. Below is a helpful document on how to create a dynamic date filter:
