Create a hyperlink to a feature

MikeFiguray — Thu, 04 Oct 2018 21:55:46 GMT

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to create a hyperlink to a specific feature in a web map which I could then paste into an email? I have users that occasionally forget to finish editing a feature and it would be great to link to the ObjectID or something and have it bring them right to the feature to complete editing.

Thank you!
Mike

You can Share a Scene via URL in Scene Viewer. Will that work for you?

I've never worked with Scenes, but it looks like I can only share the whole scene, and not an individual feature.

Have a look at this link: Use URL parameters to modify maps—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS , at the end you will find the topic "Find location or feature to open".

Hi Mike,

I think if you set up a feature layer search in the web map, you can use URL parameters just as Xander Bakker‌ mentioned. Depending on the app that your users are using, you can also use search URL parameters within apps:

Use URL parameters to modify embedded maps—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS

Using URL Parameters In Web Apps

Use URL parameters—Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS | ArcGIS

Please let us know if any of this gets you up and running.

Thanks,

Kelly
