Having trouble configuring Public Notification Widget in Web AppBuilder

deleted-user--MMnVrog9xw_ — Mon, 12 Feb 2018 19:17:15 GMT

I am attempting to use the Public Configuration widget in Web AppBuilder on ArcGIS online. I created a web map that contains a map service layer with our county parcels, and then created a Web AppBuilder app from that map. I added the Public Notification widget but when I click on it, it says "No layers with addresses templates popups have been configured". When I go into the configuration no layers show up under the "Address Layers" tab.

I have configured the popups for the parcels layer with the following expression:

{relationships/0/FULLNAME}
{relationships/0/MAILINGADDRESS}
{relationships/0/CITY}, {relationships/0/STATE}, {relationships/0/ZIPCODE}

This seems to match the screenshot that is in the documentation for the widget but the documentation is pretty vague on how to configure the layer for use with the Mailing notification widget.

What do I need to do to get the configure the feature layer so that it is usable with the Public Notification Widget?

James,

One or more layers in your web map have to have their popup enabled with a description then you will see that layer as a choice in the Address Layers list.

Robert,

The popups are enabled for the feature layer.

But the popups have to use the description part of the popup.

What do you mean by "the description part of the popup"? I have the popup set to display "A custom attribute display" like it shows in the documentation.

After you chose the "A custom attribute display" dropdown option did you click on the green configure button and add some fields to the description text area?

Yes, that is the expression that I posted in my original post above.

{relationships/0/FULLNAME}
{relationships/0/MAILINGADDRESS}
{relationships/0/CITY}, {relationships/0/STATE}, {relationships/0/ZIPCODE}

Strange. Have you tried it with attributes from the layer itself and not a relationship? I have it working without using a relate.

Yes, I just tried that and it still shows nothing in the widget. Are you using a Map Server or Feature Server layer?

Edit: I switched to using a Feature service instead of Map Service and it seems to be working now. I guess that was my issue.

Mine is coming from a Map Server. Also for testing purposes can you add some static text in with the related table field names?

I switched to a Feature Server layer and it is working now. Interesting that yours worked with a Map Server though.

James,

It is a specific layer coming from a Map Server though so in JS API terms it is a FeatureLayer not a whole Map Service.

Right, mine was as well. Although it did have the related table. So maybe related features are supported with Feature Services but not Map Services for the widget? Not sure, but it is working now.

Great, Don't forget to mark this question as answered then.

I have the same problem as James but my layers are not in a relationship.

However I do have map service layers instead of feature service layers.

But you said that it shouldn't matter. Any other thoughts?

May,

Are you adding an individual layer of the MapService or the whole map service to the web map?

Re: Having trouble configuring Public Notification Widget in Web AppBuilder

MayKao1 — Thu, 15 Feb 2018 19:04:04 GMT

whole map service.

Re: Having trouble configuring Public Notification Widget in Web AppBuilder

May,

Try adding a specific layer to your web map from your map service.

Still can't get map service to work. I gave up and switch over to feature service. Now it's working!

Thanks for your help.

May

Has anyone ever had an issue where this widget works as expected in 1 browser, but not another? The widget works fine in Chrome, but I get an Out of Memory error in Internet Explorer 11.
