updating a feature layer view

SLouq — Thu, 17 Aug 2023 18:05:25 GMT

I am trying to use the Capital Projects Tracking dashboard to monitor the status of projects. I am using all the HFL and HFLV that comes with the dashboard when you deploy it. I am trying to add a field to Capital Projects feature layer view and am having no luck in finding a way to do this. The Capital Projects feature layer view is reading Infrastructure_allfundedprojects hosted feature layer view and that HFLV is reading the Infrastructure Projects Hosted feature layer. I can add the field I want to the Hosted feature layer in AGOL no problem but when I follow the online instructions for updating the associated HFLV, it isn't updating. Can someone tell me or point me in the right direction for getting the added field to show in the allfundedprojects and Capital Projects hosted Feature Layer View?

Hello,

You may need to update your view(s). You can do so by going into the 'Settings' tab of the view layer and clicking on 'Update View":

This will take you to the "Update View" window. Please check the "Filter" and ensure that the new fields are not filtered out. Click "Update" to save the changes.

Thanks for the reply.

After plenty of digging, I may have just figured out how to do it. But that is taking me into new territory and new questions.

The new fields were there but were not selected. I had to click on Select Field and select them

I have another question

Right now, I have an indicator element displaying the total number of projects. If I want to display only the number of projects listed in a List Element, how can I do this?

I don't think there is a straight forward way of linking the list element with the indicator element, but you can create a field within the layer to indicate which projects can be counted by the indicator element and which ones cannot. For example, I made a field (named Field 2) and used '1' for projects I'd like to count and '0' for projects that I don't want to count. Then, I used a filter within the settings of each element:

Of course, if you already have a field that can filter records, you do not need to create a new one.

Alternatively, if you want your indicator element to change with the selections within the list element, you can go into List element configure > Actions > Selection Mode: Multiple > Filter > Toggle on Indicator. This will update the indicator depending on how many projects are selected within your list.

Another way List and Indicator elements can interact with one another is to group them. You can do this by holding the "shift" key down when dragging/dropping elements. This is good for when you have multiple lists to tab through, and you want the indicator to change with the list.

Can you explain to me how the Phase table in the Capital Projects dashboard works? How is it linked to the Capital Projects table to show what the phase of the project is?

I was trying to figure out how to add some more attributes to the details element which contains the phase section and in doing so I must have moved or deleted the link for the Phase section because it is not updating anymore. If you look at the little snip I did of the pop up, you can see it is shifted over a little from the rest. I am assuming I shifted the table while trying to add other attributes and that is why it isn't working anymore.

Hello,

Project Phase is a field within Capital Projects layer view (not a separate table/layer). This article here may help to troubleshoot the update issue: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-solutions/11.0/reference/configure-capital-project-tracking.htm#:~:text=Update%20project%20attributes

A good start would be to ensure the Project Phase field has not been deleted, and that all the appropriate records are set to PreDesign, Design, Construction, or Closeout.

I know Infrastructure Projects is the Hosted Feature Layer that gets updated and Capital Projects is a layer view which is used by the Capital Projects dashboard. I checked and Project Phase is not deleted. I've been trying to familiarize myself with how to configure all the elements within the dashboard. I finally figured out how to edit the pop up in the web map and while trying to add two fields to the Project Details element, I may have shifted the table that contains Predesign, Design, Construction and Closeout phase in it and now it doesn't highlight the table cell in the dashboard like it was. That's the issue I am facing now.

Figured out the problem, the attribute expressions are not updating, but I still don't know why they are not updating.

Still trying to figure this issue out.

I am in the configure pop up editor for the Capital Projects dashboard web map and am trying to get the Project Phase to Highlight the current phase of the project specified in the Infrastructure Projects Hosted Feature Layer.

Right now it is not highlighting any phase of the project even though it has a phase specified in the Infrastructure Projects Hosted Feature Layer. I found the attribute expressions and it looks like each phase has an Arcade expression which determine which phase gets highlighted, but it looks like the table cell is not reading the attribute expressions. This is where I am stuck at. Could you help me with this or point me in the right direction?
