Define Label Class based on location/geometry

JustinLutterman — Tue, 03 May 2016 14:18:52 GMT

I work for local goverment in a rural setting. The majority of our land is farm ground. I was wondering if it woudl be possible to switch a label class based on an area that is defined in a map (or based off of a polygon).

Example:
If i am zoom into an area that comprises of mostly farm ground, then the label class (that i set up) would automatically choose "Ag land".
If i moved to a municipal area, then it would automatically switch to the "Municiple" Lable Class.

Location enabled as opposed to only controlled by attribute.

Hi Justin Lutterman‌ I came across this idea when doing some research into labeling - have you checked out label classes and filters in Map Viewer Beta? The combination of these two capabilities may give you what you're looking for in ArcGIS Online: Highly requested features are now available in Map Viewer Beta. Let me know any feedback on these features,

I think this is a good idea but with a twist; when using circles (buffers) or areas with radial symmetry, it would be nice to have an arc-aligned label. Something that wouldn't always default to the polygon centroid. The Draw widget is another location where arc-aligned labels would be helpful. Radial labels (not so much a dimension) that allow user value input (override of the default unit measure) would be super helpful as well. Just my $.02
