Points symbolized based on the presence of attachments?

Leighton0 — Wed, 24 Feb 2016 21:34:54 GMT

I have a point feature with attachments enabled and the attachments are behaving as expected in the 3.6 flex application. Is there a way to symbolize this feature based on the presence of attachments? For example, an orange point for a feature with an attachment(s) and no-attachment points are blue.

Leighton,

No the presence of the attribute is only known after a special query is made to the REST endpoint for attachments. So symbolizing based on the feature having attachments is not something that can be done. Unless you have some ArcMap/GP routine that runs all the time to populate a attribute in the Feature and then you can symbolize based on that attribute.

Dear Legihton,

If you want to do that you can do one thing that is add a field suppose type text and if you have attachment for a particular feature yes if not then no.

Apart from this what you can do is write the name of the attachment.

So you can symbolize this particular field.
