Question about editwidget

DanielLewis — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 09:00:55 GMT

Is this possible with the editwidget or some other widget: Allow users via the webviewer to click on a feature in a featurelayer and have a popup show the value for a particular field for that featuer and allow the user to edit that value (from a dropdown of selections)? I don't see how to do this. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, that is possible with the Edit widget. Your data needs to be coming from an ArcGIS Server Feature Service (and be editable).

Is there a walk-through example of creating template? I only have one attribute I want to be updatable (click on the existing feature and have a drop down selection of 1,2,3 or 4), no drawing/adding features.

Also, I read in another post that the feature layer should be a mxd, not a msd. Is this correct?

Thanks,

Wayne

Wayne/Davis,
The ArcGIS Desktop help have more information on Editing
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/What_is_editing/01m500000003000000/
And creating feature services (including a link to a tutorial):
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/What_is_a_feature_service/0154000002w8000000/

The part about only allowing people to update, not add/delete, is a functionality you can either set up in the service, or in the Flex Viewer.

You might want to look at using a Domain on the dataset. That will allow you to click/select the feature with the edit widget and the attribute window pops up. If you have a domain, there is a dropdown list with the available values.

If you un-check all the other fields in the mxd (not including OBJECTID and Shape), then only the "desired" field will even be available to edit.

Thanks to all for your pointers and links. I've read through them, and this is what I have right now. At this point, I can't get anything to display in the edit widget, and I'm assuming I should see the template I setup in arcmap.

In the rest services, I see (extra lines removed):

Well, I don't work with secure services, so can't really do much testing.

Curious, if you make the change below, do you actually see your features on the map? That would be the first place, if you can't see it, it's probably not loading properly.

<operationallayers>
  
<layer label="XYZ Test of Edit" type="dynamic" visible="false" alpha="1.0" url="https://url.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/XYZ/FeatureServer"/> 
<layer label="Editable Features" type="feature" visible="true"
info="widgets/InfoTemplates/SimpleInfoWinWidget.swf"
infoconfig="widgets/InfoTemplates/test.xml"
url="https://url.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/XYZ/FeatureServer/0"/> 
</operationallayers>

Also, you may need to delete/re-publish your service, or try it with a different name as you say you created the templates, but I don't see them in your REST services. Here is the info for a line layer that I have that works in the edit widget. Notice the Templates: section which is missing from yours.

And when I enable the feature service in the layers widget, I do see it in the viewer. But when I open the edit widget, the template is not shown.

Got it! I was ignoring this line:
