Layer not showing up in Attribute Table widget

Heather_Hegi — Tue, 22 Dec 2015 18:57:18 GMT

I have an issue with a layer not showing up when I add the Attribute Table widget in Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS. It's a shapefile layer that I manually update periodically thus breaking the functionality of the Attribute Table widget, but that hasn't been a problem until now. Last time I updated it, November 2nd, all I had to do was remove the widget and add it back to configure it how I wanted it. This time, however, when I went to add it back, this layer that I just updated just will not show up on the list of layers I can feature in the Attribute Table. Is there a fix for this?

Hi,

Create a new app, it will show up. You can then go into the app\##\configs\AttributeTable\config_Attribute Table.json...

you should see a new ID for that layer. GO back to the original app file find that layer name and update it with the new ID.

I dont see why this would break the service though, unless you have schemaLocked = True on the arcgis Service. Or the schema changed...

But then I should be asking important questions, such as ... is this Web app developer or Web app in ArcGIS Online.?

I'm using Web app in ArcGIS Online.

Two places I would like to know if the shapefile layer appears in your WAB:

Is the check mark enabled?

On the layer list options, is the option "Open Attribute Table" available and can you click on it and let me know what occurs?

In the Web Mapping Application, the layer "Development" will not show up when I try to configure the attribute table.

This layer is turned on in the map. This is what it looks like in the Web Map that feeds the application, and the table is accessible.

Is there somewhere else I need to make sure that the "Development" layer is check marked?

Is the "Development" layer a hosted or published feature service? If not, is it a map service?

Can you try to reload the web map in the web application by choosing the same web map? Is the web map saved?

Additionally, I have seen this issue occur for mixed content. Is your layer http or https? and incidentally, is the URL to the application: HTTP or HTTPS?

...I just created a fresh Web Mapping Application for trouble-shooting and found that same layer list options as in your screenshot. The Development layer is turned on, it lets me view the table, but the Development layer still won't show up on the Configure Attribute Table page.

The "Development" layer is an uploaded shapefile, so hosted. In troubleshooting I took the extra step to "Save Layer", but that didn't do anything. I have certainly been saving the Web Map, and reloading the map doesn't fix the problem. Every page I go to features the "https".

Can you right click anywhere on the map and choose "Inspect" under the options to open up a bar on your right or below the screen. Choose "Console" and can you take a screenshot of the errors that appear"?

I think what we might be seeing here is this following error:

BUG-000090994 - After updating a web map, the Attribute Table widget in Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS is not updated. (Currently assigned).

How does one resolve this error?

Sorry for the delay in my response, Heather. I performed your workflow and it seems like it works properly on the data that I have. I updated the data and the web appbuilder picks up the new feature layer without having to remove or modify the attribute table widget. Which brings me to the question of what data causes this issue. So can you give me some idea on what are some of the properties and fields set on your data? Does it have coded values and domains?

Aravind,

The OP is using a hosted shapefile (no domains in shapefiles). Did you attempt to host a shapefile and update the hosted shapefile?

Re: Layer not showing up in Attribute Table widget

Yes! I have a country.shp file that I published as a hosted feature service from Desktop to ArcGIS Online. Used it in an ArcGIS Online web map and then built a web app from the map. I went back to the source data on ArcMap, deleted a country and then overwrote the service to ArcGIS Online. When i refreshed/reopened the web app again, i found that the country was deleted and the Attribute table opens and I can click on the "Configure Attribute Table" to see that it still has that shapefile as a layer to be visible or invisible.

I need to learn how to host the shapefile properly, is there a good how to document on this? I know there's a way to host a shapefile / service on ArcGIS Online where you can overwrite it. I had spent a little bit of time trying to figure out how to do this but the process I had going didn't hamper me much so I didn't dedicate enough time to figure it out. I have simply been adding layer from file in the Web Map each time.

Heather, here are some following documentation on what you have requested:

1. To publish CSVs, Shapefiles or GeoJSON file formats:

Publish features—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS

2. To publish shapefiles or file geodatabases or any of the above mentioned formats from Desktop to Online:

Publish a hosted feature service from ArcGIS for Desktop | ArcGIS Video

Please let me know if you would like to know anything else.

Thanks,

Aravind
