group filter more than one

YoavRappaport — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 21:56:01 GMT

I'd like to use more than one group filter at a time. That way the user can go down the list of filters picking the criteria one fields at a time. I know this can be done in the regular filter, but I need the group filter so that it will operate on more than one layer at a time. Any suggestions or OOTB tool that will do that?

Yoav, I believe you are working on web app developer edition

Make a copy of group filter folder and paste it on different location and rename it GroupFilter2 or any other name.
Also, change the name of all other widget files those have the name GroupFilter.
Put this renamed folder GroupFilter2 back to the widgets folder, now you can access it in your app.

path is here:

WebAppBuilderForArcGIS\client\stemapp\widgets\GroupFilter

Let me know how it is working.

Thank you for the suggestion. I wanted to know if there was a non dev way of doing it. I don't think it is possible.

No, you cannot do it on nondev version.

So if we are working in WAB Dev edition, we can use two group filters if we follow the outline workflow?

Has anyone tried it?

Good morning,

This is not working. I know this is old, I am using 2.8 now and when I do copy the GroupFilter folder to a new location within our server and rename it, it still affects the original GroupFilter.

I created a new folder with all the original code of GroupFilter. I renamed it FireFilter. I changed the manifest file code to the new folder name. I have modified the widget to do what I need, but for whatever reason, when I add the original GroupFilter widget to work along with the new FireFilter, they mess each other up. The configurations gets corrupted depending on which widget you used first.

If I open Group Filter and set a filter, then open the Fire Filter, the Fire Filter settings are gone. The same if I do the reverse.

What am I missing that both filters are seeing that is corrupting each other?

Thanks
