Remove Label layer from Layer List?

Lars_ElmkærChwastek — Tue, 14 Jul 2015 13:18:33 GMT

Hi Guys,

I have a web map with a few layers, one on which I have enabled labels. I have then created an app with Web Appbuilder Developer Edition (WAB), based on this web map. My issue is then, that in the layer list in the WAB, the labels are added as an individual layer. I don't want that to be visible for the users. They have to be able to see the labels in the map itself of course, but not in the layer list.

So I found this other thread:

https://community.esri.com/thread/126201

which says that you can remove layers in the WAB from the layer list by their ID (from the web map's JSON). But the label layer is not added as a layer in the web map, and is therefore not to be found in the web map's JSON.

Has anyone come across this issue before?

P.S. The funny thing is that in the online version of the WAB, labels are not added to the layer list....!

Thanks

Lars

Lars,

Strange that you mention the label layer is not part of the webmap json but is listed in the LayerList widget. I have not seen that.

This is the difference between the WAB Dev. Edition. and the web map in ArcGIS Online: An added layer called Labels...

Lars,

OK, so when you say that it does not appear in the WebMap json you are not really talking about the JSON of the webmap like June in the other thread told you about how to get to.

Robert,

Ok I can see how my last entry can be misleading, but yes I am also talking about the JSON. The images was just to support my original question. I could paste the JSON in as well, but it would take up a whole lot of space! 🙂

Lars,

OK, sorry for the misunderstanding. The WAB developer version 1.2 will be available in the first week of August (that version will be the same as the July update of AGOL) and will hopefully address the issue you are seeing.

Hi Lars,

This issue was just addressed in the July update of WAB (Online version). And the fix will also be available in the Developer Edition 1.2 (August). Sorry for the inconvenience.
