Is there a way to search by layer

Good morning,

I can do a search by address. Is there a way to search by layer, entering a project number?

Thanks

You can search by any attribute in a layer through the search widget in EXB. As far as in the web editor I don't see a way to do that. Maybe someone else can add more there.

There is a feature on ArcGIS Web Editor that was requested by our editors. The copy/paste between FCs.

To add the ability to search by layer, open the web map's item page. In the Settings tab, go to the Web Map section and under Application Settings, check the By Layer option. Add the layer you want to search and select its field.

Hi @SanchezNuñez,

Yes, you can search by layer. You will need to configure search by layer in the web map settings. Then when you open the map in Web Editor you should be able to search by layer. That involves selecting the layer from the drop down in the search menu and entering an attribute value, such as the project id. Keep in mind that in order for a field to be searchable, the field type must be either text or integer.

Documentation for configuring feature search in the map can be found here: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/create-maps/configure-feature-search.htm

Hope that helps!

@EmilyGeo

Why does the search option keep the ArcGIS World Geocoding Service even if it's turned off in the web map settings?

@KenBuja

The ability to search for addresses in the map is supported by default in Map Viewer, Map Viewer Classic, and most apps, regardless of whether By Address is selected. For some ArcGIS apps, searching by address can be disabled by unchecking the By Address check box. To determine whether disabling the By Address search option is supported in a specific ArcGIS app, you can refer to the app documentation.

Thanks!
