Arcade Labeling

Anonymous User — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 16:55:53 GMT

I am creating a label expression in Pro using Arcade. Are there any tags or functions in arcade to make part of the label text bold?

Looking for something similar to the <BOL>[Field1]</BOL> tags that are available in VBscript.

Thank you

You can use something similar in Arcade:

"<BOL>" + $feature.Field1 + "</BOL>"‍

Is this possible in ArcGIS Online as well? I just tried it and it doesn't seem like it works, but perhaps I'm missing something.

In ArcGIS Online you cannot use these codes. You can style the pop-up using custom HTML instead of normal fields display.

Xander,

Do you know if using these codes will be possible in AGOL in the future? I am currently using an arcade expression in a webmap popup configuration to return a number of fields from a related table based on this post, and I would like to be able to format (bold, in this case) the values from one of the returned fields. Since there are multiple fields being returned, I am not aware of a way to style it using custom HTML in a way that would only apply to one of the fields.

Thanks,

Lindsay

Hi Lindsay King ,

I assume that the HTML formatting that can be used in ArcGIS Pro, will also be possible in AGOL, since it does not make sense that this formatting disappears when you publish it to AGOL. I do not know when this will be available. There is a big update of the web map coming very soon, but it might not include this feature yet.

You can format the pop-up applying colors, but this will probably require multiple expressions. Can you provide a visual example of what you want to achieve?
