Polling place details error

JustinNettleton — Fri, 26 Jul 2013 19:28:15 GMT

I am getting the Polling places web going but I am having a problem when I search address. It finds the address no problem, but as soon as it finds it, I get an error box that states "There are no designated polling place details available for this location." There is also no route credited to the polling place as well.

The polling place layer is showing up on map and I think all attributes are correct. I am missing something simple?

Thanks,

Hi Justin,

The app displays that message when it finds no precincts at the address' point in the PrecinctLayer service or a webmap's precinct operational layer. And this stops the processing, so no route is generated.

In order to make webmaps easier to use, the app makes the crucial assumption that polygonal layers that have a popup are tested for elected officials data; the layer without a popup is used for precinct boundaries. If you're using a webmap and all layers have a popup, I believe that this would prevent the app from identifying the precinct layer.

Regards,
Mike

Mike,
I actually figured out the issue and it was some of my relate tables for the polling places were not properly populated. Made the change to the field the relation is joined on and now it works.

Thanks for the response though.
