How to Customise a Interactively draw on the map Feature in Web AppBuilder

SushilPradhan — Mon, 07 Sep 2020 15:23:37 GMT

Hi All,

I have a custom widget (GP Task) in Web AppBuilder which uses Interactively Draw on the Map feature, as shown below, to select a location on the map. I am looking to customise this tool as below:

1. Since this widget is only relevant for a LOCATION (point), i want to hide other drawing features such as line, polygons, rectangles, etc.

2. At the moment, users can add multiple points on the map, but how can I restrict it to only SINGLE point at a time?

It sounds simple but couldn't figure out the way doing it. I would appreciate if anyone can enlighten me on this please.

Many thanks in advance.

Sushil

You might find if you add a template schema (point feature class) to your input parameter on the tool before publishing, it should limit the options to point (also try the smart edit widget first, as it might have better customisation without having to resort to this).

I'd also like to know how to limit it to one point only.

Hi David,

Thanks. I used a point feature class as an input parameter before publishing, but it's the same result. I am wondering if anyone has any experience or knowledge about this.

Thanks in advance.

I'd set the parameter as FeatureSet and apply a point FC's schema to it.
