WAB - Query Results - Redundant information

ThomasSteudel1 — Fri, 17 Feb 2017 09:19:18 GMT

Hi GeoNet Community,

i have a question concerning the WAB-Builder and the presentation of results of the Query-Widget.

Presently i am configuring a webapp which includes restaurants within a defined region. The restaurants offer different food so the user should have the opportunity to "filter" or "query" the restaurants by "type of food (e.g. Chineese, Turkish, Greek etc.).

So i configured a the query widget.

Now my problem:

If i query the layer, i always have the original layer (which is already there, when opening the WebApp).

But in my query results, i do not need the "base layer". I only want to see the layer with the query results (the same with the POPUPS).

I also tried the same with the "filter" widget. Without any success.

Here is the link to the WebApp:

ArcGIS Web Application

Do you know a way (firstly without programming) to solve this? I only want to see the result of the query and not the layer which was configured in the webmap.

Thank you very much,

kind regards,

Thomas

Thomas,

The Query widget does not care if the layer is already added to the map or not as it creates a new layer based on the results of the query. So the redundant data is by design. If you want to have a query change the existing layer then that is what the Filter widget is designed for. So that leads to the question, what do you mean by:

I also tried the same with the "filter" widget. Without any success.

Hello Robert,

maybe i forgot to mention something and what i mean "without any success". I did not use the "Filter Widget" because my resulting "query" layer should have flags as object icons. So within the "Query widget" i can configure the layer symbols for my resulting query objects. Unfortunately this is not possible within the Filter Widget. Is there a way, to get the result layer (filter widget) with a defined symbol? In my case country flags etc....

Thanks and beste regards,

Thomas

Thomas,

Then what you are wanting is not available out of the box.
