We are currently running version 11.3 while working in portal. I’ve been trying to configure a data expression in Dashboards with no luck. It turns out I believe that although we are in 11.3 our setup is still using Classic Dashboards. The number one clue is that there is no ADD DATA icon. All I see in the left pane is the following in this exact order.

  • Add element
  • View
  • Theme
  • Time and Region
  • Save

Attached you will find a basic image of a new freshly created Dashboard showing there is no ADD DATA icon (DashboardScreenshot.png). Can someone possibly tell me how we can get the new version of Dashboards added to the App Launcher (9 dots)?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Ken,

Would you know the possible reason I’m still getting the black error triangle under the Select a layer option (Data expressions —> New data expression) of my List widget? I changed the portal URL and the item ID, but yet it still shows that black triangle with the exclamation mark in the center of it. I feel like I’m missing something. Because it worked perfectly on the data you created.

First, check all the field names. I may have overlooked changing one back to your schema.

Click the Run button in the Arcade editor to see if it's returning a FeatureSet.

Add some Console messages to see what the code is doing a various intervals. This should help you figure out what's going wrong.

This is great info. I will definitely do that and I’ll post later on what the outcome was. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all of the assistance and knowledge you’ve provided.

Hey Ken, sorry for the long delay. It’s been a process of trial and error, but for the most part your solution is the one that I’m going to choose as the correct answer. It took a little bit of tweaking on my side with field names and dealing with null values it was trying to sort. But I finally got the script to run. Now my only issue is when I save the expression and go back to that main list widget page where you choose your source I am still getting a black triangle error, but I will attempt to remediate that next week. Thanks for all of your help and expertise on this. It is greatly appreciated!!!

There is no "Add data" button on the left pane of the current AGOL Dashboard. It does have an "Analytics" button.

Are you thinking of Experience Builder or Web AppBuilder with their "Add Data" buttons?

So I won’t enter the same text twice, please see the reply above. It explains why I assumed there is supposed to be an add data button on Dashboards.
