Sidebar app - Support editing/adding related records
The new "Sidebar" Instant App brings a new and simplified web editing experience, especially for our users who are not frequent users of GIS tools. My team and I are excited to switch some of our editing apps over to this. As always though, an enhancement request 🙂
A common request I see during the UC, Esri Community, and in our organization is an increasing need for ways to interact with, view, and edit related tables in a web environment. For us, this is especially true as we continue to deploy Field Maps, which make use of related tables for 1 to many things like assets to inspections.
A common question from our Field Maps users is... how do I view or make changes back in the office after collecting these inspections in the field? Presently, the only way that I know of which supports both editing and adding related records in a web environment is via the Smart Editor widget in WAB, or by using the Crowdsource Manager configurable app (but which is otherwise very limited in functionality).
I think the new Sidebar Instant App presents a great opportunity to add this functionality to the current set of Edit tools.
Example I made in Paint...
Thank you!
Hey Everyone,
-UPDATE-
I did a little more digging and found this video: https://youtu.be/oZV8M1P6Z2Q
It appears related table editing this is supported in the Sidebar Instant app (not sure about others) for "Hosted Services" (not referenced services- we have an issue with this) and is configured through the Map Viewer's form builder.
The workflow from the video-
Let me know if this works for your orgs!
Best,
