When adding labeled points in the old Version and then zooming out, labels diappeared randomly. Even when zooming back in, moving the map and then zooming back out other labels diasppeared than before.

Our clients' workaround is printing out the map and adding the missing labels by hand which is a big issue for us and our clients. We've raised this before.

Runtime 100 brought the feature of auto clustering points when zooming out. But this one looses all the labels so our our clients would still have to print it out and still add missing labels by hand on the print other than seeing it straight away.

So please consider adding a label to the cluster point (which is printable), preferably auto-using all the labels of the points in this cluster.

This would add a lot of value to your product.

Thank you.

It would be extremely helpful to be able to label the cluster with a "cluster name" -- a shortened version of the labels used by each of the points -- or another simple name for map clarity.  Simply having a cluster count is very minimally helpful.

I have had an issue with this in ArcGIS Online which will give popups but does not label at all. 

I use my maps in conjunction with Dashboard and honestly some of my users will not click on the map at all which leaves them looking at a dull map especially when paired with a very impressive interface that Dashboard offers.

Adding labels may at least peak their interest so they will click on the point data to see who are represented by the clustered feature.

What I have is something like below.

What I would like to have is something like this...

Thanks so much!

I am excited to announce availability of Clustering/FeatureReduction for point Featurelayers and Graphics in ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps. The initial support to draw point features as clusters was added back in version 200.2 of ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps. In subsequent releases we highly enhanced clustering support to cover most common and popular workflows as listed below:

  • Define rendering for clusters
  • Define labels for clusters
  • Configure popups on clusters
  • Set a clustering radius
  • Add aggregate or summary fields
  • Define min/max sizes for cluster symbols
  • Set a scale threshold for clustering

Here are links to Clustering functionality released in progression over releases listed below.

To make use of full clustering support make sure you install latest version of ArcGIS Maps SDK for Native Apps on a platform of your choice and make use of this powerful feature to develop beautiful apps.
