I'd like to see the same option to enable popups on vector tiles that is available on tile layers. Currently if you're using a traditional cache tiled layer you can select a sublayer and enable popups by pointing it to an equivalent feature service. The same should be available on vector tiles.

Currently there is a large functionality gap in ArcGIS Online:

Dynamic data with low feature count  = Feature Layer

Static data with high feature count = Tiled Layer

Dynamic data with high feature count = ?

This is the role previously used by dynamic map services, however those are only available via an internal ArcGIS Server. Hosted vector tiles work perfectly for this and perform incredibly well, but without the popup functionality they're basically alternative basemaps instead of useful operational layers.

Thanks

It's been 7 years since I posted this, I've changed role twice in that time and still see a steady drip feed of replies, that's really poor from ESRI.

This functionality is still really needed but not yet implemented: access to attributes and pop-ups for the layers within a vector cache.

Hi @KellyGerrow  🙂   (added: it looks like all esri staff who have commented in these conversations may no longer be around, hopefully it gets seen as its would be so useful a feature to have)

 

 

Do know if there has been any more progress on this idea/request for Vector Tile Popups? (specifically setting things up for AGOL and/or Portal webmaps) 

I would love to leverage Vector Tiles for some larger layers but am trying to avoid double handling the publishing just to enable custom popups

 

Thanks
