How to have interactive filters (with drop down) and legend on web app in ArcGIS Online?

[HrishirajBhattacharjee1]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this forum and also on ArcGIS Online. I am trying to develop a basic webapp using ArcGIS Online where there should be an interactive filter plus also the legend. But I am facing the following problems:

1. Problems with interactive filters: While I am able to get filters in the webapp, the problem is that the user needs to manually enter the values to the filter. Is there any way in which this could be made into a drop down list?

I know this question has been raised a few times in this community, but none of the discussions had any resolution - at least not one that I am aware of.

2. Cant get legends with interactive filters in webapp: The existing templates for creating web apps dont have both filters and legends in the same template. Is there any way in which I can get both interactive filters and legends on the same web app. This functionality is extremely important for my purpose.

Thanking you in advance.

Regards,

Hrishiraj.

I am also having a problem with interactive filters...I have successfully created an interactive filter with one field from a feature layer but have been unsuccessful with every other field and or feature layer I try.

I just spoke with Esri Technical Support and we determined that the interactive drop-down list will only work with fields that have been published with a domain class.

Kyle,

Did the interactive drop-down lists work once you created the domain classes?  I haven't found any documentation from ESRI on this yet.

I wonder when ESRI Support going to point this out in the help section.  It would save a lot of searching and headaches.

Correct...I just went back to the documentation and did not see anything either.

This is now included in the considerations for filters:

Hi,

I'm having the same issue with the dropdown list. What do you mean by fields that have been published with a domain class?

Thanks,

Céline

Before publishing your feature service the fields you want to participate in your filtering drop down list must be setup using attribute domains.

Thanks for your reply, Kyle.

Does it mean I necessarily have to do this with ArcMap Desktop or is it possible to handle this in Arcgis online?

I was simply working with .csv files until now.

Yes, you will need to create a feature class with Desktop, add the attribute domains, and then publish to ArcGIS Online from ArcMap.
