Launch and zoom to a particular feature or coordinate

[GregSnelling]

Does anyone have a way to open the flex viewer and have it automatically search and zoom to a feature?  I'd like our IT staff to be able to launch our flex viewer from a property details web page and zoom to the subject parcel.  Any ideas?

Greg,

   Sure this ability is part of the eSearch. Url searches is covered in the Enhanced Search Widget URL Search Configuration.pdf.

Thanks for the quick response Robert! I'll have a look at the documentation.

Robert,

Have you been able to get the widget to pass the url parameters through (past login) to a secured service?

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Derek,

   I have not tested a secure service search using eSearch but I will and let you know the results.

[DerekHunter1]

Thanks as always Robert.

Derek,

   I just tested with a secure service and it woks fine after you log in (it completes the url search after login).

Thanks Robert.  My issue was I am using a config named other the config.xml......./index.html?config=url_search_parameter_test.xml?esearch=CN-A&slayer=0&exprnum=0&showdatagrid=true.  I assume the eseach parameter can't be preceded by any other paramter?

Derek,

  If you already have a url parameter in the url then you just use the & symbol not the ?

So here is how it works, the FIRST url parameter gets a ? and all subsequent parameters get a &

./index.html?config=url_search_parameter_test.xml&esearch=CN-A&slayer=0&exprnum=0&showdatagrid=true.
