Hi dear colleagues,
I would like to know your opinion on the following matter. Actually, I would like to hear someone from ESRI's opinion as well. 🙂
I developed a Silverlight app for a client. They requested a query builder functionality, so I use the Silverlight viewer as a point of reference. Well, I thought I could incorporate handling of subtype and domain values... so I did.
It turns out that at last moment (final revision of the product), they referred to the functionality as "useless" (I quote) because it didn't have the "Show unique values" option for every attribute.
Well, I did explain the reasons why I didn't include it: I'm not developing ArcMap for web, a user could end up bringing too many thousands of values over the web (despite being in intranet), etc...
Let's put aside the complexity of the work required, because what bothers me is the "useless" part, and that they are asking for a bunch of new features or different functionality than what they had approved some months before, during analysis phase.
So, what would you guys say about it? Is the Silverlight-viewer filter tool really useless without the "show unique values"?
Cheers,
Orlando
