Hi there,
I'm sure others have come across this. Not sure if most Workforce Admins are populating their assignments by FME or the Python API, which would easily solve this.
I want our data created in the Workforce web app interface to eventually populate a dashboard. I'm unable to add filters for the AssignmentType and WorkerID field. I think because they are GUIDs. I've also added them into a table, but they show as GUIDs, not text, which is not useful for the end user, which isn't me. Is there any easy way to change this?
Some ideas I've thought of are:
Just wondering how everyone else is getting around this, if there's best practice for this or if there's an obvious way I'm missing. I'm still working on my first Workforce project.
Hi, I too have had this problem and still cannot determine whether there is an easy way around it. Like you, our end users really need to see the full AssignmentType name, rather than the GUID.
I have worked out how to use Survey123 Connect to reference a separate table which contains both the GUID and Name for each assignment type - but I have over 50 assignment types, which may be replaced or updated, so this isn't really a long-term solution. This also doesn't solve the Dashboard display problem.
I would love to see if you get any better solutions here!

For visualization in a dashboard in ArcGIS Online, you can use this script to create a joined view layer that combines the assignments, types, workers, and dispatchers into a single non-editable layer. This layer can be used in a dashboard for filtering and visualization.
