Workforce - adding details to ID and Notes fields from Feature Class

[NRARAdmin]

Hi,

We have a workforce project, where dispatchers create assignments from a feature class within the dispatcher map. We have configured this using the pop-up so the location field is populated with relevant location info, but we'd like to populate the ID and Note Fields from other attributes in this same feature class.

I believe that this is possible using a python Notebook, but haven't been able to find any details or examples of this being done. Is this possible and does anyone have any example scripts?

Many Thanks

Hi @NRARAdmin this is definitely possible. We have a sample notebook which includes a section on creating assignments from feature layers.

You'll just need to modify this section to set the values you'd like:

crosswalk_assignments = []
for _, row in crosswalks_df.iterrows():
    crosswalk_assignments.append(
        workforce.Assignment(
            project,
            geometry=row["SHAPE"],
            location=row["location"],
            description=row["description"],
            priority=int(row["priority"]),
            assignment_type="Paint Crosswalk",
            status="unassigned"
        )
    )

You can find documentation about the Assignment class here.
