Creating links between main frame to specific section

[NoamEzioni1]

I am using the Journal template that shows webmap with lines featrue on it - on the "main" frame. I am looking for a way to link between a each line feature in the webmap, to a "section" in the side-frame. Is there a way? I tried to use Ancors in  - its not working... any ideas?

thanks,

Noam

Click the edit icon (the pencil).

Click on the Side Panel tab.

Select the text you want to create a link to the main map.

Click on Locate an address or place (in the Main Map Actions area) --- looks like a push pin.

A map will then pop up and you can click on the place (say a road) that you want the text to be related to.

Thanks. Elliott, But I am looking or the other way around.

let me start from the end: I want to make the right "section" in the table of content to show up when I click on a feature (a line, point or polygon) on the map. for example: lets say that the journal is all about sight in the city. Each site represented with a point on the map and a section ib the TOC. when I click a site - the TOC will show the related section.

Hope I got myself clear this time...

Thank you

Hi,

Yes this is doable, see that example: http://www.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/?appid=d3fff6acdf5e4b08a82d99f07f20ddfb

Map Journal has an API that allows developer to navigate between sections. See that documentation for the procedure Esri/map-journal-storytelling-template-js · GitHub

This message has been edited to reflect a new procedure for creating those links in April 2015. The previous procedure does not work anymore.

Hi Gregory,

Thank you for your detailed reply.

can you please tell me how can I implement your suggestion? I tried but... keep getting error messages When I try to write the syntax to a field in the layer...

thanks

You are welcome.

What are you using to edit the layer? For sure you can't do it in ArcGIS Online. My example was done using a CSV with excel and dropped in the webmap.

[NoamEzioni1]

I tried with the field calaulator in ArcGIS desktop because the layer is a line feature one and not points.

Sorry I don't know ArcGIS Desktop much and won't be able to help you diagnose more.

Would it be possible to create a CSV in Excel with the feature ID and the attribute that contains the special links and do a join in ArcGIS Desktop?

We are planning to document this thoroughly later this year.

[NoamEzioni1]

I'll Try that and get back here to tell...

Well, Gregory,

I seems that there is no way to do what I wanted. at least not any way I Tried.

Thank you for your help!!

But still another "sub" question: Is there any way to link from some other site to a specific sector?

all the best,

Noam
