Make XY Event Layer available in WebApp Builder

[OmolaraKareem]

I am trying to provide my users with a tool that will let them upload .xls and/or .csv files containing xy coordinate data from their systems (desktop, network drive, thumb drive, etc), perform a process and map the result as a point layer. Please view the attached pdf which illustrates what I have tried and failed at (i.e. creating a geoprocessing tool and publishing as a service). I am definitely doing something wrong. Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Note: This tool will be incorporated into Portal for ArcGIS WebApp Builder. I am aware that coordinates can be mapped in Portal for ArcGIS, however it only accepts lat/long. We work with UTM and I will not want to pass the headache of always converting to lat/long before mapping to my users or take on the burden myself.

I look forward to any help.

Jake, I've created a model that mimics yours as well as publishing it as a service with "Uploads" enabled. However, when I go to use the service in a WAB application the Upload button does not appear, any thoughts? Is this feature allowed via AGOL-hosted Web Apps or is it limited to Portal?

Thanks, this thread has been extremely helpful!

Hi Alec,

When you were configuring the widget did you specify the 'Upload file' option for the input?

[AlecMarshall1]

Oddly enough the "Upload file" option does not appear for me. Perhaps an issue with my model? I notice that my "Type" field under the Input is listed as "GPRecordSet" while yours is "GPDataFile".

Can you send a screen shot of your model?

Additionally, the data type for my XY Table parameter is set as "Table" \

I would try starting over by re-running your model, and then re-publishing the GP service.  It's strange that it's stating a GPRecordSet rather than a GPDataTable.
