Hi Kate,
I will keep trying to figure it out, and maybe someone seeing our discussion will have an answer as well. I did create another CrowdSource app several months ago, and managed to get my city municipal boundary layer (as an uneditable polygon layer) established in it. How I did this I do not remember! I added the boundary feature service to the only Web map I had in this app, added the name of the service in the config field, and this seemed to work. If I clicked on a location outside of the boundary, I received a message saying the ‘feature cannot be added outside of study area,’ so I did manage to get it to work. I thought I had some notes written on what I did, but alas I am not finding anything.
With the current Citizen Problem Reporter app, I am including four of the available web maps (Water/Sewer Problems, Road Problems, Trash Problems and Snow/Ice Problems). I am using the feature layers as is, no changes to fields or domains for now. I added the municipal boundary to the Water/Sewer web map, but it only shows in the app when that Problem tab is selected. And then it does not prevent me from adding a point outside of the city boundary. I hope we don’t want to have to add the city boundary to every web map used.
Also, do you know how the various Citizen Problem Reporter web maps are included in the app? I thought maybe there was a list in the Reporter config tool where one simply selects the web maps to include? For now, I manage the maps by adjusting the sharing property. Web maps are shared to Everyone, but the app and feature layers are Group shared. The web maps I am not using are shared to the Organization, and therefore do not show in the app.
We should not have to spend hours or a month trying to figure out how to develop and configure these wonderful Esri Solutions. Esri’s online help is great, but we could use more “user example” instructions, e.g., what exactly is entered into the “Name of the uneditable polygon layer” field in the Form tab of the config tool. I tried adding a simple feature layer name and the full URL to the service, nope.
Thanks for your reply, I intend to review your FAQs again.
Sincerely,
Jay
