Darn, I'd hoped there might have been a way to do this with simple line features to avoid the process of creating a network. Thank you, though! ... View more

Wasn't it already converted to string on line 17, though? I don't "speak" Python at all, so I'm sorry if I don't grasp the concept. Anyway, there were a couple of commands in @RandyBurton 's answer that I did not have in my original code, but once I included those, it worked. Thanks for your time and effort helping me out! ...

Thank you for your help! @RandyBurton had a line in his solution code that worked for me. I was using this code in the Python window via ArcMap 10.8.1 and wanted to avoid creating a new layer (in memory or otherwise) in the TOC. I'm also not very proficient at Python so I apologize if my question or replies don't make sense. Thanks again! ... View more

Yes, that worked! Thank you so much! Haven't set it up to iterate yet, but for anyone else who comes across this, here is my updated code that worked for my situation: mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT") df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, '')[0] for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd): if lyr.name == "Crossings": Point = lyr if lyr.name == "Current School District Boundaries": Polygon = lyr arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(Point, "WITHIN_A_DISTANCE", Polygon, "150 Feet", "NEW_SELECTION") pointList = [] with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(Point,['OBJECTID']) as cursor: for row in cursor: pointList.append(str(row[0])) defQuery = "Purpose = 1 AND OBJECTID IN ({})".format(",".join(pointList)) for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd): if lyr.name == "Crossings": lyr.definitionQuery = defQuery arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(Point, "CLEAR_SELECTION") arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(Polygon, "CLEAR_SELECTION") arcpy.RefreshActiveView() arcpy.RefreshTOC() mxd.save()   ...

Definitely, thanks! This was just a small detail that was at the back of my mind. ... View more

The hyperlink method is what I'm currently using, but I was just wondering if there's a simpler way that's pre-programmed into Survey123. I'm going to assume there is not. Thank you very much for your response! ... View more

Thank you for this excellent information, @AlixVezina ! ... View more

@AlixVezina , in my position as a DOT GIS Analyst, I set up a lot of datasets in ArcMap that I then publish to AGOL for our contractors and engineers (some who have minimal GIS experience) to take over and manage autonomously both in the office and out in the field. A common method of identifying places along a road in this industry is with a Mileage Reference Marker + Displacement system, which we can derive using XY data. Unfortunately, I don’t find the existing options of getting coordinates across any of the platforms intuitive at all. It requires a lot of background setup or diving several steps into a widget to update and refresh the geometry. I would prefer a widget equivalent of right-clicking a field in ArcMap and using the Calculate Geometry tool. For example, we have inspectors go out into the field with an iPad and use ArcGIS Collector to drop points at locations where a roadway needs to be repaired. Then one of our engineers back in the office will export those points to a table using Web AppBuilder and draw up contract plans based on the collected information. After the project is completed, we have a maintenance crew navigate back out to the site and confirm its status. It would be helpful if the engineer could just click a button to fill the coordinate fields so that we could then convert them into Mileage Reference Marker + Displacement units within Web AppBuilder (we have an internal tool developed by our IT office to do this translation). That way, the maintenance crew can easily identify and revisit the area for review. I’ve used ArcGIS Pro to add GNSS fields to the dataset and then published to our server. This seems to sync well with Collector points that are dropped (it will automatically update these fields when a new point is created), but if I use Web AppBuilder to create a point then the GNSS fields aren’t populated. Going forward, I can configure the Smart Editor widget’s Attribute Actions to automatically update the GNSS fields if a new point is created within Web AppBuilder, but any existing points that were created in Web AppBuilder before I configured the Smart Editor widget won’t update, even if I Edit Geometry. I could also fall back on the Arcade option and use the Geometry function to customize an expression. This would create another field for the coordinates, though, so I’d end up with two sets of fields for Latitude/Longitude. Ultimately, I think more coordinate collection compatibility between Web AppBuilder and Collector would be great. I’m open to other solutions, as I’m sure it’s quite possible there’s an obvious answer staring me in the face! Thank you for considering this idea! ... View more
