All, I thought I would add another feature that many people have requested. The Attachment Relate Info Window Widgets' features include:    1. Ability to specify which fields are displayed    2. Specify Multiple hyperlinks that will display as a click-able text or an actual image in the info window or additional buttons at the bottom of the info window.    3. All links will have the ability to have a prefix and suffix added to them.    4. Linkalias can be defined for each link and will be used as the click-able text or the tooltip of the image or button.    5. When you specify the hyperlink you specify how you want it to appear in the info window (i.e. text, meaning click-able label, img, meaning the link is to a url of an image so a thumbnail of the image appears in the info window, or icon, meaning that a additional button is added to the bottom of the info window that when clicked opens the specified url.    6. Buttons at the bottom of the window for Zooming to feature, querying attachments, querying related features or tables.    7. Attachments are preview only and are displayed in a custom grid popup not the standard attachment inspector.    8. Relates are initially displayed in a grid that allows for the selection of which related feature you want to preview and then when you choose.    9. Multi Image support. What this does is allows you to specify a field that has comma separated image file names and optionally use a link prefix and suffix to allow for multiple images to be visible in the info window. Moving from one image to the next is controlled using simple text links ( <prev and next>). These new widget are looking awesome! Will the attachments/relate widget require a feature service or will a map service suffice? Would you be willing to add export to CSV functionality as option for the related floating datagrids? ...

Simon,    Hang tight I have one coming out next month that handles hyperlinks, displays attachments, queries and displays relates in a floating data grid. I am real happy with it and I think that it will answer a lot of what people are asking for and it does it in the manner that (I think) esri intended identifying to occur. Thank you for your reply. My users really appreciate all the quality tools that you have produced. ... View more

Sure.  Just know I didn't write it.  So can't really answer any questions in regards to the coding, just the implementation of it.  Dave Spriggs out of the ESRI - St. Charles office worked with a developer to put it together. For some reason, it's not working with the Flex 2.2 Update though.  Works fine with the Flex 2.1 version. All changes are just in the SimpleInfoWinWidget.mxml file, see below. Has anyone got this to work with 2.2? ... View more

All,    Version 2.2.1 is now released and should address all the latest reported issues. Version 2.2.1 * Fixed the issue of the color picker and alpha slider not worker for the buffer. * Rearranged the graphics layer order to put the buffer under the selected feature. * Adjusted the SearchWidget.xml so that miles is not the default in the spatial search. * Fixed issue with hyperlink grid field optional attributes like hyperlinkaliastext, linkprefix, and linksuffix   in this version you can omit hyperlinkaliastext, linkprefix, and linksuffix or set them to = "" and   it not have an adverse effect as in versions prior to 2.2.1 Thank you for responding so quickly. This widget is great has become incredibly more powerful in its latest incarnation!! Thank you! ... View more

I have just upgraded to your 2.2 version. Now the hyperlink icon does not show. However, the hyperlink field is available in the floating data grid. I chose not to add a prefix and suffix as the data owner had his hyperlinks already setup to not need them. However, when i click ont he hyperlink in the floating data grid, it add na as a prefix and NA as a suffix. e.g. nahttp://www.google.comNA Do I need to change the data so that I can define a prefix/suffix or is this an issue? I have attached my config file. ... View more

I've been modifying the Flex View for my own purposes and one of the capability i need is Editing. I added the Feature Service which has a Versioned polygon file but when i go to edit it the Editor Window is completely blank and i can't edit any data.  I created a couple of Templates but those don't show up in the window.  I have no idea what i'm doing wrong.  I've also confirmed that the Geometry service link works. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is the flex app referencing a database login that has edit privileges to the data? ... View more

Hi Guys, There is a way to custom the attributes windows and add some data such as combo box to select 1,2,3 from it and if there is a way to disappear the feature after closing the application so if he or she will open the application next day the incident feature will not appear in the map. Thanks 🙂 To add a combo box, the easiest way to to add a domain or pick list to the field. This would need to be done on the database. Not sure if you are familiar with this or not so here is a link to creating them: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//001s00000001000000.htm Once you have created your domain, then you re-publish the MXD and clear the REST cache. (not always necessary but I find it to be good practice in schema changes like this). For your second question, the only thing I could think of was to add a field, call it visible and make it a YEs or No field. Set the default value to Yes. Then mayeb you could build a model and python script that runs at a set schedule that sets all the yes' to no. You could get fancy and make the script so that it only switches it to a no if someone has changed a different field to indicate they have seen the incident. ... View more

I downloaded the Flex Viewer onto my server, installed, and it runs great.  Now, is it possible to link it to an excel file that has Long/Lat Coordinates?  I want to display, say 10 points on the Flex map from this Excel file.  I want to be able to hover over the displayed points so that it shows the other information in the row of the excel file.  This seems simple enough, and I already did it in ArcGIS 9.3 but would now like to deploy it company wide. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?  Thank You all in advance for your help! Mike G Bronx, NY Try adding the excel file to ArcMap, then add it as an event layer (File-->Add Data-->Add XY Data). Then publish the MXD and add it as a layer to your viewer. ... View more

My approach to this has been to use IIS and windows authentication. Basically i naviagte to the edit widget config file using IIS manager, and disable anonymous access and enable windows authentication just for that file. However, it is important to note that my experience with IIS is experimental at best and our web aps are largely for internal use only. Simon ... View more

I have just worked up a new version of that tool that gets around the pop up blocking issue by loading the content into a frame within flash.  It also mashes up the Streetview data with the Pictometry oblique view data in one window.  The widget is running under the Flexviewer 2 Beta.  You can check it out at: http://gis.cdatribe-nsn.gov/flashmaps2/ Let me know if you want to be a guinea pig and test the widget? Frank Could I be a guinea pig too, this widget would fulfill the biggest request I get from my users!!!!! ... View more

I hope this is an easy question...but how would I go about setting the default date for a date field in the edit widget???  It is currently set (out of the box) as 12/29/1899... Thank you so much. -Jordan You set this in the MXD by setting a default value for the date field in the editing template. ... View more
