Thank you! Switching the folder to an input parameter did the trick!

Thanks Chris for the suggestion - yes that is better! Here is the original python window script that runs successfully: import arcpy import os import shutil aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT") # Change to Name of Working Map map = aprx.listMaps("Map")[0] # Change to the location of the plan ref layer in your map fc = map.listLayers()[0] print(fc) cursor = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc) for row in cursor: field = "LINK" link = (row.getValue(field)) head, tail = os.path.split(str(link)) print ("Downloading: " + tail) # Set Download Location dest_path = r"H:\Data Requests\ExportFolder" shutil.copy(link, dest_path) print("Download Complete") Here is the script tool code: import arcpy import os import shutil fc = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) print(fc) cursor = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc) for row in cursor: field = "LINK" link = (row.getValue(field)) head, tail = os.path.split(str(link)) print ("Downloading: " + tail) # Set Download Location dest_path = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) shutil.copy(link, dest_path) print("Download Complete")

Hi everyone, I created a script that runs successfully in the ArcGIS Pro python window, but I would like to re-create this as a script tool to eventually be used for a geoprocessing service. I am having problems setting the output folder in the script tool. What is the correct data type to use when setting up the tool parameters? I've tried "Folder", "Workspace", and "String" with no success. (See below) Basically the script copies files from a file directory based off a user selection and a hyperlink to the file using the "LINK" field. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you! This is definitely an improvement, but it's still lacking the functionality that web app builder provides. I cannot seem to find a way to select one or multiple records in the table and zoom/export those features. These options are available when you set up individual "sheets", but then those sheets are not linked to the map layers widget. By the way, is there a way to collapse/minimize the table to the bottom of the map view, as it was configured in web app builder? I have multiple widgets setup in a vertical sidebar, but it appears that you cannot setup a second horizontal sidebar to hold the table.

There seems to be quite a bit of functionality that has not or will not be replicated in experience builder. Here are some widgets I’m having problems reproducing their functionality in experience builder: Layer list/attribute table – the ability to open the attribute table from the layer list appears to not be possible in experience builder. You have to setup separate table widgets in experience builder for each layer. I think it was very useful for the user to be able to view records in the attribute table when necessary. You can also specify which layers in your map are viewable in the attribute table. I would love to see an example that proves me wrong! Select features – In web app builder, the user is given options on which layers to interactively select with the usual select by point, rectangle, polygon, circle, line, and lasso. In experience builder, the user can select using any of those methods but does not have any control on which layers are selectable. For example, if a user wants to only select plan ref’s for a given area, they will be returned those features plus any other layers that are turned on. Viewing selected feature details – Also within the select widget in web app builder, the user is given the ability to view selected records in a list and click through each one to view it’s popup details. The user is also given the option to pan, zoom, flash, export, view statistics, and view in attribute table. (see screenshot below) I really liked the flexibility of this widget. The “feature info” widget (2nd screen shot) in experience builder appears to be the closest reproduction of this, but the user is required to click through each selected record instead of viewing a list of all selected features. Draw widget – the web app builder widget gives the user the option to create text in addition to several other markup tools. The option to create markup text in experience builder does not appear to exist. This option is very useful for redlining areas in GIS that need corrections.

Does anyone know if there is a way to define specific layers in your map that are selectable? There was a way to do this in web app builder, but I am having a hard time finding that capability in experience builder.

Thanks Matthew, Would you have to create a featureLayer variable for each layer in your web map in order to reference the layers in the webmap? Do you know if you have to create the labels programmatically in the code or is there a way to reference the labels that exist in the feature service (which includes multiple layers) that is displayed in a web map?

Does anyone know if you can configure the LayerList widget to allow the user to open the layer's attribute table? This is something that used to be available with web app builder, but then was taken away with experience builder. In experience builder, there is an option in their Layer List widget to allow the user to turn on and off labels. Would this be something that could be configured within the LayerList widget in the JavaScript API? The FeatureTable widget appears to be the widget you would use in the API to display an attribute table, but it doesn't seem to have many options you can configure for it, such as selecting multiple records, zooming to a selected record, exporting table to excel/csv. For example, the attribute table in web app builder allows for this. Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Maybe this is something that will be included with a future release of Experience Builder.

Also have the same problem. Any updates?

Thanks Josh, that was exactly what I was looking for! I appreciate your time and effort on this!

I am trying to add a web map into a story map swipe panel but cannot add because the "Place Map" option is greyed out. I can add other web maps into it, but the particular one i'm working has that option disabled. Anyone know of issues with web maps that may cause this option to be disabled?

Thanks Josh, that's better than showing minutes. Any thoughts on how to represent the hours and seconds? I'm thinking there is probably some kind of arcade expression that could be written.

Does anyone know if there is a way to convert a known length of time (in this case the number of minutes estimated for a sewer overflow) to hours, minutes, and seconds? Currently I am displaying the number of minutes (stored in a double field in a feature service) as an indicator in my dashboard. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, when I open IDLE (Python GUI), the version is 2.7. We do have Pro installed and can confirm that python 3 is installed in the folder you mentioned. How do you open IDLE to use python 3?

‎04-28-2021

Ok thanks, I thought it had to be something like that. I'm running these in 2.7. Somehow 3 never got installed when Pro was installed.
