I have a web map I am building to display Methlab data. I live in Oklahoma so the dots are... prolific? (dear lord... they're everywhere!) Step 1 So I created an MXD with TWO Query layers (because we have to pull our data from an Oracle table that is being created from other, multiple Oracle tables... basically multiple systems create this data). Query Layer 1 : Current Year Methlabs Query Layer 2 : ALL Methlabs Step 2 Publish the MXD. Create the REST Service. Step 3 Create the AGOL webmap. Current Year Methlabs Rest Service is a regular layer on the map. ALL Methlabs Rest Service is ON the map, but hidden from Legend and turned off. Step 4 Create the WAB Map. I am using the eSearch widget by Robert Scheitlin, GISP​, to query My hope here is that I would like to display an initial set of data, ergo the Current Year Methlabs, when the user opens the map. But then, they will probably want to search around and find Methlabs all over through multiple searches. Attempt #1: AGOL had 1 layer. Current year. eSearch searched the ALL Methlabs REST Service. Problem: The Popups I created in AGOL wouldn't transfer to the ALL Methlabs, as they were made for the Current Year layer which was ACTUALLY ON the AGOL map... not the ALL Methlabs. Attempt #2: AGOL has 2 layers. Current year / All Methlabs. Fashion the popups in AGOL for both layers. Hide the ALL Methlabs layer from Legend. Problem: eSearch popups still rule the day. I need the AGOL created pop-ups, not the eSearch. Ugh!!!! I'm at a loss as to how to move forward. I wish there was a way to TURN OFF A LAYER as a Search was activated. That would solve my problems. Or someway to set the initial view to display a layer that would be removed at the first sign of search activity. Ugh. ... View more

So I have a crime map I'm developing using the the WAB 2.0 and I'm having issues. I have two layers in my map. One layer is a QUERY LAYER for the "CURRENT MONTH" crimes. The other layer is a QUERY LAYER for the "CURRENT YEAR" crimes. I need the Legend to show only Crime Codes being displayed. But instead I get ALL crime types in the legend. Any ideas of how to manage the legend entries that are displayed? I even went back to the MXD and removed ALL other layers. So the MXD only has the same two layers that my web map shows. ...

So I spent that last part of Friday updating Google Analytics for all of our maps. I opened and interacted with WAB 1.3 a couple of times but nothing serious. Then this morning I come in, I check the Developer Site for the WAB and see that 2.0 got released. But I wanted to export my 1.3 maps first to ZIP. When I tried to open 1.3 I get "getAppList failed!" I didn't have 2.0 on my system. I do not. I figured, oh well, I can just reconfigure the two maps that I need for now. I keep a working copy of all past installs of WAB in folders named for their version. With the HOPE that if I ever needed, I could go back and work in those environments, in case I needed to. Any ideas what could cause 'getAppList' to fail, especially since I didn't do anything with WAB that SHOULD have caused issues? ... View more

So I have an Oracle database. It manages a slew of data, some of which is collision data for traffic accidents that happen in our city. I am trying to build a Web App Builder application that displays Collisions. Silly me. What I am finding is that the field I created: to_date( to_char( databasename.calendar_date, 'DD-MON-YYYY' ) || ' ' || otherdatabasename.time_24_hour, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI') AS tpd_collision_datebegin, works fine. HOWEVER... I want to Time Enable it... woooooooooooo... Ahem. So I have it time enabled in the MXD. I can open the time toolbar in ArcMap and watch the days tick by with collision, after collision, after collision adding up and the dots appearing all over my map. I'm able to set the MXD to have the time slider window only run if the layer being displayed if time enabled. It all appears to work great… on the MXD side. Once I ‘Share As’ service the WAB developed app I’m working on gives me a timeline with two points. Start and End. It doesn’t scroll from start to finish, it jumps. It starts at NO DOTS then suddenly ALL DOTS for that visible layer. I’ve tried working with the AGOL time slider settings, the MXD time slider settings, I’ve even made adjustments (such as max count) via the Server Manager… it jumps. It doesn’t slide, it doesn’t even increment… it just jumps from start to finish… ugh. The other thing it does is it will display the points for the current day of the slider and all previous points, but before it hits the next day… it erases all points… and displays the points for the next day of the slider and all previous points… and it does this as it moves forward. So it’s advanced… but it’s refreshing the ENTIRE FEATURE CLASS for each day… instead of leaving points on the map and just adding new ones. Does anyone have any ideas? Any experience with the Time Slider? ... View more
