I'm evaluating an existing application that was developed in-house and trying to determine if the attribute editing popup can be configured. Ex: in a WebMap, I can configure the popup on a field to be "multi-line" and editing in that popup allows just that! Situation: This application is implementing what seems like .createMap at run-time. //create the map using the web map id specified using configOptions or via the url parameter var mapDeferred = esri.arcgis.utils.createMap(configOptions.webmap, "map"); Is there any way to access or configure popup at runtime (ie, some extra parameter I can pass in with the above) that would allow me to set a field to TEXTAREA or allow for multi-line? It's currently just a text box that captures "comments" and they'd like it to be a bit more expandable in the popup. Or... is this where I'd have to implement the Attribute Inspector? Anyway -- I appreciate any info. Also, I can clarify a bit if necessary (sorry, I'm a bit out of my element in the Javascript API world).

Edit: That fixes it. Whether you realize it or not, it's these little adjustments that are bringing me ever so quickly into Javascript dev! Thanks a bunch, Robert. I'll report back as soon as I make the change and update the WAB. Much appreciated!

"By Spatial" tab fails. This was working previously, but I'm not certain what has changed or if I've set something incorrectly. I have 2 services configured on this eSearch widget where I'd like the user to be able to perform an attribute/value search on 1 of the service layers, create a buffer around that selected feature and then "Search entities of": the other/2nd service layer -- making a selection from the buffer. It doesn't error, but it does fail to make the second selection (sort of). It simply selects the features of the 1st service layer intersecting the buffer! Here's the workflow and result: 1. Perform ByValue search on service #1. Success. 2. On BySpatial tab, Apply a search distance of 2 miles and create buffer. Success. 3. On BySpatial tab, Search entities of a different service #2, intersected by the Buffer Graphics. No error. but... 4. The selection is performed on service #1, removing the selection from step 1. and creating the selection. So, yes it works but it works incorrectly. Any ideas? Thanks!

Double-check and go over the field lists you have and verify there's no discrepancies between them and the actual sources. Also, are you using a Joined field to populate some other source? If so, make sure you fully qualify the field's joined name, not just it's alias or original source name. (just a guess here).

Why doesn't the legend contain the service layers in the output pdf? I just tried the Live Site and none of the page formats include a legend -- well, I assume there's a legend but no services are being added to it. I ask because I suspect it's due to the same issue we are having: map services with group layer content in the source mxd's will not be added to the legend created from the print widgets (this one or esri's).

‎03-24-2016

I sure hope they make the print widget work with this setup as well --- as it is right now, map services with grouped layers don't even get added to the legend!

I suspect that the issue has to do with Map Service content (text and symbols) in the legend do not scale or cannot be forced to a certain size. Using WebLayers can sort of work, but only because only those visible in the map extent will be added to the legend thus freeing up some real estate inside the legend. I really wish map services could be functional as web-layers --- in that if items in a group or classification symbology can be individually controlled as visible or not.

Is there any specific setting when publishing Map Services that will determine how they behave with other Map Services contained in the legend of the print widget? For some reason, I have one map service that if included (set visible) all of the other map service layers are suddenly removed from the legend of the pdf output. Removing that 1 map service (set invisible) and all of the other map services appear just fine in the legend of the pdf output. WAB v1.3 Print Service mxd source detail: Legend (in Layout View) is fixed in size to span total vertical size of layout. Anchor point is Lower Left All boxes checked in "Map Connection" section of the General tab of the Legend Properties dialog (Layout tab of Legend Properties dialog) Gap sizes are set to 0.50 pt, Fitting strategy is set to Fixed Frame - Shrink Contents to fit frame and min font size 0.1 pt. The other issue is that shrink contents to size and minimum font size doesn't seem to be honored by the print widget and map services just seem to not get added if there are too many in the legend of the print/output pdf.

Yes. We use the About Widget to show a list of .pdf help documents as well as .mp4 "How To" videos that are launched by clicking on the url's pointing to each one. We place the source files in the same folder the WAB is deployed to.

include the mapping module? import arcpy.mapping Probably not the issue. Maybe have a look at this arcgis 10.1 - Has anybody used arcpy.mapping.ExportReport successfully on 64bit machine? - Geographic Information System…

Is it an indent issue (not sure if it's just the Geonet forum formatting or if it's how you have it in your code)? There doesn't appear to be a required indent after your if statement: Change this for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd,"",df): if lyr.name == "Concerns": arcpy.mapping.ExportReport(lyr,r"C:\ESRITest\NewGeoReportingSystem\GRS_GeneralReport.rlf",r"C:\ESRITest\NewGeoReportingSystem\GeneralReport.pdf") To this for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd,"",df): if lyr.name == "Concerns": arcpy.mapping.ExportReport(lyr,r"C:\ESRITest\NewGeoReportingSystem\GRS_GeneralReport.rlf",r"C:\ESRITest\NewGeoReportingSystem\GeneralReport.pdf")

Okay thanks! We have Developer A, B, C, D and E --- at any time each developer would need to be able to jump in and take part in an implementation that any other developer is working on. That's a pretty extreme case/requirement, but is the kind of capability we'd probably want to have. Also: would any widget re-configuration need to occur on any existing WAB after importing an updated widget? (I can quickly test that, just assuming it would not be a requirement). Thanks again for your input Robert! Much appreciated.

‎03-10-2016

So would you agree that it's a good idea to create a central repository of these custom widgets within our network/file system and have each developer use these widgets in their implementations? It will require some additional effort to be sure we have all desired widgets, as well as create a new process for a developer to have to request a widget, but this way we'd have greater control over versions between developers.

‎03-10-2016

Yes. We try to remain in-synch with the list of widgets but may not be totally equal on exact widgets and versions. Thanks again!

‎03-09-2016

Yes, both will be using the same AGOL Organization url and both are on WAB 1.3 Thanks!
