Correct. I have three applications in the wwwroot folder - there is a propertymap folder, a mapgallery folder, and now the propertyviewerupgradetesting folder.

‎05-01-2017

Just double checked, and there is no subfolder. Here's a screen shot. Does it matter that I don't use the suggested name for the zip file when I download it from my machine? It suggests Douglas County, KS Property Viewer.zip which struck me as a bad file name because of the spaces and special character. I rename it to propertyviewerupgradetesting.zip before downloading, then transfer the file to my server and unzip it there without futher renaming.

It's a long name: propertyviewerupgradetesting. Eventually it will be renamed to overwrite the current property viewer website, but we want the two sites to co-exist for a week or so as a "soft launch." My current property viewer is https://dgco.douglas-county.com/propertymap/index.html , so the new map should work as https://dgco.douglas-county.com/propertyviewerupgradetesting/index.html .

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum to post this question in. If there is a better place to ask for help, please let me know! I have successfully created a website using WAB Developer Edition installed on my local machine and am ready to deploy. I've read and re-read the Deploy your app page, but I don't understand the part about configuring and adding a proxy. I've followed the links to Use proxy and went through both of the blog posts that explain how to set up a proxy. Unfortunately, I am not an IT person and while I have aspirations of being a GIS web developer, I do not know enough to make sense of the reasons why you need to set up a proxy. In short -- I don't know if I need to set up a proxy, nor do I understand how to set one up. That being said, I don't think the proxy setup is the root of my my problem. I've downloaded the code package onto my GIS web server and unzipped it into my inetpub > wwwroot directory. I've opened IIS and converted that folder to an application. Is there anything else that I need to do to make the website available on the internet? When I try to open the website via the web, I get a plain page with the text, "The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable." I know I've entered the web address correctly, and my other two applications in the Default Web Site directory work fine. I should add that if I open a browser on my machine and type in \\servername\applicationname, the site works fine. If I try the localhost path on the server, the "app loading" page appears but the app never actually loads. I'd appreciate any resources that will help me learn more so that I can resolve my issues on my own. I'm eager to expand my knowledge, but am really struggling to find a good starting point.

No wonder I couldn't find it! I was looking in client > sitemapp > widgets. This resolved my issue, so thank you for the fast and helpful response.

OK, that probably explains my issue. Thank you! I like the otb Share widget, but I can't use it unless I can figure out a way to turn off the "Query a feature and zoom to it" option. That functionality allows the end user to query our parcel database by owner name, which our county does not want. I can't hide the owner field from the parcel layer because the county wants to show owner information in the pop-up window. (In short, it's OK to see who owns a specific parcel, but it is not OK to allow queries that will quickly highlight every property a person owns.) Do you have any ideas on how I could achieve that? I've been reading through the code, but I fear that the section I need to comment out is not exposed. (I'm a JS noob, so that doesn't help.)

Does the current version of this widget work with WAB Developer version 2.4? When I first add it to my map, it works, but subsequent clicks to activate the tool fail. (I just get the "loading" circle, but nothing ever appears.) I'm not sure if this is a compatibility issue or if it's because I am just testing on localhost and have not enabled the map for full use yet. Appreciate any clarification you can offer! - Amy

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for yesterday but couldn't find.

I'm using WebApp Builder Developer Edition to "upgrade" our current property viewer site, using my own server to publish web services and AGOL to publish the map that the app consumes. I know that I can track overall hits on a map in AGOL, but I'm wondering if there is a way to monitor individual widget usage. In other words, I'd want a report that looked like this: Daily summary App access -- 100 hits Search widget -- 99 hits Legend widget - 10 hits Select widget - 87 hits Draw widget - 12 hits Basemap widget - 42 hits Basically, I'm wondering if anyone using Developer Edition has a good method in place for tracking widget usage?

Owen, thank you so much for both suggestions! I didn't know that the option existed to select a subset of layers from a single map to display. It took me about an hour to migrate everything into one map, which was worth the effort because I have far fewer maps to maintain. Even better, the sudden zoom/pan issue is gone now that I'm using one map. A win-win. I agree with your suggestion to add context to the map, but I am limited at the moment because all of my web services are projected in state plane. In the near future, I intend to reproject everything to Web Mercator and use the AGOL standard caching extents so that we can take full advantage of the resources available. The days of the floating county motif are numbered! Again, thank you for for your feedback! It was very helpful.

I have a tabbed map series story map set up to show various districts with elected officials in our county. It has 8 tabs, and the tabs each point to a different ArcGIS online map, all of which have the same default extent set up in its settings. I've also added in that default extent to the story map application settings. The extent of the map for tabs 2-8 inherit from the first tab. Here's my issue: when you click on any of the last three tabs (Kansas Senate, US House, Township), the map appears to quickly zoom out, zoom in, and pan from west to east. It only happens the first time that you click the tab. Every subsequent time, the scale stays the same. The sudden zoom-pan behavior is disorienting and unnecessary. Has anyone experienced this issue? Any suggestions on what I could do to stop it?

The June 2016 release got closer to this, but I agree that there are still enhancements needed. Right now, I have a polygon feature class that has a many-to-one relationship with a table. I really need to be able to show the records in the related table in our pop-ups, but that appears to be the only relationship that is not currently supported.

Just wanted to add my experience with this code snippet from Kelly. We are using the Map Tools template for our county property viewer and the orange highlight has been on my hit list for a while now. Since we are hosting the app template on our server, I was able to take this bit of code and paste it into the main.css file to overwrite the orange box. I put it in directly below the other two style blocks that reference #mapDiv and it worked like a charm. Thanks, Kelly!

Can you elaborate on creating replicas with an SDE schema? I'm wondering if there are any special considerations for which logins to use when creating replicas. For example, do you have to use the same level of permissions for both parent and child? I ask because I'm having an issue with a two-way replica. The child's edits come back to the parent every time without fail, but edits made on the parent do not transfer to the child. I looked at the A and D tables for the feature classes affected, and the records seem to get orphaned in those tables instead of transferring. I'm to the point now where I'm rebuilding the replica once a week, which suggests to me that I'm making a mistake in the setup.

According to Esri tech support, the statistics and indexes do not replicate, so it is a good practice to analyze, compress, and rebuild indexes. Doing so will improve database performance. The frequency for doing these steps depends entirely on how many edits are being made on the data. Just like any database, those with large quantities of transactions will need more frequent maintenance than those that see infrequent updates. As far as I can tell, there is no magic formula for determining an ideal maintenance schedule based on the number of transactions. Really, the only disadvantage to frequent maintenance is the time investment (assuming you don't have a script scheduled to do it when you're out of the office) and any impacts that come from taking the database offline to get a good compress. Thanks, Tina M. at Esri Support Services for answering this question over the phone for me!
