Hi @chapmunnhsc, Thanks for the reply. I'm in the same boat and cannot figure it out! I'm finding developing for this platform incredibly frustrating. If I could start over, I would not use it. I think I need to create an output data source that can be consumed by other widgets but can't figure out how to get it wired up. If I figure it out, I will post it here. Thanks! Jill ... View more

Hi, Has your account been assigned a role with the "Share with public" privilege enabled? Jill ... View more

Hello @chapmunnhsc ! This is a few months old but did you get this functionality working? I managed to get the View in Table data action but I can't quite figure out how to pass in my feature layer. Thank you! ... View more

Hi Monica, I don't think you're missing a simple step. I don't think it's possible to populate a list with one layer and then zoom to extents stored in another layer (I think that's what you're trying to do). Could you create a Joined view layer and use that as the source of your list? You wouldn't be publishing new data but it would be another content item to maintain. Thanks, Jill ... View more

Hi Jeff, This workflow uses the same authentication and sharing scheme as your ArcGIS Online Organization. You would create a named user in your Organization (or use an existing one). You would share the web map with the user, just like you would share any other piece of non-public content. You will give the developer the ID of this web map, so they know where to look for it. You aren't giving the developer a token, you're giving them the URL for the token service, so that they can request a token using the supplied credentials as needed. When the "application", requires access the web map, a request is made to the token service using the supplied credentials. This token is appended to the request for the web map and since the map has been shared with the user that was used to generated the token, access will be granted. Since the tokens are short lived the app will need to request a new token every time the token expires. The developer will be handling that process as part of the app. There are tutorials and help docs for each of those steps but I don't know of one for the entire workflow. You really just need to handle steps 1 - 3 and the developer handles step 4.  Jill ... View more

Hi Jeff, The back end of ArcGIS Online consists of web services that can return data and configurations to any number of clients. I think in this context, when the doc says "application", it's just referring to the client that's making the request. It's up to the client that's requesting and using the token to manage it correctly. I don't know the details of your specific asset management software but my suspicion is that they are using an Esri API to manage tokens in a way that is transparent to the end user. It looks like the consultant is asking for a token service, username and password so that they can authenticate to "import" your data. I'm not sure if that means they are actually making a copy of your data or if they will use the credentials to access the live services using short lived tokens. They are also asking for a web map ID, I suspect to define which layers are seen by the end users. They are giving you the option to require each end user to log in with their own AGOL credentials to view this map or to use the stored user name and password. Hope that helps, Jill ... View more

Hi Jeff, Yes, when accessing secured content via the REST API, a token is appended to each request. If you look at the network traffic when you're browsing AGOL, you can see that all of the requests for content have a token parameter. AGOL handles the authentication but if they're accessing the content directly they will need to authenticate against a token service to obtain the token themselves. Details for the token service are found here - https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/users-groups-and-items/generate-token.htm. There is a general discussion about authentication here - Introduction to security and authentication and details about generating a token here - Generate a token. Hope that helps! ... View more

Hi Jeff, Does  the consultant have their own ArcGIS Online organization? If so, you can invite them to join a group or create a collaboration. Jill ... View more

Hi Ann, How are you determining what features are symbolized with the Correctional Facilities symbol? If those features fall out of range, in the Counts and Amounts style, there is an option to "Draw features with out of range or no value". Would that work?   ... View more
