I need to associate a large number of documents with a polygon feature layer published in Portal. The goal is for users to click on a polygon and see a pop-up containing a field with a URL. Clicking this URL should open a document library in SharePoint that contains all the documents associated with the polygon.

The documents and polygons share a common ID, which can be used as the link between them. However, I am unsure how to configure this mechanism in Portal or how best to set up the integration with SharePoint.

After investigating the Parcel Fabric Data Model, I’ve determined it is not suitable for this situation or the desired functionality.

Does anyone have recommendations or examples of how to configure this setup in Portal? Any advice on integrating SharePoint document libraries with feature layer attributes would also be appreciated.

I would do the following.

1. Create an empty feature class with the desired data model (fields) into enterprise database.

2. Create an excel with the common id and the sharepoint path

3. Use excel to table to import the table into GIS file geodatabase.

4. Create a joined feature class using common id between polygons and table.

5. Use Append, to append the desired matching fields of the joined feature class to the enterprise feature class.

6. Share it to portal. now the sharepoint link will be hightlithed as hyperlink and will navigate users to sharepoint.
