ArcGIS Widget 2.0 Demo Project

0
The images for this widget show blue dots for items. When I run the demo project there are 18 items that are on the map, but I don't see blue dots or other identifiers for them.     vs what I see       How do I enable seeing the gis objects on the map?

Hi Michael,

 

this demo project comes with predefined ArcGIS layers configured, like the Dutch railway stations. What objects do you want to show on the map? Are these different objects? Are these only stored in Mendix or do they also correspond to objects in an existing ArcGIS hosted layer?

If you want to display objects geographically on the map in your Mendix app you need them to be in an ArcGIS layer. So the layer needs to be configured in the widget settings. If you want to extent these geographical objects from your Mendix app, you need to add all features you need in the GISObject entity. You can link this Mendix entity with the ArcGIS geographical version which is shown in the map by populating the ID attribute on the GISObject entity with the ObjectID attribute on the ArcGIS side. 

 

if you have set up these GISObjects in the Mendix domain model and have synced the ID attribute, you should be able to add interactions on click like extending the pop-up with data from both ArcGIS as well as the Mendix GISObject. Next to that you should be able to add action buttons to these popups which could trigger microflows and Nanoflows.

 

see for instance the GISObject for Utrecht Centraal which is properly configured on the Mendix side hence has these features on click.

 

I hope this helps, please let me know!
