Web app template that is used to determine if the location specified intersects a polygon

information-lookup

Web app template that is used to determine if the location specified intersects a polygon. The location entered is optionally stored in a layer in the web map.

Features

• Place Finding - Find places or geocode an address
• Graphics - Draw a point
• Query - Determine if drawn graphic is within a specific area
• Webmap- Use the template with ArcGIS Online webmaps

Instructions

1. Fork and then clone the repo.
2. Update the configuration settings to use template
3. Run and try the samples.

Requirements

• Notepad or your favorite HTML editor
• Web browser with access to the Internet

Deploying

1. To deploy this application, download the template from Portal/ArcGIS Online and unzip it.
2. Copy the unzipped folder containing the web app template files, such as index.html, to your web server. You can rename the folder to change the URL through which users will access the application. By default the URL to the app will be http://<Your Web Server>/<app folder name>/index.html
3. Change the sharing host, found in defaults.js inside the config folder for the application, to the sharing URL for ArcGIS Online or Portal. For ArcGIS Online users, keep the default value of www.arcgis.com or specify the name of your organization.

• ArcGIS Online Example: "sharinghost": location.protocol + "//" + “<your organization name>.maps.arcgis.com
• Portal Example where arcgis is the name of the Web Adaptor: "sharinghost": location.protocol + "//" + "webadaptor.domain.com/arcgis"

4. If you are using Portal or a local install of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript, change all references to the ArcGIS API for JavaScript in index.html to refer to your local copy of the API. Search for the references containing "//js.arcgis.com/3.15" and replace this portion of the reference with the url to your local install.

• For example: "//webadaptor.domain.com/arcgis/jsapi/jsapi" where arcgis is the name of your Web Adaptor.

5. Copy a map or group ID from Portal/ArcGIS Online and replace the default web map ID in the application’s index.html page. You can now run the application on your web server or customize the application further.

Note: If your application edits features in a feature service, contains secure services or web maps that aren't shared publicly, or generate requests that exceed 200 characters, you may need to set up and use a proxy page. Common situations where you may exceed the URL length are using complex polygons as input to a task or specifying a spatial reference using well-known text (WKT). For details on installing and configuring a proxy page see Using the proxy. If you do not have an Internet connection, you will need to access and deploy the ArcGIS API for JavaScript documentation from developers.arcgis.com.

information-lookup's Issues

Present a tab or method to display each feature or layer of features in a different view

Example:
https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/findyourlegislator/leg-districts.html

Each layer becomes a tab, each tab has all the features from the layer, each feature is clickable. Tabs can toggle visibility

Support displaying address in the pre or post text of the popup

Error on first search - subsequent searches fine

I have found that if a layer with thousands of small polys is used as a lookup layer then on some browsers or slower internet connections, the first search will produce the error message about the search being out of bounds or something. This is simply because the search was fast and tried to return data before the lookup layer could load. It would be nice if the app could wait until all layers have loaded before trying to produce data in the side panel.

combinedPopups.js not working properly when search by a polygon feature in a polygon layer

I tracked it down to line 403 and 416.
403: if (layer.featureCollection !== null) {
416 } else if (layer.layerObject !== null) {
Both line crash when object is undefined.

They should be
403: if (layer.featureCollection != null) {
416 } else if (layer.layerObject != null) {
which will detect both null and undefined.

I think this was right at a time in the past but somehow was reintroduced later on.

Share Info WIndow information

Please add a capability to share the info window content with a copy of the map for context.

When side panel option is on, map result shifts

If using side panel, the map shifts right of centre on the web app when embedded, on the first search result. Subsequent search results are OK. But because the side panel activates it pushes the web map to the right.

A TOC type control to allow users to explore additional info

details here - https://geonet.esri.com/message/548579

Enhancement Request - return additional information in 'outside service area popup'

The current app only reports outside service area if no features are returned.

I'm using multiple feature layers to display in the standard app popup, I need the service area to report additional information from a standard popup even if the feature is outside the service area.

For example, I need parcel information AND floodplain information to appear in the popup when intersect = true. I need just the parcel information presented if intersect = false.

Add ability to find the closest or all within a distance from search location

Side panel popup width

I'm trying to configure the popup width when configured to open in the side panel. Having a little trouble identifying the correct location to configure.

Evaluate using rich text for the title bar

Allow the user to custom format the text, will only support one line

Share link button opens the app in a new tab

I'm using this template through AGOL (created a web map and shared it using the Information Lookup template). The link button at the bottom of the docked pop-up does not offer sharing options. Clicking it results in the same web app opening in a new tab.

Webmap filters not honored

Filters applied to the webmap to hide/remove polygons are not honored by the info lookup template.

New UI option to have a Geoform style search box and no map

pop up would be shown in result
option to show map

Geonet - information lookup template search issue

@MikeMillerGIS

https://geonet.esri.com/thread/187288-information-lookup-template-search-issue

Error handling: Unable to display results if image in pop-up unavailable

If an image, set in the web map's pop-up media, becomes unavailable, the app will linger when querying a location with this pop-up image. Ideally, an image should not be unavailable however would it be possible to still have the pop-up display with the image unavailable icon, like what happens in the web map?

Popup width doesn't update the popup

When changing the popup width, doesn't update popup.

URLs build inside custom popups not working

When using the information lookup combined popup functionality, URLs are not being generated correctly from a custom popup authored from a webmap.

URL Example: http://map1.msc.fema.gov/bundle/{FIRMPANEL}.zip

URL from webmap -

URL from information lookup -

Add support for Tiled Map Services

Published a single feature service as both a map and feature service.
Added the map service to a web map and enabled pop-ups. Configured with Info Lookup and receive:

Lookup Layers Settings
Lookup Layers

No layers available. Check your web map for valid layers.

Here's the map service and web app I used.

Went pecking in the source code and came across this.

Enhancement Request - Add other geometry types to intersect workflow

As a citizen, I need to search for my parcel (or a parcel that I’m thinking about purchasing) by address or parcel number and select it on the map. From that selected parcel, I need to find out if it is in the floodplain (intersected feature).

• Current “point” based location not sufficient for reporting – I would think for a very large - maybe not (+- 10 AC) parcel it may also not have utility service where the address lookup is going?
• The improved structure may be out of the floodplain but the parcel inside (future improvements)

Screenshot – these parcels are technically in the floodplain but the address search reports them “not” in the floodplain.

Splash Screen does not resize based on content

Looks like the splash screen is currently hard coded with a height value. Content will get cut off if it goes beyond the max height of the div

Popup URL Links not formatting correctly

I'm having a problem getting links I have configured on my map to show properly when used in the template. Everything else works great. I tried several and no luck. See image below.

Here is a link to the map I am using for popups, maybe it has something to do with the way I configured them?:
http://arcg.is/1PhUvW9

Option to filter data not returned in the lookup

Determine a way to hide data not part of the lookup results(wells not in aquifer) or display a selection symbol on results in the lookup area.

Infowindow is underneath Address bar and basemap widget on maximizing

Steps to repro

1. Click on a feature and maximize the infowindow
2. Notice the Maximized infowindow is beneath Address Bar and basemap widget, hence the infowindow Title bar information will not be visible
   .
   

This behavior is seen in the production and devext apps.

Hide overflow on title bar and use ... when text is truncated by small devices

Enhancement Request - Specify your own criteria for searching

Address, POI is great - but what about user specified search options line parcel no., owner name, fire name, etc.

The new Basic Viewer does this COTS.

I have an issue where the popup text is not cleared even though the popup itself is closed.

I have an issue where the popup text is not cleared even though the popup itself is closed.

Point symbol (star) not cleared after closing popup

Expose a geocoding match threshold or match level in configuration

Instead of having the app jump to the next valid level of geometry when the user enters an invalid address, we've had one customer who would instead like to have the app provide some sort of prompt or warning if either incomplete address information is entered or if an address is not resolved. This prompt would be displayed if the entered address does not meet a configurable match threshold.

Expose limit search to default extent in configuration

adding searchExtent: true to the config should limit the search to the extent, expose this as a configuration option

Add an option to turn off zooming to intersected features

Currently if you have a large intersecting feature, you may want to turn off zoom level.

Pop-ups open off screen on laptop and mobile devices

Add carriage return between popups

determine if pop up requires a carriage return and auto add it,

Custom Geocoder

I tried setting the default geocoder to something other than ESRI's World Geocoder and it doesnt seem to stick and reverts back to it. Is there another location where it needs to be set besides the commonconfig.js?

geocode: [{
url: location.protocol + "//utility.arcgis.com/usrsvcs/servers/a88702314a8a48cb84d0a6305f1adcb6/rest/services/locators/RLIS_Locator/GeocodeServer"
}]

Expose option and add ability to draw on the map returned features

Switching basemap to a esri hosted one updates map but no way to go back to your web-map specifed one

Repro Steps:

1. Open information lookup
2. Switch basemap

Cannot get back to my web-map specified basemap. This could be a general enhancement to the basemap control, not sure.

Determine option to zoom to a result in the combined popup

Add a method to make the pop up clickable to zoom to the resulting feature

If a result layer has more than one feature, join to the results

Crashes on mobile

Chrome and Safari crashes on a mobile device when trying to query a location.

Pop-Up Text Remains after closing Pop-Up

I have an issue where the popup text is not cleared even though the popup itself is closed. Thanks

Couldn't add another geocoder/locator to this template

Hi,
I was working with one of the user's and I could not get this to work using a custom Geocoder URL. I have downloaded this template and hosted it on my server.

I tried adding my own url under DEFAULT.JS FILE. --> HELPERSERVICES --> GEOCODE.url but this doesn't seem to work.

I also tried replacing world geocode url from commonConfig.js file but no luck over there.
When I debugged in search.js file it only adds World Geocoder to the Search sources. Do I need to change anything else anywhere? I do not want to use search widget directly on my layer.

Would you be able to test this when you get a chance?

Thanks,
Akshay

Print option for Information Lookup template

I was just wondering if there is a plan to add a print option to the Information Lookup template. Or if anyone have custom configure it? Thank you, Nataliya

Present method to pick a select by feature when more than one is found

use the splash screen style dialog or some other method to let the user choose which select by feature they want to use. Support highlighting row to aid the user.

enhancement request - legend

With more and more layers being added to our map, it'd be nice to have a legend so users'd know what are those symbols. What do you think?

Error "layer.layerObject is undefined"

I'm getting a "layer.layerObject is undefined" error when launching the map on FF 31 through both Esri's hosted application and when I setup the map to be hosted locally on my webserver. Chrome 36 throws a "Cannot read property 'layerInfos' of undefined".

Here's the map:
http://bit.ly/1o7qOLI

Here's the ESRI hosted webapplication with the error:
http://kingcounty.maps.arcgis.com/apps/InformationLookup/index.html?appid=400507e78aab484dbaa83b07a83afdb5

Having trouble tracking down the cause.

Portal storage layer

Unable to select a point layer in the web map. Had a point layer in map Was using Portal 10.3.

Header bar full length, move side panel below it

Move the side panel to under the header, not next to it.

Enhancement Request - custom (configurable) symbol for point location

Allow the configuration of a different point symbol when locating by searching for an address or simply clicking on the map.

enhancement - Option to remove basemap picker

expose config parameter to remove the basemap picker.

Update config panel to use the new multilayer picker
