Data Requirements? Non-enriched sources allowed?

[srsjojo]

Hello,

I'm looking to utilize the impact summary for a slightly different purpose - to give interactive asset statistics for our rail lines.

For example, if a user clicked on a rail line the information boxes would show statistics such as number of bridges, crossings, or culverts. I've created a new feature service containing numeric fields but the application won't let me select it as the source.

1. What are the requirements for the data source?
   • What type of numeric fields are accepted? Double? Short? Long? Float?
   • Or does the app just look at specific column names?
   • What version of ArcServer is required?
   • Does it have to be a feature service, a map service, or a hosted feature service?
   • Are there are other requirements not mentioned?
2. Can this tool be modified to allow polylines?

Thanks,
~Stephen

Hey @srsjojo,

It should be able to work for that.

1. It can be any number format. It just looks at the column name. I don't think it requires any specific version. It needs to be a feature service (hosted or non hosted) in order to get the data from the layer.
2. Yes. Lines work.

Hey @driskull ,

Ah, that did the trick, thanks.

I'm noticing some odd rendering of my lines in the app.

Any idea what's causing this?

Thanks,

I had the same issue. The app was trying to turn the lines into a polygon. I ended up buffering the lines and joining and appending the line data to the buffer polygons. A possible workaround for the time being.

Hi @phuls ,

Thanks for the trick, I'll look into that option for now.

Really nice looking map by the way. Cool analysis too.
