Editing

Required bundle: editing

Add editing functionality to an app

To enable the editing of features in an app one or more ArcGIS Feature Layers that allow the editing of features have to be added to the app.

In the next step the tool for editing must be added to a toolset, see configuration of tools. Afterwards a dialog is available to the user that allows to edit existing geobjects and add new ones. Existing features can be deleted in the step Edit feature - if the service allows it.

groupFeatureTemplatesBy

Specifies how the templates are grouped. Allowed values are

  • layer - templates are grouped according to the layer they belong to.

  • geometry - templates are grouped according to the type of their geometry (points, lines, polygons)

  • none - all templates are listed without grouping.

initialGeometryEditMode

Defines which editing mode is activated when editing geometries. Allowed values are

  • transform - allows to move, resize and rotate a geometry.

  • reshape - allows to move a geometry as well as moving or adding vertices of a geometry.

  • move - allows to move a geometry without changing its vertices, size or rotation.

toggleGeometryEditModeOnClick

Customize attribute editing dialog

To customize the input masks for attribute editing, so-called FormTemplates can be used, which must be defined at the respective Feature Layer. This allows to define a selection of the displayed attributes, their order and grouping.

The following code sample shows the definition of a FormTemplate:

    "map-init": {
        "Config": {
