Tab order #86

Closed daFiter closed 6 years ago

daFiter commented 6 years ago

My tab order seems to be random and ever changing. I am trying to color the tabs based on the content but since I cannot get them in the order I want consistently I cannot assign a proper color.

I am using the "As-is" version. I have also hosted the app on my own server.

I have looked at this: https://community.esri.com/thread/182899-how-are-points-in-a-shortlist-story-map-tab-ordered

and it says that "The order in which the tabs will be shown in the Shortlist is based on the actual record order of the TAB_NAME field" what does that mean? the Object id order?

an guidance would be appreciated.

Hi Rickey Sorry about the prob,

Could you post the URL to your web map.

The order of your tabs is controlled by the actual record order of the TAB_NAME values. So it is the order that the table appears in if you open it in the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer. That order isn't controlled by a field in the table. You can permanently change the order of your table by doing a geoprocessing sort.

There is an issue with tab order and place order not working consistently when the 'as is' workflow is used with a layer published using ArcGIS Enterprise Server, so we don't recommend using that data source.

Here is my URL

http://gis.ashland.or.us/cipstorybook/

That makes more sense I will look into it.

Thanks, could we also get the URL of the web map your app is 'as-is'-ing to.

I used the sort tool and I now have the tabs in the right order. Thank you!

I get prompted to sign in when I open your web map. Could you share it and content publicly so we can do some testing too?

If your layer is based on an AGS Server services (rather than a hosted ArcGIS Online feature service) I would check to make sure the tabs and the places stay in the right order. We'd recommend using hosted feature services instead of AGS Server services for 'as-is' due to issues we have seen in Shortlist with how records are read in.
