want to learn how to add and configure
widgets for your dashboard then stay
tuned to find out hi everyone welcome
back to my channel for another exciting
tutorial today we will be creating our
dashboard using features uploaded to
arcgis online so let's go by the way if
you want to skip all of this rambling
that I am about to do then you can skip
ahead to get started with your dashboard
a few things to consider before we get
started one you'll be using feature
services published or available in
arcgis online you will have to
determine what your dashboard will
answer this tells you if you need
filters and your feature layers must
have the attributes that you need your
dashboard to answer so in my dashboard I
will have four layers in my ArcGIS
online web map that would feed
information into it
I have three layers that I published
from arcgis pro and the location
tracking feature I created in arcgis
online from available feature templates
this collects where my workforce has
been while collecting data in my last
tutorial I showed you how to add this
feature to your web map and and enable
collection of this feature in the
background I will link it at the end of
the tutorial so you can check it out so
from my dashboard I want to answer the
following where are my fieldwork first
collecting data right now how much roads
have been maintained since January 1
2015
in meters how many utility poles have we
maintained before January 31 2018 in
relation to their status
how many wooden utility poles need
repairing how is the utility pole
material distributed in percentage and
how many commercial and residential
buildings are there with these questions
in mind we'll get started so we launch
operations dashboard and create our view
you can
create one of two views and both options
will tell you what they are about once
you select your view in my case the
multi display and click create
you are asked to configure a map this is
a map that your dashboard will feed from
this is a map that was already created
maybe it was a map that was used for
collector or just a map specific for
dashboard when you select this map it
shows you the layers available in your
web map and you will be asked to select
all the layers that will be used as a
data source for your dashboard so all of
my layers here will be used as a data
source and I also need to make them
selectable in my map remember I had some
questions that my dashboard needs to
answer
well I selected add there to create filters
that will help with my questions about
the total number of commercial and
residential buildings these will be
separate answers so I need to create two
filters from my buildings layer and one
filter will say that we need to pull out
only the buildings that have the type
commercial in its attribute and I also
need to do the same for the residential
buildings
next I said I wanted to find out how
much roads have we maintained in meters
since January 1 2015
I have a year 2020 target so I need to
know how close are we to meeting this
target at any given time I have the last
maintained date attribute and I make sure
I'm filtering all the dates for features
collected after January 1 2015
for my polls I need to know a few things
but one specific thing that I need to
know requires only a part of the
attributes and this is a total number of
wooden poles that are in need of repair
so I need to create a filter for that
I don't need any more filters right now
but I could always add more later I
check the location tracking layer to add
as a data source as well so my dashboard
is ready for more widgets next I said I
wanted to be able to see where my
field workforce is collecting data and
who is collecting it so I will be
creating a list widget to show me my
users by their user names in order of
the latest date and time that the data
was created or was collected so I
configure my list widgets with the
location tracking feature remember this
feature is available as part of the
arcgis online feature templates so you
can create yours
this feature collects the creator and
editor and it also collects the creation
date and these are the attributes that
we will use to configure our widgets
in the feature action and these are the
features that I want my widget to perform
or enable I want to be able to follow
this feature show it's pop-up
highlight it and be able to zoom to it
and just a note we can't actually follow
this feature since it's collecting a
series of points but I like it so I'm
using it so my widget is done but I
forgot one last thing so I go to
configure it to allow filters so now I
can search for a particular user now I
dock my widget by dragging and dropping
similar to how you dock your windows in
arcmap
and i reconfigure my map widget as well
next I'm going to add a gauge widget to
determine how much roads I've maintained
since January 1 2015
so here I will use one of the filters
I've created when configuring the map
this filter needs the features collected
after January 1 2015
I realize that I actually didn't name
that filter when I created it but I know
that my roads filter I name my widget
and I give it a description
I just need the total so far in meters
so I select the shape length and it's
sum because I know that my shape length
is in meters so I know it calculates the
total sum of the lengths of roads if you
had another attribute with similar
information you could totally use this
so in my target range remember I said I
had a year 2020 target this is where I
would include this target in the maximum
value I include a threshold value
because reaching the threshold means
that we expect an incentive for every
5,000 meters collected after that
so now my Road widget is completed and
docked you can totally change these colors
too by just going to the appearance tab
in widgets configuration now I'm going
to configure a widget to tell me how
many polls we have maintained before
January 31 2018 in relation to their
status I'm using the entire layer for
this widget so I'm getting the total
number of features in relation to a
particular attribute status in this case
so the status attribute becomes my value
field
since I need the count or the total
number for each unique attributes I
check the show label on their appearance
and this gives me the total number for
each unique attribute value
now this widget is completed and docked
and by the way this is how you
undock your widgets and by now we know how to dock them
okay guys I think this is where I'll end
part 1 of this tutorial I don't want you
to get too bored we will conclude this
dashboard in my next tutorial we'll have
about 4 more widgets to add so please
