The Geoprocessing widget provides a dynamic user interface to execute a geoprocessing task. It provides the
ability to configure symbology for input and output layers, as well as overriding default values for parameters.
Configure the Geoprocessing widget
This widget can be set to open automatically when
an app starts. Click the Do not open this widget when
the app starts button on the widget to turn on the option to open the widget automatically. (For widgets you need to add to the app first, you can make this setting after configuring the widget.)
Hover over the widget and click the Configure this widget button to open the configuration window.
Note:
If you need to add the widget to the app first, click a widget placeholder on the Widget tab. In the Choose Widget window that opens, select the widget and click OK.
Click the Set button and add the geoprocessing service from ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Server.
Note:
The Geoprocessing widget does not support OGC Web Processing Services (WPS).
The list of Input and Output parameters for the task populates, along with the Layer order and Options sections.
To configure each Input parameter, click to make it active. The default values, defined by the published geoprocessing service, populate in the Label, Tooltip, and default value areas, such as Input Feature by and Symbol in this case. You can input features with one of the following options:
Interactively drawing on the map
Use shapefile in local file system
Selecting a layer from the map
URL
You may have the Use current map extent option to use the current map extent as the input feature for the polygon.
Check Visible to display the parameter on the widget interface.
The content of the default value area varies based on the parameter type. For details, see Geoprocessing parameter types.
Click each Output parameter to make it active and configure it. Set the label and tooltip for the output, and check the boxes below to control how the output displays:
Ignore this output
Turn off this layer by default
Output may have different schema, use dynamic schema instead of predefined
Click the Renderer tab, which is GPFeatureRecordSetLayer
in this case.
In the Use section, choose Unique Symbols from the drop-down list.
In the To Show section, choose ToBreak from the drop-down list.
Choose a color pattern.
Click the plus sign (+) to add different values that you want to show in the Add Value box.
To display symbology for unmatch values, check the Others item in the list and choose a symbol. If you wouldn't like to display this symbology, you can check off this option.
Select the fields to display in the Popup window for output features. Check the Enable popup check box to enable the pop-up. Click the Add drop-down arrow to select fields for the pop-up title. Check the check boxes in the Visible column to display the field in the pop-up when a feature is clicked. Reorder fields by clicking the up and down arrows next to the field.
If the output parameter is GPRecordSet, you can configure the fields to display in the output table.
Control the order of the layers (input, output) by clicking the up and down arrows in the Layer order section.
Note:
Output feature layers are always displayed on top of heat maps and tileset layers (map, imagery, and tiles).
In the Options section, check Add result as operational layer to add the output layer to the map's operational layers. Check Allow to export results to export the result locally to a CSV, feature collection, or GeoJSON file as well as to save the result as a feature collection item on the My Content tab in the Contents pane in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise. Additionally, if your geoprocessing service is published with the View result with a map service parameter, the Use the drawing options of result map service option is enabled. You can choose to draw the result with the map service. If you do, the Renderer capability of Output in step 5 is disabled. If the Output may have different schema, use dynamic schema instead of predefined option is checked, the schema of the output feature set can't be predicted, including the field definition and geometry type. As a result, the renderer is ignored, and the feature set is added as a graphics layer using the default symbol.
Click OK to close the dialog box.
Use the Geoprocessing widget
Click the widget icon to open the Geoprocessing widget.
Enter a value for each of the input parameters. In this example, the drive time analysis geoprocessing task from ArcGIS Online is consumed. The task requires one or more starting locations and a set of space-delimited drive times to be used to calculate possible distances over time.
Once all required input parameters (annotated by an asterisk next to the name) have values, click Execute to submit the task.
The Output tab is selected and displays a progress indicator until execution completes.
Upon completion, the geoprocessing results display on the map. Click Output to view their attributes.
Click the ellipsis (…) to export the results to one of the following formats when the Allow to export results box is checked:
Export to CSV file
Export to Feature Collection
Export to GeoJSON
Save to My Content
The Save to My Content option saves the result as a feature collection item on the My Content tab of the Contents pane in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise.
Click Clear on the Input tab to clear the location, or click the x on the Output tab to clear the geoprocessing results from the map.
