Hi All,

 

Is there a way to allow the jobsubmitter workspace to be partial populated by some means from user clicking a prebuilt URL? (Or other method)

 

I have a ESRI webmap that contains a feature service with Asset locations. These assets contain a unique identifier attribute I wish to pass into the workspace so the user doesn't have to type it, or select it from a drop down.

The workspace

I have a workspace that requires the unique identifier to maintain a relationship with other data, however the user needs to load in a CSV and add other parameter details before executing the workspace.

 

Currently I have set it up so the user types this ID, but this is fraught with danger of the relationship being lost due to typos.

 

My research so far....

I have found that I can either build a URL from the attributes in my ESRI web map as a popup to either 1. Open the job submitter with blank parameters (Shareable URL); OR 2. supply all parameters filled in and the job goes straight into execution (Direct URL)...

However I can not seem to get the URL string to open the workspace, pre-populate it but not execute. Allowing for the user to input values into other parameters. Is there a syntax for this, or does it not exist?

Hi mgerbz, this might be a little too late, but I think a simple solution would be to setup some kind of dialog on ESRI web map to get user's input and then when user press on Execute, you then fill up the rest of the parameters with ID, etc. You then send the request with all the parameters to FME for execution.
