I would like to either return a kmz county outline (polygon) or be able to use a polygon as input to an workspace app by typing the name of the county filter first on state then on county.

I currently have a workspace app that accepts drag and drop kmz files. it filters lines points and polygons and buffers or not around the features then it hull accumulates or not. Then it does a spatial filter on a postgis db to return an aggregated table to excel file and creates a download. 

I recently added the kmz creation of the non aggregated features to the download.

I have set up a few of the kmz county outlines but wondered about just making a dataset available and then punching in the county name to do the query for the input.

I would also (pie in the sky) like to keep the drag and drop (AOI) kmz input to this app.

Is this something someone has done?

Hi @gisbradokla ,

     On our support page we have lots of tutorials that use KML files, which you could use to learn how to implement what you are looking for. This tutorial on how to expose feature attributes from KML tags might help you a lot in your scenario. You could also use User Parameters for your Flow Workspace App and use the user inputted value to match to the feature attributes.

I guess you misunderstood. 
I currently have an app that accepts a drag and drop kmz 

it separates point line poly and makes provision for each and buffers in order to use to select against our enterprise database (postgis) with a spatial st select. 
 

what I am asking for is…

does it sound like I could make the app with a selection list that let me pick a state. Then select a county from that state. And feed that to the spatial selection as a polygon for the selection. While keeping the drag and drop input as well. 
if that doesn’t sound possible. I guess I will make 2 apps. 
then my question is give me some ideas on creating a selecting front end to feed the selected poly to my featureReader

 

Yeah, I do something similar for FEMA buildings, where in 2023+ I have a conditional inputs to decide if I want the nation, state or county (select by). Since there are so many counties, I went with the following layout for counties:

 

 

Using a Choice parameter, set to tree, seperated by a comma

 

And I just use that text value, to select the county I want (e.g. the geometry)
