    How is your experience with the UI Template Designer (launched in SSA 12.2 release) ?

    It needs the ability to modify existing templates, and to exclude fields with blank values. Currently when I choose "Hide selection when value is null", blank rows appear in the callout.

    We have introduced ability to edit templates that are created through ?the template designer in the patch release - the one released in June.

    ?

    Apart from that we have also added ability to ?set default template for a table. If you have set a template as default, whenever you add a layer to map config, the template that has been set as default would get applied to that layer.

    Thanks Abhiraj; I hadn't realised that, and haven't had a chance to use the patch release yet. Currently I am editing the templates manually. The setting of a default template will also be useful. Within this template, can you specify that the first n fields will be shown (rather than naming fields explicitly)?

    Actually, the ability to specify SQLs as when creating View Tables within Spatial Manager would be nice. I haven't had a chance to do too much with the templates yet so am not sure what's possible.

    @James Nolet? I just confirmed - "Hide this section when value is null" would work as expected in the patch release- the bug has been fixed. When this setting is checked and value for a specific column is null- the section would not leave any blank space- it would simply ignore it.

     

    The need regarding "show first N fields" was unknown, can you please share why and how you'd like to use it?

    If this approach is meaningful and important for several other users as well, we would add it to backlog for future release.

    Thanks, Abhiraj. I was just thinking that if creating a template that will be used for multiple tables, the tables currently need to contain common field names. I would like to apply a default template to multiple tables that have different field structures. If I can specify that only the first 2 fields are to be included, I can then make sure that the first two fields in each table contain the most important information.

    1. I tried to add a photo but It's not showing up.
    2. I understand we can now edit templates but I can't find a link/button to allow me to open an existing one. My workaround has been just to create a infotemplate with all fields and then change the html file like in the pre 12.2.

     

    With PB Support we figured that you can call any value prefixing "data." before feature as in pre 12.2 so {{data.feature.Photo_path.value}} instead of {{feature.Photo_path.value}}

     

    For ex. In IE the following works

    Add an image

    <a href="file:///G:\GIS_Tables\Vector_Data\Infrastructure\Facilities\Openspaces\{{data.feature.Photo_path.value}}"target="_blank"><img src="file:///G:\GIS_Tables\Vector_Data\Infrastructure\Facilities\Openspaces\{{data.feature.Photo_path.value}}" alt="Open Image: {{data.feature.Photo_path.value}}" height="95%" width="95%"/> </a>

     

    Add a link

    <a href="{{data.feature.SMIS_MAP.value}}">Open SMIS Map

    I would like to see a custom field option where you can build Text, URL or Photo by combining fields and text, essentially so I can achieve what @George Corea? has in his first example.
