Report Feature widget

The Report Feature widget enables you to collect and manage data quality feedback from users. Users can report existing features from the map that are in error or require additional review. They can also identify missing features by sketching them on the map. Feedback is stored as a Reviewer Result in your geodatabase, where it is assessed and managed through a defined life cycle workflow.

The Report Feature widget requires the ArcGIS Data Reviewer Server extension and uses services available from the Data Reviewer ArcMap-based runtime server object extension (SOE).

Configuring the Report Feature 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.)

1. 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.

2. Optionally, click the Change widget icon button and replace it with your own image.
   A file explorer window appears, allowing you to select a local image file to use as the widget icon.
3. Provide the Data Reviewer Server URL, and click Set. The associated sessions in this new URL map service will populate the Default Session drop-down list.
4. Choose how the Reviewer Technician attribute of a result is populated. Options for populating this attribute are as follows:
   • Logged in Username—The active portal user name will populate the attribute.
   • Enter a default value—A predefined value will populate the attribute.
   • Allow user input—The user provides a value during submission.
5. Choose the reviewer session to use as your default session from the drop-down list, and click OK.

   The Reviewer result will immediately save to the session you chose as your default session.

6. By default, all layers in the current map are enabled for error reporting in the widget. To exclude one or more layers, uncheck the check box in the Include column.
7. To edit the alias name of a layer, double-click the current Alias name and type a new name.

   The layer alias value is used only for display purposes in the widget’s UI. The layer value is used to populate the resourceName attribute of a result.

8. Click OK to save and close your new configuration of the Report Feature widget.
