The actions for a category selector of a feature service based on grouped values are not available in ArcGIS Dashboards

Description

In ArcGIS Dashboards, actions describe changes in a dashboard when users interact with the dashboard’s elements. For example, the flash, pan, and zoom actions are used to interact with a map element.

In some instances, when configuring a category selector of a feature service based on grouped values, the actions to interact with the map element are not available, as shown in the image below.

Cause

This is by design when using feature services based on grouped values in ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0 and earlier. The flash, pan, and zoom actions of a dashboard are only available when the element’s data source references an ArcGIS Online hosted feature layer.

Solution or Workaround

Upgrade to ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1

Upgrade to ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1 and later as the flash, pan, and zoom actions are implemented in the latest ArcGIS Enterprise release. Refer to How To: Upgrade to ArcGIS Enterprise 11.x for instructions.

Configure the feature service’s category selector based on the features

In ArcGIS Dashboards, on the Data tab, select Features from the Categories from parameter, and click Done. Refer to ArcGIS Dashboards: Category selector for more information.
