Possible to use {$Feature} token with workflow 5?

Hi. I'd like to pass a feature as an input parameter to my workflow. Via a hyperlink in the result for a search or maptip. So, firstly, is this possible? I have seen examples using $Geometry, but not $Feature. If yes, how would I get access to the geometry and attributes of that feature in my workflow?

 

Thanks

  If your goal is to get at the geometry and attributes of the feature you should use $Graphic. This will be an instance of an Esri Graphic (https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/3/jsapi/graphic-amd.html) which has properties for the geometry and attributes.

   

  You can use $Feature. This will be an instance of a GVH Feature (https://docs.geocortex.com/essentials/gvh/2.10/api-help/classes/_mapping_infrastructure_amd_d_._geocortex_infrastructure_feature_.feature.html) which has an esriFeature property that is the exact same thing that $Graphic provides. I would recommend using $Graphic instead of $Feature unless there is something very specific about $Feature that you need.

   

  For anyone looking for the documentation on this you can find it here https://docs.geocortex.com/workflow/latest/help/Default.htm#wf5/help/run-workflows-in-gvh.htm#Use_a_Hyperlink_to_Run_a_Workflow_with_Inputs%3FTocPath%3DRun%2520Workflows%2520in%2520the%2520Geocortex%2520Viewer%2520for%2520HTML5%7CRun%2520a%2520Workflow%2520with%2520Inputs%7C_____1.

  Ryan, thanks for the info. I have this working. For anyone interested, you can reference geometry and attributes like below:

   

  geom: =$getWorkflowInputs.inputs.graphic.geometry

  attr: =$getWorkflowInputs.inputs.graphic.attributes.FACILITYID

   

  The link would be like <a href="command:RunWorkflowByUrlAndInputs?url=url&graphic={$Graphic}">Create Redline</a>
