what is the WF5 equivalent of "capture geometry" ?

I need a function to allow user select features on map (user drags a box then workflow will select all features in the box). the 'Geometry Picker' works but requires quite some clicks. is there a simpler UI?

 

Also I want to know, does the custom activity work on mobile offline mode?

  Hello Zhijie,

   

  You are correct in that the Geometry Picker is the equivalent to the Capture Geometry. There are existing feature requests present for this form element to be automatically active when displaying the form and for submitting immediately after creating a geometry.

   

  In terms of creating offline GMAF custom activities, it should be possible but this has not been tested directly. If you host your custom activities in a virtual directory within GVH, then the GMAF bundler will include them when creating the offline bundle.

   

  Thanks, Stefan

  Thanks Stefan,

   

  about 'offline GMAF sutom acitivies' I have tried what you suggested (host your custom activities in a virtual directory within GVH, then the GMAF bundler will include them when creating the offline bundle.) but have no luck.

   

  with the chrome-devtool attached to 'Geocortex Mobile App Framework (Windows) 2.3.1' I can see that the activity files/folder are copied, but when workflow runs it still trying to hit the original server as configured in ArcGIS online, not localhost

  another thought is if there is a 'Dynamic External' activity then I can call a custom external. but I only found a "run command activity". Will the 'Dynamic External' be added in Workflow5?

  I will ask one of the members of the GMAF team about that issue and get back to you.

   

  Currently, there are no plans to create a Workflow 5 equivalent of that activity. It might be possible to use a Run Command activity to execute the RunWorkflowById activity that runs a v4 workflow containing a Dynamic External.

   

  You might consider contacting our Support team as it is difficult to discuss and debug more complex issues.

  Thanks Stefan

   

  My understanding is 'Run Command' activity will finish instantly and can't wait for user interaction .

   

  I need a way to run some custom code (outside of work flow) then when it finishes (for example when user click a button), the workflow continues to the next activity.

   

  A lot of our custom module are based on the 'Dynamic External' activity. We are trying to use workflow 5 more and migrating existing workflows to WF5. It will help us a lot if we can have the 'Dynamic External' activity back in WF5.

  Thanks for the clarification. Please add a request to the Ideas section for this functionality.

  @Stefan Schweigert? Any development on the Geometry Picker to get functionality like the old Capture Geometry with submission directly after entering a geometry? Would it be possible to put some logic into the geometry picker's change event to submit the display form?

  Hello Jostein,

   

  I don't have any updates to this issue currently and I'm not aware of a method to submit the form without user interaction.

   

  Thanks, Stefan
