Hey All,

 

I want to add a "Clear All" option when right clicking.

 

This would including all highlights, markups etc.

 

In Silverlight there was an option create a batch tool through the admin but I understand this has to now be done in the Json.  Can anyone provide an example they use so I get the syntax right?

  Hi Chris,

   

  I would recommend doing this through a workflow, and then adding the corresponding workflow to the right click menu through the viewer management pack; no JSON editing required!  

   

  Adding a workflow to the right click context menu would use the same syntax as adding a workflow to the toolbar or I Want To menu: RunWorkflowById, and the ID of the workflow.  

   

  I'd be happy to whip up a quick example workflow if you'd like.

   

  Thanks!

  Danny beat me to the punch, and his suggestion is the more prudent approach, as manually editing json takes you into "here be dragons" territory, but -- for what it's worth -- you could add this to the MapContextMenu: { "iconUri": "Resources/Images/Icons/Toolbar/clear-24.png", "text": "Clear all", "description": "Removes all markup and clears the current selection", "batch": [ { "command": "ClearMarkupQuiet", "commandParameter": null }, { "command": "ClearSelection", "commandParameter": null }, { "command": "ClearHighlights", "commandParameter": null } ] }

  Thanks Guys,

   

  Both ideas are what I was looking for..I didnt think about doing it through a workflow but that definitely makes sense.
