Select polygon from point feature selection

Hi all,

Just beginning in the workflow building, but I'm stuck on some logic that I must be missing.  Here is the process I'm trying to accomplish.

1. User Searches for an Address (point features)
2. Selects appropriate return from drop down list
3. Highlight feature returns 

(These steps are all acomplished in a workflow) - add in the following steps

1. From the point selection, use the geometery to select a parcel polygon feature
2. Highlight feature extent
3. Zoom to selection set

Selecting a polgon and zooming to it is working via a workflow as well, what I'm missing is how to move from a point feature selection and select polygons from the points.  

The SelectFeatures task in the workflow, seems to return the geometery but I can't seem to find how to pull that value into the next QueryTask.

Any direction appreciated!

Thanks!

Brian

  I can send you my address search workflow if you like - email me at sblazey at victoria.ca.

  Basically I use a SelectFeatures activity to select the features from the address point layer (the result of the Query Task).  Then I use a UnionTask, where the Feature Set is the variable from the result of the query task, and the result of the union task is a new "selectedGeometry" variable.  Then use a Query Task where the Geometry is your "selectedGeometry" variable, and the result is a new FeatureSet "Selection" variable.  Then use another Select Features activity to select the "Selection" feature set from the polygon layer.

  I just wrote that paragraph and I hardly understand it, so like I said I am happy to send you my workflow.

  Cheers,

  Stephanie

  Hi Stephanie

  good explanation that may have been better as abullet list so the reader can pause at the end of each line to consider what is going on   ;-)

  • use a SelectFeatures activity to select the features from the address point layer (the result of the Query Task). 
  • use a UnionTask, where the Feature Set is the variable from the result of the query task, and the result of the union task is a new "selectedGeometry" variable. 
  • use a Query Task where the Geometry is your "selectedGeometry" variable, and the result is a new FeatureSet "Selection" variable. 
  • use another Select Features activity to select the "Selection" feature set from the polygon layer.

  Regards

  Thanks Ralph and Stephanie!  That worked perfectly.  I guess I should have hit the forums up earlier this morning rather than the few hours of beating my head against a wall.  Thanks again for the help!!

   

  Cheers!
