Hi folks,

Is there any way you can remove any ‘added’ layers after using the “Add Layers from an Esri portal” tool? 

All I seem to be able to do is change the Layer Transparency. it's be nice if the user can actually remove the layer, as you can do in essentials (amongst other things like dynamic labelling)

thanks

Gareth

  Hi Gareth,

  What do you have configured in the Layer Actions menu for the Layer List component? Here's an example screenshot from a Web GIS Default VSW app with a layer I added from my Portal:

  Hi, is there a way to control a layer’s delete and reorder behavior through a workflow? I have a workflow that allow the user to dynamically adds a layer from either a WMS service or MapService, but I haven’t been able to find a way to  allow the web user the ability to delete or reordering that layer. Any help appreciated. Thanks

  Hey Aaron
  do you use the ‘Add Layer to map’ activity from the ArcGIS Maps SDK in your workflow to add the layer to the map?

  In my experience, layers added using this activity are not treated as dynamic layers in VGS Web.

  My solution was calling the VGS Web API within the workflow instead, using the ‘Run Command’ activity and executing the ‘map.add-layers’ command.
