I am using Collect Values in Model Builder to collect the results from 6 separate iterative processes. Each iterative process allows a user (through the GUI) to select a number of environmental variables under specific themes (1. Water, 2. Biodiversity....6. Climate) and apply a user weighting (1 to 3). Each selected indicator is then multiplied by the 'weight' in Raster Calculator and the results of the theme are stored in Collect Values. The next phase of the model uses Cell Statistics and Clip routine to produce the final output. The model works fine but I would like to be able to limit the GUI to only allow a max of 4 of the 6 theme results to be sent to Collect Values. At the moment Collect Value accepts all 6 Theme results. I'm looking for some ideas on how I can get the GUI to only let the model progress (Submit) if a max of 4 of the potential 6 Themes are selected. The image below shows the GUI with a number of Themes (Water, Culture etc) indicators and user defined weights visible. The second image shows the actual model with the 6 iterative results going to Collect Values Also - any advice on how I can get a tooltip to appear when there is a mouse-over on the Submit button would be great thanks Justin ...

Hi, I've created a GeoProcessing task that allows users to select a series of variables from a choice list. The results of which are sent into a raster calculation process. Unfortunately the variable names are very long and I'd like to be able to use an abbreviated version of the variable names and have a tooltip displaying the full name when the user does a mouse over. Another alternative would be to use a Label but for some reason I can't get either of these to work. For example, National_Inventory_of_ArchHeritage would become 'NIAH' as the variable name with a tool tip displaying ‘National Inventory of Architectural Heritage’. See image below and a snippet from the widget config containing the variables <param type="multivalue:string" name="Water" required="true" visible="true"  label="Water">             <choicelist>                 <choice value="Aquifer_Vulnerability" />                 <choice value="GroundSource_Protection_Areas"/>                 <choice value="RPA_Recreational_WaterAreas"/>                 <choice value="RPA_Recreational_WaterLakes"/>                 <choice value="WFD_GroundwaterStatus"/>                 <choice value="WFD_NutrientSensitive_LakeStatus"/>                 <choice value="WFD_NutrientSensitive_RiverStatus"/>             </choicelist>         </param> Any suggestions or comments welcome Thanks Justin ...

I have a geo-processing model that works perfectly in ArcGIS desktop (10.1) and successfully publishes as a GP Task to ArcGIS Server (10.1). Once I try to execute the GP task (either through a widget on Flex or even as a tool in Toolbox on Server) it fails with the following error message: ‘Problem ESRIJobFailed Failed’. On further inspection of this through running the tool via Arc Toolbox on Server I get a ‘000816: The tool is not valid’ error. I’m not sure what the problem is here as the model and subsequent python scripts within it work perfectly on Arc desktop. A simpler version of the model that did not include any python scripts also worked fine and was successfully deployed as working GP tasks on my Flexviewer. Any ideas on what the issue might be? I’ll use a simplified version of my model as a working example – The model asks a user to (1) select a pre-defined study area (Select Study Area), and then (2) allows the user to select from a list of raster layers (1, 2 or 3 – this doesn’t matter) to be included in the analysis. The user can then (3) apply a weight to these layers that are used in a raster calculation process. The model then takes each layer that is selected, apply a weight to it, stores the results until all layers are processed and the uses Cell Stats to bring all of this together. The final output is then clipped to the geography chosen in (1). This all works fine on Desktop but the model seems to trip up as it works through step (2) – this is where the Python scripts are. The python scripts have been included to allow users to select or de-select the layers rather than simply using them all (this was the previous version and it operated on all layers in the Air and Climactic.gdb). Model 1 below is my main model and details where the first python script is used. This script ‘Select Factors.py’ enables users to select from the list of layers available. Once these are selected they are then sent through a sub-model (Model Iterate) that runs all of the raster calculations and finally adds the results to Collect Values (The Collect Values shown here actually collects values from ‘Air and Climactic’ as well as a number of other themes that are in the full model). The second python script (LayerNametoPathName) is in this sub-model and it stores the layer and workspace name for use in the Raster Calculation process. The rest of the model just processes the collected results and clips to the study area. Main Model (model 1) Sub Model As I mentioned, this works in ArcGIS Desktop and it publishes as a GP task without any issues. Unfortunately it just won’t run on Server or on my Flex! Any suggestions on what the problem could be would be great. Thanks Justin ... View more

Hi, I have developed a pretty detailed geo-processing widget (based on a model I built and published) that takes user input, runs raster calculator and then clips the raster output to a boundary. The tool works well and the results are displayed in Flexviewer 3.5. While I'm happy with this I now want to expand the widget functionality and include additional functions such as data extract and print functionality.  I'm wondering what is the best way of achieving this? Do I need to build this into the original model or is there a way of merging the functionality of other widgets into my geo-processing widget? Any advise of how to proceed would be much appreciated.
