beta

TrackInfo provides information about how to display and analyze temporal data in a layer. This information includes how to render the latest observations, previous observations, and track lines. It also includes information about how to aggregate data and display popups. TrackInfo is used in the StreamLayer and FeatureLayer classes.

Properties

Any properties can be set, retrieved or listened to. See the Watch for changes topic.

declaredClass

readonlyinherited Property
Type
string
Inherited from: Accessor

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

enabled

Property
Type
boolean

Indicates whether the track info is enabled.

Default value
true
Example
trackInfo.enabled = false;

fields

autocast Property
Type
AggregateField[]

An array of aggregate fields that summarize layer.fields in all observations of the track. Only visible observations are included in the aggregated data. Observations filtered out because of maxDisplayObservationsPerTrack or maxDisplayDuration are excluded from any aggregate field calculations.

These fields may only be used by the popupTemplate, and by the TrackPartInfo.labelingInfo and TrackPartInfo.renderer of trackLines.

Example
// Based on the fields in the layer, the following track info fields
// could be defined:
trackInfo.fields = [{
name: "total_observations",
statisticType: "count"
}, {
name: "AVG_speed",
onStatisticField: "speed",
statisticType: "avg"
}];

latestObservations

autocast Property
Type
TrackPartInfo

Configuration properties for displaying the latest observations.

Example
trackInfo.latestObservations = {
renderer: {
type: "simple",
symbol: {
type: "simple-marker",
style: "circle",
color: "red",
size: 10
}
}
};

maxDisplayDuration

autocast Property
Type
TimeInterval | null | undefined

The maximum age of displayed observations. Observations older than this will not be displayed. Age is calculated by subtracting the time indicated by timeField from the view.timeExtent.end. For StreamLayer, age is calculated by subtracting the time indicated by timeField from the system time. If no duration is specified, or if its value is 0, then displayed observations will not be limited by age.

Example
trackInfo.maxDisplayDuration = { value: 30, unit: "seconds" };

maxDisplayObservationsPerTrack

Property
Type
number

The maximum number of observations to display per track. If the value is 0, no limit will be imposed.

Default value
0
Example
trackInfo.maxDisplayObservationsPerTrack = 10;

popupEnabled

Property
Type
boolean

Indicates whether to display the popup for the track as defined in the popupTemplate.

Default value
true
Example
trackInfo.popupEnabled = false;

popupTemplate

autocast Property
Type
PopupTemplate | null | undefined

The PopupTemplate to apply to the track. When set, a popupTemplate independent of the layer.popupTemplate is used. This popup can display summary information for each track, such as feature count or any other field defined in fields.

The PopupTemplate may contain one or more Arcade expressions following the specification defined by the Arcade Feature Reduction Popup Profile. Expressions must return a string or a number.

Example
layer.trackInfo = {
fields: [{
name: "avg_speed",
alias: "Average speed",
onStatisticField: "speed",
statisticType: "avg"
}, {
name: "total_observations",
statisticType: "count"
}],
popupTemplate: {
content: [{
type: "text",
text: "This track contains <b>{total_observations}</b> features."
}, {
type: "text",
text: "The average speed in this track is <b>{avg_speed}</b>."
}],
fieldInfos: [{
fieldName: "avg_speed",
format: {
digitSeparator: true,
places: 1
}
}]
}
};

previousObservations

autocast Property
Type
TrackPartInfo

Configuration properties for displaying previous observations.

Example
trackInfo.previousObservations = {
renderer: {
type: "simple",
symbol: {
type: "simple-marker",
style: "circle",
color: "blue",
size: 10
}
}
};

timeField

Property
Type
"timeReceived" | "startTimeField" | "endTimeField"

Indicates which field from the layer's TimeInfo will be used to calculate observation ages for maxDisplayDuration. The timeReceived option is the system time when the client received the observation, and is only valid for StreamLayer.

Default value
"startTimeField"
Example
trackInfo.timeField = "timeReceived";

trackLines

autocast Property
Type
TrackPartInfo

Configuration properties for displaying track lines.

Example
trackInfo.trackLines = {
renderer: {
type: "simple",
symbol: {
type: "simple-line",
color: "green",
width: 2
}
}
};

fromJSON

inheritedstatic Method
Signature
fromJSON (json: any): any
Inherited from: JSONSupportMixin

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
json
any

A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns
any

Returns a new instance of this class.

clone

inherited Method
Signature
clone (): this
Inherited from: ClonableMixin

Creates a deep clone of this object. Any properties that store values by reference will be assigned copies of the referenced values on the cloned instance.

Returns
this

A deep clone of the class instance that invoked this method.

toJSON

inherited Method
Signature
toJSON (): any
Inherited from: JSONSupportMixin

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() guide topic for more information.

Returns
any

The ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
