Introduction
This guide is aimed at experienced Dynamics 365 consultants and shows how to extend the core functionality of Maptaskr for Power Pages to allow portal end-users to interact with layer features as part of a data submission process. It is assumed that readers have a knowledge of JavaScript, experience configuring Maptaskr and have access to layers and permission to expose them to a public website.
Please do your due dilligence when selecting an appropriate layer. Even publically available datasets may have licensing and/or usage restrictions.
Typically, Maptaskr for Power Pages is used to allow end-users to draw or upload polygons. This tutorial will cover configuring the PCF in a form to enable users to directly interact with layer features rendered on the map. Selecting a feature will populate a form field. Using this form field, you can then extend a view/edit form to navigate to the user-selected layer feature and highlight its boundary.
This guide will also demonstrate how Maptaskr for Dynamics and Power Apps can be configured to allow internal users to view the portal user's submission within the Dataverse record.
Please note that this tutorial has been written to suit the functionality and capability of Maptaskr v2.2.2.58 and above.
If you are using an older version of Maptaskr, then this guide will not be applicable and you will be required to upgrade to the latest version.
