How to run external command, for example "identify" in vertiGIS Workflow

Is your question on Geocortex Essentials Workflow (your screenshot) or on VertiGIS Studio Workflow?

And what is your viewer application.

Assuming Geocortex Viewer for HTML5, there is an Identify command, but the command parameter is a geometry.

https://docs.vertigisstudio.com/essentials/gvh/4.14/commands-help/#/commands/Identify/Identify

My question is on VertiGIS 5.20

I am trying to build workflow in vertiGIS, and I try to translate those command in the GVH to be similar in VertiGIS

Best,

Lubna

Then you should use the Run Command activity.

https://docs.vertigisstudio.com/workflow/latest/help/Default.htm#wf5/help/activities/run-command.htm#Run_Command_Activity

You can find the available commands here:

https://developers.vertigisstudio.com/docs/web/api-commands-operations-events/#commands

Here you can find the Identify operation:

https://developers.vertigisstudio.com/docs/web/api-commands-operations-events/#operation-tasks.identify

I will try it, thank you

Hi,

I built a workflow that makes a query for 3 values and it runs successfully with zooming to the result but it fails to make the identify task on the selected feature.

I used 2 command (get centroid and run command “task.Identify”) as shown in the below screenshots

Json code is below,

I will be very appreciated for any help :)

Hi again,

I used get centroid because of the result of my query is polygon not point, so I think it will not working well if I run the Identify task without get centroid, but still is not working with me

best,

Lubna
