Drop-down widget

rogue_recon

Are the drop-down widgets in the images below stock in Experience Builder, or are these custom? Here is a link to the experience to see it yourself.

I have a project where I would like to do something similar and show data by the year, week, and mgmt area/city, and I have been at it for hours trying to figure out those drop-downs. I will create layers that can be turned on and off, but I would like to do it this way for aesthetics and ease of use. Any suggestions/answers would be much appreciated!

That looks like an ArcGIS Dashboard embedded inside of an Experience Builder app. Those dropdowns are category selectors in the dashboard header.

It is May 2026, and there is still no designated drop down widget.

I did find a native ExB solution if you're looking to display unique values as a dropdown though: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-questions/drop-down/m-p/1513708/highlight/true#M14023. Still, this solution does not work for my use case of wanting to condense a Section's 15+ Views as dropdowns instead of horizontal/vertical buttons.

Bumping this. It's crazy that there is effectively no way to accomplish a filter by related-table in Experience Builder or Web AppBuilder, but the functionality was drag-and-drop in Dashboards a decade ago!

The result is that any data used in Experience Builder needs to be flattened to a single table, which is horrible. If you use joined views to accomplish that, it locks your schema.

It's like ESRI hates properly-refactored data. 🙄

Is there an update to this question? Why doesn't Experience Builder have a drop down widget? Creating a Dashboard and embedding it in ExB has limitations, and creates additional content. Why can't this widget be in ExB?

I had to go look, it's called a category selector:

You can adjust the settings and what happens when a category is selected (e.g. filter, zoom, etc).

EB is great for this functionality. You can embed dashboards, Instant apps, web pages and much more. It makes it much more useful then WebApp Builder.

I have similar things on my dashboard which I embedded in a story map. This looks like, as Jennifer said, they embedded a dashboard in an experience builder. You can definitely create a dashboard with the drop-downs.

Interesting! I will take a look at doing that. Is that pretty common to embed a dashboard in EB?
