What is <mapWidgetID> in the document and where to find it?

Hi Everyone,

Where to find this map widget ID mentioned in the document?

https://doc.arcgis.com/en/experience-builder/latest/build-apps/url-parameters.htm#:~:text=com/experience/%3CAppId%3E%23-,%3CmapWidgetID%3E,-%3Dactive_datasource_id%3A%3CdataSourceId%3E

Thank you

Hi @GeeteshSingh07

I'm afraid you cannot find the <mapWidgetID> from the builder. But there's way to find it at run time:

Go to Experience settings -> Manage URL status.
Turn on the toggle of the map widget that you wish to find <mapWidgetID> from. Make sure at least one option in the popper is enabled.

Save the app and go to Live View or visit the published link.
Change the map extent, you'll see the map widget parameters are added to the end of the URL, starts with a hashtag, like this: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/2ff3c55185da438e86cd10f0f82f5322/?draft=true#widget_1=active_datasource_id:dataSource_9,center:12704174.417054582%2C2577413.034325546%2C102100

widget_1 is the <mapWidgetID> of this map widget. The reason that the <mapWidgetID> is not available

to users in the builder is that this ID is not very readable.

I never would have found it without your post!

The method from @Shen_Zhang works, but it can be hard to find the correct widget in the URL if there are several listed. Here's another way...

Using the Developer Tools feature in the Chrome browser, you can search the page source and find "widgetid". The widget ID values will be to the right after the "=". The widget will also be highlighted on the web page and you can use that to figure out which widget has which ID.

Hi Shen

We are using Enterprise version 11.1 - don't have the Settings cog. Is this only in Developer edition of Experience Builder or later versions of Standard Experience Builder? Is there some way I can locate the Map Widget ID from this version?

Thanks
