Experience Builder - Bookmark Widget - turning layers on

SaraBellchamber

Hello,

I'm having an issue. I have an EB built that includes some bookmarks to zoom to particular areas. I've also defaulted the view to only have about half of the layers turned on. The user needs those layers but does not need them turned on all the time. Recently (in the past few months?), using the bookmarks also automatically turns ALL of the layers on. This is frustrating and annoying. I noticed that there is an option for "Ignore layer visibility". I have tried both modes (checked & unchecked) and both options result in all layers being turned on when I use the bookmark. Is this a known problem? How can I make it so that clicking on a bookmark DOES NOT alter the layers I currently have turned on.

Thanks!

"Ignore layer visibility" option means when you save new bookmark, it will not remember the layer visibility changes you make. With this option on, in runtime, if you turn on/off some layer visibilities in Map, and then clicking any of the bookmarks, it will zoom to the location, but the map layer visibility will not be affected (it will still be what you set to the web map).

Correct. This new feature will realize in Enterprise 11.5.

I have 2 maps and several bookmarks in a scrolling page. I tried turning on Ignore layer visibility but it wasn't working as expected. What did work was: Change the bookmark view, opening layer list, turn off layers, save. Ignore layer visibility is unchecked. I think the bookmark web map settings should respect the settings of the web map.

This option was added in the last ArcGIS Online update (June 2024). It is not currently available for any addition of ArcGIS Enterprise.

Thanks! I'm using version 11.3 in Portal and I don't have that check box.

I closed the browser , reopened, and created new bookmarks, and it included the newly added layers.

I'm having this issue and I can't find the 'Ignore layer visibility' check box. Where do you find it? Is it in the bookmark widget controls? A screen shot would help me.

Unless I'm mistaken, this should be: To honor your layer visibility setting of your bookmarks, please make sure you check off ON "Ignore layer visibility". The terminology appears to be incorrect. Or the code got reversed. If I am mistaken, I am happy to be publicly shamed. 🙂 For me checking 'Ignore layer visibility.' honors layer visibility.

It appears as though 'Ignore layer visibility' is just a very confusing term. Either that or the code got flipped. 'Ignore layer visibility' when it is checked RESPECTS layer visibility. When it is unchecked, it IGNORES layer visibility (ie it shows everything). I think the label needs to be changed to 'Respect layer visibility.' That way, when it's turned on, the result is intuitive.

Hi all,

Update: My bookmarks are sourced from within the webmap that is in my Experience. (I think this is the only way to add bookmarks to EB, but wanted to be explicit just in case there's another option). With my EB closed, I went into each bookmark and systematically deleted and recreated each one and gave them the exact same name and kept them in the same order. I didn't want to have to update the widget config any more than needed.

Then, opened EB and within the EB/Bookmark widget I have "Display bookmarks from webmap" and "Ignore layer visibility" checked on. This did the trick.

I'm having the same issue.

Same. I turned off the 'Ignore Layer Visibility' option and my bookmarks are still turning every layer on.

@SaraBellchamber1 @LucasFellure thanks for your feedback!
To honor your layer visibility setting of your bookmarks, please make sure you check off "Ignore layer visibility". Also are you able to share your application for us to troubleshoot? Thanks!

I'm having the exact same problem on my experience builder.

Jeff.Thompson@arlingtontx.gov_arlingtontx

I'm guessing that the issue here is that you created the bookmarks before the Ignore Layer Visibility option was added. Try deleting and re-creating your bookmarks with this option turned on.
