Hello,

wouldn't it be great if Esri developped a Web AppBuilder-Widget to change the layer list in combination with the background maps similar to the ChangeWebMap-Widget of the GeoNet-Community?!

ChangeWebMap Widget 

In the web apps of the geoportal of Karlsruhe there are several needs to change the layer list and background map. I succesfully implemented the GeoNet-Widget in the menus "Themen" (english: "layer list") and "Zielgruppenkarten" (english: "maps for target groups") as you can see here:

ArcGIS Web Application 

It works but the disadvantages are

  • few configuration possibilities
  • you have to create a web map for every combination of layer list and background map
  • the order of the web map-list can't be defined
  • the web app always restarts when changing a web map
  • in case of problems after updates I would prefer to use Esri-Widgets to get full support

So please like my idea if you are also interested in such a widget

Greetings from Germany
