I have an old Web AppBuilder application that we are deprecating and would like to add a Splash Screen to direct traffic to a newer version of the app. The app was built in Web AppBuilder Online and about 2 months ago I made a copy of the app and added a Splash Widget to the copy. The changes were approved and now I need to apply the changes to the production app, but I do not get an option to edit the application. I am also not getting an option to edit the copy that I WAS able to edit as described above. I own both applications and I have editing permissions. I am able to edit all other applications, WAB and EB. Can anyone let me know what I might be missing?? ... View more

This is a serious limitation unless I am missing something. The WAB version allowed the user to select a Filter type, or operator, from a dropdown menu which is essential for filtering by date(s). I can't find a way to configure this in the EB version, so hopefully I am just overlooking something.  In the Expression Builder, it is only possible to select a single operator for each Group Filter, which means I need to create a new filter for each operator type which means I would need to create up to 12 filters for a single field?  Please tell me I am missing something!  ...

Not sure if this is the best forum for this question since it involves EB Developer, but I'll just post in multiple spaces. We are migrating all of our web applications (mostly built with WAB or EB developer) from on premise servers to Azure Cloud (ArcGIS Enterprise) servers. This also means that all of the associated data, web maps, etc. will also be migrated which requires re-sourcing the applications and all associated widgets to the newly migrated maps and data. This cannot be done from within the developer environment (gui) which leaves us with 2 options. Rebuild the applications in the EB Dev version registered to the portal to where the associated maps and data have been migrated, or use a code editor to modify the app config files with the new map ids, and layer urls. Since we have over 20 apps to migrate, the first option is not viable and I have been successful modifying the config files without breaking the apps. The side effect to this strategy is that that I am now editing an application in a version of EB developer registered in a portal that doesn't match the portal where the map and data are located. Because of this, even though I created a custom BM Gallery containing US Edition basemaps in the target portal, I have no way of importing them into the Basemap Widget. Also, unlike the success I had with the web map and other data sources, modifying the BM Gallery json in the config file doesn't work for some reason. I also tried adding the basemaps by URL, but I don't know exactly how to configure the URL correctly. I can tell you that if I paste the URL into a browser window it take me to the ArcGIS Portal Directory page for the item and the BM Gallery is also shared with the public. Appreciate any ideas on how to proceed, or does this require a custom Basemap Gallery widget? Not sure what's going on under the hood with the Basemap Gallery and I really don't have the time to try and modify the widget code.   ... View more

I need to migrate many Experience Builder Developer applications to our new Enterprise Portal and thought I found a somewhat automated approach using ArcGIS API for Python. https://developers.arcgis.com/python/latest/guide/experience-builder-workflows/ The upload function, however, is throwing an error and I can't make any sense of it. Here is the code: from arcgis.apps.expbuilder import WebExperience from arcgis.gis import GIS #Establish a GIS connection to the target portal. target_portal = GIS("https://gistest.name.com/portal", "myuser.name") print(target_portal) Enter password: ········ GIS @ https://gistest.name.com/portal version:2024.1 # pass in a path to a local config.json when instantiating experience local_path = r"C:\WebDev\EBv1.16\downloaded-apps\myexbapp\cdn\3\config.json" local_exp = WebExperience(gis=target_portal, path=local_path) local_exp.datasources Output {'dataSource_2': {'id': 'dataSource_2', 'type': 'WEB_MAP', 'sourceLabel': 'Fish Range Search Map', 'itemId': '0f727a3fa60c42bea404xxxxxx', 'portalUrl': ......} new_item = local_exp.upload( gis=target_portal, publish=False, title="Fish Range Finder Test", auto_remap=True) new_item throws error: NameError Traceback (most recent call last) In [49]: Line 1: new_item = local_exp.upload( File C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\Lib\site-packages\arcgis\apps\expbuilder\expbuilder.py, in upload: Line 783: test_gis = GIS(url=url) NameError: name 'GIS' is not defined ---------------------------------------------------------------------------   Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? I don't know what 'GIS' name the error is referring to. The GIS module is defined and if it wasn't I would be getting an error in the first code block.  ... View more

We are being asked to replace all of our basemaps with US Edition (Gulf of America) and I am having trouble doing this with my older WAB Developer applications. Esri docs say that the 3x api considers basemaps to be operational layers and this is not the case with the 4x api. I tried replacing the basemap id in the main config file with an id from a US Edition basemap, but the app fails to load. Probably just missing something, but I have been working with EB for the last year and a half and forgotten a lot when it comes to WAB. ... View more

I have a couple of older Web AppBuilder Developer applications that I am unable to migrate to Experience Builder in the near future, but the basemaps are showing 'Gulf of Mexico'. I need to update them to the US Edition basemaps that show 'Gulf of America', but just changing out the itemid in the config file doesn't work. Since these are developer apps, I cannot use a Web Map as the data source, the basemaps are brought in from the map property in the main app config:   "map": { "3D": false, "2D": true, "position": { "left": 0, "top": 40, "right": 0, "bottom": 0 }, "itemId": "3dbbb8f6d83c481381decdb150963858", "mapOptions": { "xmin": -9709952.034114238, "ymin": 2694438.048228905, "xmax": -8633718.675859243, "ymax": 3653264.1310379007, "spatialReference": { "wkid": 102100 } }, "id": "map", "portalUrl": "https://myfwc.maps.arcgis.com", "mapRefreshInterval": { "useWebMapRefreshInterval": true }   Changing the itemid to a US Edition basemap id causes this to happen: I don't know if this is a compatibility issue with the newer basemaps and JS 3x, or if there is something I am not doing. I just need to know if this is possible or am I going to have to rebuild the apps in EB in order to use the newer basemaps. ... View more
