Idea: The Bookmark widget is great for allowing different themes to be viewed on one source map. However, I would like to allow the user to choose their extent and view different themes within that extent, rather than the map zooming to the pre-set bookmark extent every time. Workflow context: Dataset: species data containing 7 themes; Natural Resource Region (NRR), Population Units (there are 5 within the NRR), Landcape Units (there are many within each Population Unit). Workflow: I want the user to be able to... View data at the NRR level, which works fine with current bookmark settings Select a Population Unit to zoom to, and view different themes at that extent without returning to NRR extent - does not work with current bookmark settings Select a Landscape Unit from a list, which will then open a new page with specific stats related to that Landscape Unit. I also want the user to be able to view different themes at the Landscape Unit extent without returning to the NRR extent - does not work with current bookmark settings Why Bookmarks vs. Layer List: I understand that the layer list would technically allow different themes to be viewed by turning layers/groups on and off, but in conducting user testing for this app, my users find this confusing given that the layers will cover each other - ie. it is not intuitive to them that layers higher in the list cover layers lower on the list. As this app is designed to serve the public eventually, I want to make it as user-friendly as possible. Having bookmarks would be much more user-friendly if the "zoom to extent" component could be toggled off. Other efforts to work around: Using a List to allow the user to zoom back to the Population Unit / Landcape Unit in question: since much of my app uses Selections to generate stats specific to a given Unit, this is not viable, because the list will unselect something that is already selected if it is clicked again. Map  Actions: I've tried setting map actions so that the maps will zoom to a certain extent, but the bookmarks override these actions 'Zoom to selection' option on Map Widget: the users do not notice or know to look for this option in user testing / I can't move it to a more noticeable place on the screen or really alter it to make it pop   My other option seems to be just making 7 different maps, which is probably what I'll do in the meantime. ...

I am embedding a dashboard in experiencebuilder via a URL. In this case, I am not using URL parameters. My issue is that the embed widget is reloading the dashboard every time I navigate away from the page or view and then return. This feels like it is clunky from a user experience perspective, as my users are often navigating between views to compare information and the reloading interrupts their workflow. I would like to suggest an option within the Embed Widget that would allow you to stop the widget from refreshing every time the view is changed. ... View more

Goal: having the ability to filter a Chart either by selecting feature on Map or scrolling to feature in Feature Info widget Issue: it does not seem to be possible to allow the user to filter chart both from the Map and from the Feature Info widget at this time Alternative solution: allow scrolling between features to be disabled on Feature Info Widget Configuration 1: Map Action - Feature Info - no Actions directly impacting Chart Expected behaviour: When record selection on map changes, either through clicking the map or scrolling through the Feature Info widget (which then selects record in map), Chart will be filtered Actual behaviour: Chart is filtered when feature is selected in map, but not when feature is 'selected' via scrolling through Feature Info widget   Configuration 2 Map Action - same as Configuration 1 Feature Info - Action set to filter Chart: Expected Behaviour: When record selection in Feature Info or Map changes Chart will be filtered Actual Behaviour: Chart is filtered when selected in Map, but gives INVALID CHART error when scrolling through Feature Info:   Configuration 3 Map Action - none Feature Info - Action same as Configuration 2 Expected Behaviour: When record selection in Feature Info changes, either scrolling through Feature Info widget or clicking on map, Chart will be filtered Actual Behaviour: Chart is filtered when scrolling through Feature Info widget, but defaults to no filter (ie. all features) when selecting record in map   ...

The current Filter Widget behavior is: - if data source = "default", Filter applies to map widget and every Widget accessing that dataset regardless of whether widgets are sourcing "default" or a data view - if data source = data view, Filter applies to widgets where data source = data view, but does not apply to map widget I would like to suggest that either: - Filter data source = "default" only applies filter to widgets where data source = "default" Or - Filter can apply to map automatically regardless of data source, with an option to turn map filtering on or off    Thank you! ...

Right now, the EB query widget spatial filters will generate outputs showing the attributes of spatial datasets that fit the chosen spatial relationship, but does not generate spatial information specific to the relationship. I would like the option to also get the area of intersect between spatial filters and the query layers, for example. ... View more

Would like to have the option of creating a custom template (HTML or PDF) for Query Widget results to be fed into. Right now, the report takes the form of an attribute table and allows for basic customization of the header in HTML (which is a nice feature!). I would like to be able to generate an HTML or PDF report that allows for more control over look and feel, and which can be made available to the user for download. ... View more

Currently, you can get results for one query layer within a defined area using the query widget. However, if you want results for multiple query layers, you need to do so layer by layer, and you can't carry the same drawn shape between those layers. I would like to have the option to apply spatial filters (filter layers, drawn shapes, or map extent) to all desired query layers at once and generate an output showing the results of all queries. For example: Query Layers: nest site points, stream network lines, land use polygons Filter Layer: custom AOI 1. Draw custom AOI 2. Select Query Layers to act on, eg: Nest Sites & Land Use 3. Return results for selected query layers within custom AOI ... View more
