Select widget woes

davidchamberlain2

Hi,

I want to be able to select all the data from multiple layers that are inside the boundary of another polygon in experience builder. I  have parish polygons and I want the user to click on one and get a return in the popup that includes all the data from the other layers that are partially or wholly within it. I have messed with the select widget settings for hours but it wont play ball. The layers are selectable individually. I have set up the parish layer as the selecting layer in the widget. Does anyone have this working and can share how they have set this widget up to do this?

Thanks

Hi Dave, yes you would have to specify the layers in an Arcade expression and configure the popup according to your layers/expression(s). Possibly a better user experience but you'd have to decide if maintaining is worth it if your map layers change frequently.

If you decide that the Select widget is the way to go, this seems to work for me:

1. Enable "spatial selection" on the Select widget configuration, with your parishes as the selecting data.

2. Open your Experience and open the Select widget (unless it's configured to open automatically on load).

3. Click a parish to select it.

4. In the Select widget, activate the tool by clicking the button in the upper right so it turns blue**, then click the dropdown and choose Select by Data:

5. Click Apply:

 

Now your features from the other layer are selected:

 

 

** I wonder if this is where you're running into trouble, since it doesn't really make sense to me that you would have to activate the interactive selection tool to use Select by Data, but you do.
