While not replacing the same tool, the Generate Schema Report tool might help. It sounds like the future plans include a data model diagram option. ... View more

@Jianxia After using Esri products for 30 years now, I am getting pretty frustrated with the current Esri strategy around new product releases. ArcGIS Pro was released long before it was comparably feature complete or stable as compared to ArcGIS Desktop. There are still important features of ArcGIS Pro that don't work as well as in ArcGIS Desktop (e.g., Model Builder). Avoiding feature regression and instability should be fundamental principles of software development and no amount of new features make up for these lacks. It is fine to release it in "Beta" but don't release as a 1.0 product until it is actually done! The same thing is true of Enterprise Builder and WABDE. Did you ask users what our priorities for features to migrate were? Experience Builder has been out for quite a while and yet it still cannot replace many features of production apps built using WABDE. That is very disappointing! Until Experience Builder is comparable in capabilities, you should still be promoting WABDE as the best solution, and EB as the "next gen", experimental solution. One more thought: release all widgets for EB on both AGOL and Portal at the same time. At least, publish two matrices of widget migration so developers can make platform choices. ... View more

I haven't tried this but the Esri help on Map.openView() may suggest the route forward for you... openView ()   This is useful if the map view is not already open or another view is active in the application. The method creates a map view zoomed to its default extent and activates it. To close other, existing views before opening a new view, use the ArcGISProject closeViews method. There are two techniques for controlling the desired extent of your map view. First, prior to opening the view, you can set the defaultCamera for your map. Second, you can change the MapView camera extent after it is opened. So, you can presumably do the following: Get a map object from listMaps. Set the defaultCamera for your map to the extent of the selected features Open the map with ovenView, which activates it and applies the extent of the defaultCamera. Good luck! ... View more

Hello Robert, Are you still actively maintaining these widgets? What is your plan going forward? I imagine many folks are thinking we should move to Experience Builder, but my experience with that so far is that WABDE is still miles ahead in features and available Esri and custom widgets. I am particularly wondering if you would be interested in making some tweaks to the eSearch widget. I heavily rely on it in many of my apps and it has some annoying features that create work for me, but seem like they would be easy to fix. Regards, Nick ... View more

Layers filtered by the Filter, Group Filter, and Select widgets are not respected in the Query widget either. The layer being queried is not filtered and also the layer used in a spatial filter to select does not use the selected or filtered features only. ... View more

I would like to see the following also: 1.  Select multiple, non-adjacent features into a selection set with shapes (i.e. enable placement of multiple selection shapes before Apply). 4. Support add-to/remove-from (in addition to the current create-new) operations on selection sets (should also apply to the Select widget). ... View more

I have submitted this as a feature request as have many others. The multiple-layers approach really doesn't work well for some of my use cases. I want, for example, a polygon layer that turns to points as the scale gets small (zoomed out). The hitch is, I want the user to be able to select polygons and have the selection switch to the points as they zoom out. This would be for a Esri JS API web app, so manually synchronizing the selections between two layers and toggling visibility based on scale is possible, but tedious. Any better ideas folks? ...
