It seems as though it parses the map layers to find any which contain a TimeInfo property and then queries those map services with the appropriate date parameters. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>It would have been nice if this was mentioned somewhere in the documentation instead of having to discern it from the sample provided.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 10 Feb 2014 16:49:54 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-javascript-maps-sdk-questions/time-slider-explanation/m-p/414811#M38183 jamesmuir 2014-02-10T16:49:54Z
