Experience Builder: Filter Table by Map Extent

lzk222 — Tue, 18 Apr 2023 23:41:06 GMT

Add Existing Filter Table by Map Extent functionality to Experience Builder.

I have to say, it is disappointing that ESRI puts out a replacement application that is inferior to old application (WebApp Builder). There are so many basic tools lacking in EB that it is hard to transition to it.

Hi @lzk222 ,

You can add an Extent changes message action to the map widget.

@ShengdiZhang this is good to know, thanks. I don't necessarily want this as the default behavior. I would like the user to have the option to filter based on extent. It's my understanding that setting this trigger is permanent and would give the user no optionality on table results.

Additionally, it is not realistic time/effort wise for me to add these triggers for dozens of tables across dozens of maps. I believe a simple non-trigger solution (button) would be a robust table widget enhancement .

Please revert the status of this request. I would like to see this implementation as a button option as shown in the WebApp Builder that gives user control rather than something that is hardcoded in the background. The code clearly already exists. I don't think it's too much to ask to have this integrated into ESRI "new and improved" map UI.

@ShengdiZhang @lzk222 I 100% agree and think this functionality needs to be in place. As we have more than a dozen layers in our map / ExB app, setting the trigger one by one is very time consuming. Agree also with the sentiment that users don't have the ability to choose whether they want it filtered by the map extent. Web App Builder had the toggle button to filter by map extent and that is exactly what we need.

I agree, I would also like to see it as an option for the end user at run time.

@Tiff I completely agree. The web app builder functionality in this regard is far superior compared to the experience builder implementation. Would love to see that change soon.

Glad to see others have noticed this. I can't rightly move to ExB without this functionality.

In ExB, the Table Widget has no "filter by map extent" button or even an extent change trigger. The recommended workaround is to set up a "record selection change" trigger in the Table or filter Framework by extent on the Map. Those workarounds are limiting, confusing for users, and don't provide a spatial query of all the data layers in a visible extent.

Bring back the "filter by map extent" option in the Table widget!

Any plans to get this in next version of (Enterprise) Experience Builder? I really agree that this needs to be fixed.

Also looking for this functionality in the near term; one of many things making ExB much less out-of-the-box than WAB even though WAB was relatively easy to develop for, even for non-developers.

Any updates to this? We're trying to move to EB with WAB being retired but every time i try to get something that looks and feels like what my users are familiar with i run into a dead end.

Preach! Looking for this too, especially as Esri will be retiring WAB very soon (Dev edition retiring July 2024). Difficult to transition to ExpB when baseline functionality is not available.

So WebApp Builder was retired before the filter by extent functionality was added to the Experience Builder table widget? I just moved our main maps to Experience Builder, and this was one of the first things brought to my attention.

Just encase someone from Esri reads this, the extent changes work around is not practical because my users used to toggle the filter on as needed. They do not want the filter by extent on all the time with no way for them to turn off.

A quick update for everyone concerned: Filter table by map extent feature is in progress and targeting this October release.

Re: Experience Builder: Filter Table by Map Extent

Shen_Zhang — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 06:23:17 GMT

Filter Table by Map Extent is now available in "Interact with a Map widget" mode since the November 2024 release.

Hi @Shen_Zhang thank you for the update, but quick clarification. It looks like now there's two options - "Select layers" and "Interact with a Map widget". Clicking the second option warns that you will reset your configurations. I have more than 20 tables set up in my ExB and would not want to reset anything. I was thinking that the "Filter Table by Map Extent" was going to be an option in the settings for the existing table configuration. Can you help advise?

Shen_Zhang — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 06:31:14 GMT

@Tiff - I'm afraid it’s not possible to retain the current sheet configurations when switching to the ‘Interact with a Map’ widget. The previous settings were cleared because layers not part of the map need to be excluded, and it’s challenging to maintain these settings while the table widget is synced with the map.

@Shen_Zhang do you know when it will be available in Enterprise?

Re: Experience Builder: Filter Table by Map Extent

Shen_Zhang — Sat, 08 Feb 2025 09:43:48 GMT

@jstaszel It will be included in the upcoming 11.5 this May.
