A common need of our users is to be able to select feature within a distance from a geometry. The typical need is to select parcels at least of 50m from a pipe.

To give them satisfaction we developed a cutom selection toolbar in Web AppBuilder to give thme the opportunity to do it easily.

There are existing ways to select by a buffer using the Query, Near Me, or Analysis Widgets.

Thanks @JeffreyThompson2, I saw the Near Me widget approach but, as you know, it's complicated to explain user they have to use several tools to select features depending on how they want to do it.

I'll try Query widget a bit more to see if it could fit.
