Draw widget - Add option to draw text

ZoevdbAT — Tue, 26 Apr 2022 08:46:10 GMT

Please add an option to draw text with the draw widget in the Experience Builder!

In the draw widget in the WAB you can add text elements to the map. I'd like to use this for my maps used in the Experience Builder as well.

Thanks in advance!

I agree 100%! There is often a time when text needs to be added to a map for instructional purposes, or just as a quick reference that is not a part of any of the connected data. This is heavily used in my organization and in my own consulting. We really need this option!

Completely agree with both of these points. The ability to add text on the Draw widget is a must - I've replaced an old version of a map which was on WAB but nearly every user has mentioned that you are unable to add text like on WAB. I'd also suggest having an arrow style (as on WAB widget) would be very useful still. Please, please look into getting these features added on EB!!

I think this is a must!

The text and arrow options should have been implemented from the start. What is the timeline to implement?

Agree we have users requesting this feature that was available in WAB.

100% agree, this seems like a complete oversight.

And given that WAB is being "retired" in favor of Experience Builder, it is even more critical to put this tool in.

Please make this reality, as soon as possible.

100% agreed. This is badly needed functionality.

This lacking functionality in the draw tool is a dealbreaker to upgrade a number of my organization's apps.

Absolutely agree. Make it so.

I'm curious as to why/how this hasn't been included with (or even before) the Draw widget. Does anyone have an answer or an ETA on when it will be added to ExB?

I Agree, this is a much-needed option!

JoanneO_Keefe — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 13:26:53 GMT

Yes. I agree. Why hasn't this been added? Users draw symbols and text on our maps. Seems like an oversight that still hasn't been implemented.

I completely agree, having the ability to caption your drawing seems fundamental. We are all eager to know the status of this implementation.

Please add "TEXT" to the Draw Tool. Markups without a label are often not helpful. This should be an easy fix.

Re: Draw widget - Add option to draw text

Eliot_Reid — Wed, 19 Jul 2023 16:24:46 GMT

Agreed, this is heavily needed for us. All our clients use Text markups in the Draw widget and we are feeling the lack.

My work around is creating a point feature with a 'display text' set as the label field. Then the users can edit the layer to create the feature, input the text they want displayed, but the symbology will be transparent so only the text label appears.

Adding text alone or associated with a point line or polygon would be awesome.
