Experience Builder Offline

AlisonKeener — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 15:47:51 GMT

Hello,

Does anyone here have experience with taking Experience Builder offline? We are considering developing something for our field staff to use on their Windows 11 laptops now that Field Maps has been retired from the Windows Subsystem for Android. As we are considering our options, it would be really helpful to hear from the from the actual users on the pros/cons of using ExB disconnected from an internet connection. For example, does the cached data render quickly? Is it easy for the user to refresh the cached data? Does the navigation widget work well with no network connectivity? etc...

Hello Alison,

As far as I know, ArcGIS experience builder can't tale data offline. You'll be able to add data via the 'Add data' widget but you're still quite limited. I don't think

If you are just recording data on laptops, have you considered installing Bluestacks, an android emulator?

Normally its meant for playing mobile games on a computer but it can run any android application on it, including field maps. Which would be useful if you want to collect data with no internet connection.
