ExB Import Data widget

GISUser74305830 — Tue, 06 May 2025 18:49:34 GMT

Looking for a widget (perhaps 3rd party?) that would function as an Append or Load Data, to allow the user to import data into an existing layer inside of ExB. The Add Data widget is nice, but our business case is to load the data into the layer.

Would a copy/paste functionality in the Edit widget address your needs? We're currently exploring an enhancement that would allow users to copy features and paste them into another layer.

Hello Tian,

Thanks, but that wouldn't do the trick. The idea is users could take CSV or SHPs and load it into the data. Of course the tool would probably need some kind of field matching menu to make it work. But that is the ask. If it's not available right now, just let me know so I can tell the client it's not possible. Then we'll just pursue another method.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, it's not available right now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@TianWen just following up. I'm trying to do what's mentioned in this:

https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-questions/custom-web-tool-to-append-data-to-hosted-feature/m-p/1581934

I've already shared a basic Append result as a Web Tool. I just want the user to be able to append a temp layer in Runtime instead of choosing an Item from Portal.
