Search widget - locator source - show point and popup

JoeRogan — Thu, 23 May 2024 17:19:45 GMT

I'm trying to get the Search widget in ExB 1.14 to show the point and popup of the result when the map pans and zooms to it. Currently this seems to only work for feature layer sources, but not the locator. This was the normal behavior in WAB and with the JS API widget. It's unclear to me how the Search widget in ExB is working, there isn't a goToOverride function anywhere or similar that I've found. I appreciate any suggestions!

I've experienced similar, you can do a panTo, zoomTo, or flash, but highlight doesn't seem to be possible, nor is dropping a pin in 1.14.

lol. I literally just did this (needed to bug Esri since it isn't obvious).

Pin on map:

Select the "search" bar
Go to "Action" tab
Click "Add a trigger"
Select "Records created"
Select your data source/map
Select "Show on map"

Zoom to point:

Same as previous steps, but select "Record selection changes" instead of "show on map"
Select your data source/map
Select "Zoom to"

Thanks! This worked for highlighting the location, no popups, but I think this is good enough!

Does anyone know if search result popups are now working at 11.4 or 11.5? It's not on 11.3.

Would also be useful to have the option to place a marker at the location, as with the WAB version.

@David_Brooks Given a solution has already been accepted perhaps this should be its own stand alone question?
