URL parameters for two layers with different fields

DebSF — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 14:57:21 GMT

I've been looking at all the guidance and posts on here but still can't figure out if this is possible.

I'm using the following URL with parameters embedded into a "shell" Experience Builder app:

https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/<app_id>/?data_filter=<data_source_id_1>:reference%3D%27%27#data_s=where%3A<data_source_id_1>%3Areference%3D'{appURL.search.RefParam}'&zoom_to_selection=true

The data_filter hides all features by default, and when the user runs the shell app they just need to put in the RefParam so that a single feature shows up, i.e. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/<app_id>?RefParam=<user_inserted_ref>

This all works fine for my purposes so far.

However I now want to add in a second layer with the same behaviour. i.e. the second layer is filtered to hide all features and then the user just adds the ref to show a single feature. My difficulties are:

- I can't figure out how to add two data_filters to the URL, it just doesn't seem to apply the second one

- Even if I get this sorted can I add in a second appURL? The field name that I want users to input for the second layer is different to the first - i.e. it's "reference" for the first but just "ref" for the second.
