More Analysis widget woes

DougBrowning — Fri, 24 Oct 2025 16:57:06 GMT

Users getting confused when they start a Analysis widget job they get a green check and think its already done.

And then the progress bar goes right across the text.

Then to actually get the results you have to click on the tool to expand it. Everyone is confused on this.

Can this get changed please.

Also seeing if we set some tool options on Tool 1 then we open Tool 2 that has the same options - its somehow picking up the settings the user make in Tool 1 into Tool 2 automatically if the options match. We really do not want this.

Next we are seeing that if we open two different tools from Set As they will use the same window for the Analysis widget. But if we open one from the widget controller and one from the Set as they stack. This pushes the second one opened off the screen and makes it unusable. Then if you try and de-expand the top one both close. If you close either than both close. Seems to get confused if you open it two different ways. Looks like a bug.

See the second Other one at the bottom that is impossible to use.

I have a different post on our selections woes with Analysis widget also that is here https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-questions/select-widget-cannot-connect-to-analysis-widget/m-p/1626374#M19453

Thanks a lot

@DougBrowning Thanks for your feedback, I have submitted issues for these two:
1. "Users getting confused when they start a Analysis widget job they get a green check and think its already done."
3. "But if we open one from the widget controller and one from the Set as they stack."

But I cannot reproduce the second problem "Also seeing if we set some tool options on Tool 1 then we open Tool 2 that has the same options - its somehow picking up the settings the user make in Tool 1 into Tool 2 automatically if the options match. We really do not want this."

Can you share more details about this problem? Are you adding custom gp tools? In same Analysis widget or separate widgets?

Sorry let me try to explain better.

I open up Tool 1 and check this option box here in blue

I then open Tool 2 which has the exact same options and that same option box will already be checked.

So it seems to cache the toolbox options by name and not by tool and name. So now any tool that has that same option name will default all the same.

I hope that makes sense.
