Connecting a Feature Layer and a Button to Change Section View

Hello,

I'm trying to replicate the function in this example Web Experience from the ESRI Project Gallery:

You can change the Section View on the right either by making a selection in the map or clicking one of the page buttons above. I'm unable to find a way to replicate this using button triggers. I'm able to use the buttons to change the Section View, but I can't find a way to link the map feature selection. I would think there should be an option under select a target-data, but there are only "clear data selection," and "clear data filters," which are the opposite of what I want.

Three Rivers. Is this your work, @Amanda__Huber?

@Amag140696 happy to answer your questions!
You're not too far off but we used a visual trick here since buttons couldn't do what we needed. The number "buttons" on the top right use the list widget with the same source data as the map. Our action is set at the map level to trigger for record selection changes.

Then our image widget uses dynamic attachments and our information at the bottom with audio is all using the Feature Info widget.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions for how we configured this 🙂

Best,

Amanda Huber
