Creating a Client View of an Experience Builder Application

ClangDevGuy — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 18:51:58 GMT

Hey, I am reaching out to see if anyone has experience with the concept of "switching" to a client view-mode. This mode would apply filters to a data source to show only what the client should see. I am using Experience Builder Dev Edition with several custom widgets, so creating separate "client" apps would be a hassle when deploying updates.

Additionally, it would be great if the template and some of the widget configurations could also change.

Thanks!

Hi @ClangDevGuy ,

I am afraid there is no "view control" in ExB apps yet. However, if you want to display filtered data to client, maybe you can try using the URL filter parameter as a workaround. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/experience-builder/latest/build-apps/url-parameters.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_0A01682276CD4E7985CA7E222BD648C1

Hey @DanJiang,

My only concern with the URL filter is in terms of privacy and hiding sensitive data where there is not too much security with just changing the URL.

Thanks for the response. I will probably have to go a more custom approach leveraging the JavaScript API instead of using ExB.
