Refresh MapView Programmatically

Muhammad_AzhaziqBin_Mohd_Azlan — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 08:18:01 GMT

Hi,

In Experience Builder is there a way to refresh the map view programmatically?

My scenario as follow:

1. User A - current open map view in Experience Builder
2. User B - Add some record on the layer connected to map view via AGOL
3. User A - Click on a custom button to refresh the map to fetch latest data

(3) scenario for table widget is supported out of the box. However, for map widget it doesn't. I did try to enable auto refresh at data source level, but the map view did not update too after the auto refresh ran.

I did try to drill down the mapView object and try to get the feature layer and execute refresh but no luck on this path too for Experience Builder.

Anyone managed to overcome this?

Not working for experience builder. It does work for vanilla js map viewer. Not quite sure why.

@Muhammad_AzhaziqBin_Mohd_Azlan Please set the refresh interval for the data source. This maybe work.

Tried also. It doesn't work. It does update the data since I can the table reloading but not the map view.

Having said that my client wants to have control to refresh the data something like refresh button we have for table widget..

Hello,
Any update ?
Is it possible to simply refresh the map or a feature layer programmatically in Experience Builder ?
