Sidebar Instant Application

JayHodny — Wed, 25 Jan 2023 22:08:10 GMT

Hi. I have a project that could benefit from the Sidebar instant application. I have used this application in the past. I no longer see Sidebar as an option in the Instant App selector. Is this particular application no longer available?

I need a simple application that places the pop-up on the side (not floating) and allows one to access Survey123 via a link in the pop-up. In this link, we are also passing data into fields in the Survey form. The old Basic Viewer application sort of works, except when I set the pop-up to lock on the side, the pop-up is empty except for the Survey link. If the pop-up is floating, then all content is visible as is the Survey123 link. In either pop-up locations, when I click the link, the survey opens, including passing data into the form. The Minimalist app works too, almost. The pop-up is anchored on the left and shows the content and the Survey link. However, when I click on the Survey link, none of the data are passed into the survey form. And I cannot change the reference basemap in this application.

Any ideas, thoughts, help would be much appreciated. Sincerely, Jay

Sidebar is still available in the Instant app gallery. You can find info on creating an instant app here: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/instant-apps/latest/create-apps/gallery-landing-page.htm

Hi Kelly,

Thank you. I do see Sidebar in the ArcGIS Online Instant App launcher. However, I failed to mention this application is for internal use on the ArcGIS Enterprise platform. I don't see the Sidebar option when I choose Create Web App of a web map Item details page. In Enterprise, is Sidebar not available? Also, any thoughts on why the pop-ups in the apps don't always honor/show the pop-up content set in the Web Map? Many thanks again for your help. Regards, Jay

Jay,

Just ran into this same hurdle. Did you ever any more news on Sidebar coming to Enterprise. Frustrating.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

I have not heard anything more on the Sidebar coming to Enterprise, or anything more on the "missing" information in the pop-up depending on whether its anchored or floating. We are still at Enterprise 10.9.1, so I don't know if Sidebar, etc., is available in 11.x, but to be fair, I haven't inquired either.

Regards,

Jay

Sidebar is available in Enterprise 11.2 however, I've just placed a ticket with ESRI as the sidebar appears at the bottom of the page rather than the side!

I'm experiencing the same behavior on Enterprise 11.2 @CraigCroxford It'd be great if you could loop us in on any responses from ESRI. Thanks - I wasn't going mad after all!

ESRI Australia has sent the issue on to ESRI US. I'll keep you posted.

The Esri Inc team has completed a thorough review of the matter and has acknowledged it as BUG-000163830. Unfortunately, there is no workaround available at this time.

Great!

Hi @CraigCroxford is this resolution for this one still unknown as far as you're aware? Such a shame as this promises to be a useful application

Hi ChrisH2, this issue has been addressed in ArcGIS Enterprise Portal 11.3 which we updated to at the end of last year. All is working as expected now.

thanks Craig, great to know. We're on Enterprise 11.2, so it's good to know there's a fix ahead of us
