Sidebar Instant App: Export to CSV is broken

N_W_S_E — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 19:18:35 GMT

In the attribute table, clicking the ellipses and selecting 'Export to CSV', nothing happens. No download is started and no matter how many times it is clicked, a download does not occur.

Is this a bug? Other instant apps allow you to download a .csv file, however, I believe the 'Export to CSV' function in Sidebar instant app is broken.

Using Enterprise Portal for ArcGIS 11.5.0 (Build 56755).

Can you please check if you are allowed to export at the feature service level?

Hi@N_W_S_E

No, it is not broken, just kindly turn off Express Mode to access the full configuration settings. ArcGIS Instant Apps uses Express Mode by default, which provides a step-by-step guided configuration and is primarily designed for rapid app creation.

In the configuration settings, enable Layer List and Show Table. Once enabled, you can easily open the table and export it to a CSV file, as shown below. I hope this helps a bit.

Best,

Faiez

Express mode was already turned off, and I tried in both Edge and Chrome. Nothing happens.

I also tried with a creator > admin privileges and also viewer, data editor privileges. In the hosted feature layer settings, I have these enabled:

When I click export to CSV, a single point briefly gets highlighted in yellow, but no downloads start.

Export was not enabled since I am not wanting to export a layout (PDF, JPG, PNG). I want to export a csv of the table via the table.

When I enabled 'Export' it still did not work.

@N_W_S_E

Could you take full-page screenshots, one for the Sidebar tab and another for Interactivity tab?

ArcGIS Instant Apps are continuously updated by Esri developers and don’t use formal version numbers. Updates roll out alongside ArcGIS Online, while Enterprise updates are managed by each organization. The latest changes, from October 2025, include new templates, improved configuration, and alignment with current web mapping standards. You can clearly see the difference between my sidebar an yours, as yours appears to be from 2022 while mine reflects the updated interface.

Updated: October 2025 ,This is the one I'm using.	Updated: 2022 ,This is the one you are using

Yes, I understand how Enterprise works, I am using 11.5.0 (Build 56755) (i.e., the latest version before 12.0, which ESRI only advises to upgrade if absolutely necessary). Our organization is waiting for 12.1 since ESRI recommends that it will be a more stable version.

I would have assumed that Export to CSV would have been addressed in 11.5, but I guess not.

@N_W_S_E

I knew you already knew it, no doubt at all. I just believe people learn best by sharing thoughts and ideas. It looks like the full screenshot wasn’t shared, is not it?😊

Just sharing the below screenshot in case it helps, there’s some useful information about ArcGIS Instant Apps and the Template Capabilities Matrix with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5.

I'm also sharing a very helpful link about Instant Apps, highlighting the Sidebar template updates introduced in June 2022 ArcGIS Online release, very useful for anyone exploring ArcGIS Instant Apps.

Good luck and have a nice time.

I tested with a Sidebar instant app and export to csv is working for me. Is your app public?

N_W_S_E — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 17:27:17 GMT

It works in AGOL, but not in my enterprise version 11.5. Are you using enterprise? If so, what version?

Re: Sidebar Instant App: Export to CSV is broken

Please see the following screenshots.

I am using AGOL, and it works well. In your case, I believe the issue lies with ArcGIS Enterprise version 11.5.

Thanks for the sidebars screenshots.

Hi @N_W_S_E,

I have tested using a Sidebar Instant App in Enterprise version 11.5, and 'Export to CSV' is working for me. Does this issue occur across different datasets and when using different web maps in your Sidebar app? Also, is your data hosted or referenced? Does the behaviour differ when using one or the other?

All the best
