How to create widget group and drop down in header controller

DanNorman — Wed, 19 Aug 2015 17:44:20 GMT

Has anyone figured out how to create widget groups as mentioned here: Controller widget—Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS | ArcGIS

i can not find to option to set a widget to "show in drop-down menu". The help file above makes it sound like a check box in the widget configuration accessible through the web app builder, without having to modify the code.

Thanks!

Don

Donald,

In the Header widget configuration just grab a widget that you want to group with another and drag and drop one on another. This creates a group.

within the widget panel of the Web app builder interface, click and drag on on top of the other.

Robert,

Do anyone know how to configure to show drop-down menu with the option of choosing a widget to be active instead of activating all the widgets in the groups?

Hello. I have a few groups of widgets that I would like to display in a menu as in the image above. Here's the setting in the documentation:

Controller—Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) | ArcGIS for Developers

So, groupSetting=dropDown needs to be added in the config.json, I think. Did you draw the image above, or is it from a real WAB app? If it's in a WAB app, we just need to look at the config.json file. I hope that helps.

EDIT: I see that you already saw that page in the docs. So we just need to figure out how to add it to the config.json. Lame.

headercontroll widget config.json 设置对应的要显示的groupsetting 为 dropDown，默认为openAll

Hello guys. Is anyone having the same problem as mine? I already have my app, however, when I put the code below in the config.json of the Siderbar Controller, nothing happened. Am I doing it right? Thanks!

Aldwin,

If you can not do this using the WAB ui then it is not supported for that theme.

Got it! Thanks Robert!

I changed my theme, anyway.

I had to read through a few posts and esri docs to fully understand this.

Per ESRI:

Header Controller is associated with the Foldable theme while Sidebar Controller is associated with the Tab theme.

my config is located at: ..\configs\HeaderController\config_themes_FoldableTheme_widgets_HeaderController_Widget_1.json in my project.
Here is the json code:

{
"groupSetting": [
{
"label": "GROUP LABEL",
"type": "dropDown"
},
{
"label": "GROUP LABEL",
"type": "dropDown"
}
]
}

If you are unsure of the group label name, it should match the config located at ..\config.json
