Query widget buffer distance is inaccurate

ScottKiley — Fri, 22 Jul 2016 19:18:28 GMT

The Web AppBuilder Query widget's buffer distance is inaccurate for me. The distance is about 36.5% too short. For example when I enter a distance of 300' and then measure the buffer, it's actually only about 220'. The "Near Me" and "Situational Awareness" widgets both create accurate buffers when configured for the same app, so I'm guessing it's something with the query widget. Is there something in the Query widget configuration I'm missing that can help me with this?

This image shows a buffer that should be 1,320' but only measures about 951'.

Here is a link to the app:

Hi Scott,

It is a bug of Query. We will fix it in next release.

Scott,

This bug is fixed on ArcGIS Online version.

WAB developer edition 2.2 will be released in weeks.
