Creating a Report Widget

LucaMang — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 06:34:03 GMT

I am very new to the whole Web AppBuilder area and such.

I would like to create a widget that allows me to get a pop-up by clicking on a feature and then create a report of it in PDF form.
In principle, the functionality would be a combination of Robert Scheitlin's Pop-Up Panel and the built-in Situational Awarness Widget.
Any help that would allow me to either customize Robert Scheitlin's widget (if that is allowed of course) or create my own widget with said functionality would be greatly appreciated.

Alternatively, if someone could explain how I could go about coding the pop-up with said button, I would also be very grateful.

Thanks in advance

Hi Luca

Is this in Portal or AGOL? The below worked for me using Portal.

I had a very similar user case where a user selects a record and it populates a Word document template and there is a way to get a pdf from that (see the comments in the link for the pdf bit)

After much searching I stumbled upon this which is actually quite easy to implement:

(Not sure what your appetite is for python though)

I created a python script geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS Pro which I then published to Server and exposed using the geoprocessing widget in WAB.
