Multiple APN Search in WAB

EmilyL — Thu, 17 Oct 2019 17:06:00 GMT

Hello,

Is there a way to search for multiple APN's (Assessor Parcel Number) in Web App Builder? Currently under the 'Search' widget, we can search for one APN at a time, but is there a setting that allows users to enter and return multiple APN's at once?

Thank you very much!

Emily

Emily,

My eSearch widget allows you to set the sql to:

"APN IN ('[value]')" and then enter all your values comma separated.

Hi Robert,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I've tried the following in both searchable feature layer and geocoding service, but both said no results. Am I missing something? Is the eSearch same as the 'Search' widget in WAB?

APN IN ('935370063', '935370062')

Emily,

No the eSearch is a custom widget available here

https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-1731-enhanced-search-widget-version-213-092519

The standard OTB search widget is not capable of searching multiple entries.

Thank you, Robert. I need to look into it!

Is there any downside when it comes to using customized widgets? Such as re-configuration when there is an update or new version on WAB?

Most custom widgets will continue to work unless esri releases a breaking change.

Thank you Robert.

Esri should just build in all your custom widgets. 😃
