Esri's Make an Impact with Modern Geo Apps massive open online course (MOOC) is a no-cost learning opportunity for you to explore the potential of ArcGIS Experience Builder (and other modern geo apps).

New features added in Near Me for February 2025 release.

New functionalities:

• Added support for data view

Web AppBuilder functional parity

Export to PDF:

We added Export to PDF functionality in Near Me this release.  This functionality is similar to Report functionality we have in Web AppBuilder Screening and Situation Awareness widget.

        If export is allowed in your layer, you should be able see this option at the Batch Export level.

If you do not need customized layout, advanced reporting capabilities and/ or want better performance exporting to a .pdf file is the simplest way to generate report with Near Me result data. The file will include title, map, legend and Near Me analysis results. You will be able to add a custom title and choose print layout.

If sorting and export fields are configured, the functionality will reflect those settings in the report.

Save:

Another major enhancement we worked on this release is, Save functionality. Users now can save input location (drawn graphics, searched or selected feature that is being used as input location in the analysis) and search area when target layers are configured. The configuration option is added to the Results section. At runtime, Save button will appear at the top menu bar along with Export, Clear and Refresh button.

Clicking on the Save button will open corresponding layer’s feature form. The Feature forms can be        configured to show selected fields in the Map Viewer. It will honor all the settings of the forms.

Version 1.16 developer edition adds Express mode, Accordion widget, and Subtype group layers for modeling utility network data. It also reduces the size of downloaded apps, provides four code samples, and documents more APIs and Storybook components.

Express mode makes app building easy. Other highlights include new Accordion widget, support for Subtype group layers, new draw text tool, and custom filters.

With last night's ArcGIS Online update, ArcGIS Experience Builder introduces Express mode, designed to make app building easy, enabling you to quickly and efficiently make engaging apps. Choose from a variety of templates to begin creating a new app, then follow the streamlined workflow to complete your experience.

Use the mode toggle in the upper right to go from Express mode to Full mode and vice versa.

The app templates are similar to the Web AppBuilder classic templates.

New features added in Near Me for November 2024 release,

New functionalities:

• Added support for Subtype group layer data
• Added support to view related records
• Added a loading icon that is interactive so user can cancel out analysis process when analysis process takes longer.
• Support data actions at the selected feature level(Zoom to, Pan to, Show on map, Set location and Plan route when Direction widget is configured).

WAB functional parities:

• Automatically update results based on map area extent. This functionality works with Map widget's Extent change -> Filter data record message action and Near Me's Current map area search method, when these are configured, Near Me will automatically update results with extent change. Another suggestion in this scenario is, please enable client side query in the Map widget for better performance.
• Show results on map for all configured layers regardless of their visibility status (added new configuration parameter in the Results section)
• Near me to return only intersected features (configuration parameter that will only available for polygon features when configuring Closest or Proximity analysis)
• Add support to use Near Me result as input location (configuration parameter added in the results section)
