Hi Team, 

We are looking to limit our users ability to rotate within the map widget on one of our applications. We have found that some of our users have accidentally rotated the map, and are unable to get back to the default view. In the application there is no need for the rotate function to be used, and so we would like to disable it. 

Currently, the only option for disabling the rotate functionality is to un-toggle the enable scroll zooming option. We would still like our users to be able to scroll in and out using the mouse. Is it possible to separate the scroll and rotate capabilities into two toggles so that one can be enabled/ disabled, without the other?

Thanks!

This must have been an oversight on the part of the ExB team. This is a fundamental option that is included in WAB that needs to be in ExB.

Yes indeed, please allow us to disable just rotation.

Toggling off the scroll zoom does not disable the right-click and rotate for me, besides, scroll zoom is a desirable feature for us. I would also like to see a way to disable rotation of the map in either map viewer or XBLD. This configuration is available in some of the Instant Apps.

in the map tools you can toggle on the compass so that when clicked it reorients you to north, still would be nice to just disable rotation entirely though.

My field crews say that sometimes when panning or even hitting bumps on the road the map rotates and I really need a way to be able to turn this off. ENH-000176211

Please add the ability to toggle on/off and reset rotation. Lots of users especially for 911 do not need the hassle of accidental map rotation while using an experience for emergency response.

Please add a toggle for map rotation. Very frustrating trying to zoom in and out on smaller devices and you start rotating the map. Should at least have a reset button.
