Batch Attribute Editor in Experience Builder
Real-world Problem: First responders are working on an Urban Search & Rescue team during a tornado or flooding event. To organize their search operations, they use a Web AppBuilder product called Intel Manager within SAR Common Operating Platform (SARCOP) to quickly create search segments and monitor what has been searched. By using the Batch Attribute Editor widget within Web AppBuilder, first responders can quickly select numerous points that they previously assigned as "Needs to be searched" and change this attribute to "Complete - No Follow-Up Needed." This workflow is critical to minimize time spent searching for disaster victims and reduce duplication of effort. Many teams work within the same app. The ability to filter to a specific attribute (e.g., Team Name) while selecting for a batch attribute edit is also significant to reduce mistakes and streamline the workflow.
The screenshot below shows an example incident within SARCOP with about 60 points.
See below, the user can choose to select a group of points by drawing a freehand polygon.
In the screenshot below, the points in the selection polygon were selected and the user can update attributes for the group of points all at one time.
Audience: First Responders, Urban Search & Rescue Team Members,
Technical Problem: Batch Attribute Editor widget is not available within Experience Builder. We are migrating these apps from Web AppBuilder to Experience Builder in anticipation of the deprecation.
Potential Solution: Ability to edit attributes using a batch selection within Experience Builder, similar to Batch Attribute Editor widget from Web AppBuilder. Batch editing attributes without the need to utilize a separate ArcGIS product is important to this workflow because our users are often working in time sensitive environment on a tablet or mobile and might not have any prior GIS experience outside of our app SARCOP.
