In ArcGIS Experience Builder, the Near Me widget allows users to select features within a buffer and view summary statistics. However, it currently lacks the ability to dynamically group selected features by a field (e.g., HoldingType) and calculate summary statistics (e.g., SUM(PigCount) per group).
This functionality is essential for spatial analysis workflows, especially in epidemiology and agriculture, where users need to understand not just totals, but how those totals break down by category. Tools like Power BI support this natively, and it’s surprising that Experience Builder does not.
Requested Features:
- Support for GROUP BY in summary expressions within the Near Me widget.
- Ability to show dynamic tables or charts summarizing selected features by category.
- Integration with Arcade or SQL-like expressions to allow flexible aggregation.
Use Case Example: I’m building a web app to analyze pig holdings. I want users to select a holding, view nearby holdings within a buffer, and see a summary table showing the number of pigs grouped by HoldingType (e.g., Finisher, Abattoir). This is currently only possible through complex workarounds involving multiple layers and hidden symbology.
