AGO Experience Builder Analysis Widget

[BrettMartin1]

We have a public geoprocessing service in this AGO application in WAB. I have been testing the most recent updates to the Analysis Widget in Experience Builder. The ability to draw the input parameter on the map is a great improvement. However, the widget is still missing functionality that is available in the WAB Geoprocessing Widget. The input configuration is missing “use current map extent” for the extent parameter. There are not options for configuration of output popup or symbology.

The major issue we have found is there is no way to configure the widget to not create a feature service. In WAB if I uncheck “Visible”, the results are added to the map and not too AGO My Content.

In Experience Builder, there is no option in the builder. The hint in the app GUI states if left blank a feature service will not be created.

However, if left blank the tool fails.

Hi folks,

I got caught up in the topic without realizing that the Summer 2024 update has apparently reverted the EB Analysis widget back to how the old WAB GP widget works.  At least it seems so.  Brett and Wei, is that correct?

Is it a fair statement to say the EB documentation is lagging in explaining this?  I still see statements about the Analysis widget needing an AGO account to use.  

Also it now seems like the option to directly load GP services results into a hosted feature layer is just kaput.  I suppose I was hoping for both options where if one is logged into AGO then the latter option is made available.  Is that in the future widget roadmap?

There have been no changes to the tool even with the most recent November update. We are planning to move this GP service to a VertiGIS workflow once WAB is no longer supported. We have already done so for internal application. Not sure why esri cannot at least provide the functionality that exist in the WAB geoprocessing widget. Folks have business processes built around these tools.

@BrettMartin1 we have implemented most of the functionalities from WAB. What exact functionality are you looking for?

Hi @PaulDziemiela21 Thanks for your feedback. 
>> "Summer 2024 update has apparently reverted the EB Analysis widget back to how the old WAB GP widget works. "

What does this mean? Analysis widget in ExB actually combines Analysis and Geoprocessing widgets you see in WAB. So it can run both Esri provided standard tools and custom gp tools.

>> "Analysis widget needing an AGO account to use.  " 

Not really. If you are running the custom web tool (gp service) only, it does not require any account if the gp service is public accessible. But it you are running the esri provided standard analysis tools you need to login your AGOL or Enterprise account. 

>> "Also it now seems like the option to directly load GP services results into a hosted feature layer is just kaput. "

The result is not always write into a hosted feature layer. You have option to output feature service, otherwise the result layer is just temporary unless you export it as an item or other format.
