Dynamic Settings of Start Time and End Time of Timeline Widget

[MatsHardy]

I have a time-enabled feature layer, which is a collection of tracking points of many incidents. Now, I have binded the layer to timeline widget. The timeline can play the tracking points smoothly, but the start time and end time are that of all incidents. User would like the starting time and end time to be that of the incident he selected. Are there any ways to do so in timeline widget?

Hi @MatsHardy 

Experience Builder Timeline widget reads the full temporal extent of its connected data source, so the start and end times are not dynamically recalculated based on the user's selection. 

There could be a few workarounds to try 

1. Use a filtered data source 

2. Duplicate layer with multiple views

3. Custom Widget (best if you have dev edition)

I hope one of the above helps with your work

Many thx. Are there any samples of custom timeline if I would make custom widget?
