Geocode and select polygon?

[ChrisCowin_dhs]

Hello,

I have a boutique javascript address lookup tool that is pretty simple. User enters the address, that address is verified and then geocoded and then intersected with a giant mesh of polygons based on jurisdiction. So it works fine, but I'm not a Javascript person and have little desire to become one. I was hoping this would be possible to replicate with out-of-the-box solution like experience builder to achieve the same lookup functionality. So first I was looking through the gallery of Experience Builder apps to get an idea of if what I want is possible and so far I'm thinking it is not possible because there doesnt seem to be a way of transferring the selection of a geocoded address into the analysis section of a web map.

Before I moved on I thought I would come and ask the folks that actually use experience builder and see if you guys had any suggestions on widgets to try/work arounds. Thanks!

You may want to look at the Zone Lookup Instant App. It should do what you want.

In Experience Builder, this workflow can be achieved by combining the Map, Search and Near Me Widgets.

1. Add a Map, Search and Near Me Widget to your project.
2. In the Search Widget Settings Panel, add the appropriate Locator Source.
3. Go to the Action Tab. Then Add A Trigger>Record Selection Changes>Near Me>Set Location.
4. In the Near Me Settings Panel, set the Search Distance to 0 and Add Analysis>Closest Feature for each polygon layer you want to find.

That worked perfectly, the only additional point I would add would be to also ensure that the correct layer is selected in the add analysis option under the Near Me widget if you have a Feature Collection as the layer of interest.
