[Pics attached and an example of what I'm going for linked below]

Former ArcGIS desktop user here, I'm having a difficult time converting to ArcGIS Online.

I'm trying to build a simple map to find locations to dispose of certain recycleable items. My goal is to create an Experience Builder app where the user is able to toggle on/off the display of different categories of recycle business but I feel like I may be approaching this entirely the wrong the way.

My steps so far:

1) Data source is a CSV table of lat/long and misc information.

2) Converted that data to a web map, only adding in a basemap

3) Created an Experience Builder app with that web map as the layer data source.

That's where I'm stuck. I've tried to play with the list and layer widget but I just can't figure it out. I try making a list with buttons but I'm unable to make one for each of my categories. I also tried a similar approach via the layers and creating different views to filter the different categories but that didn't work either.

Do I really need to make a different base map layer for each category? Is this even possible in Experience Builder or should I be using a different product? I want to easily be able to work out of a single CSV document and one layer. I'm so lost.

An example of what I'm trying to make:

A map with toggle-able data layers like in the following map, but from a single CSV data source:

So you have a several categories of recyclables and you want the user to click a button and have your dataset filtered by type? You should be able to build your buttons in the Filter Widget.

...or, if you are already using the list widget, use the built in filter (see below). Filter on "Category" field and change "input style" to pills (screenshot below)
