Hi,

I'm new to Experience Builder. I've been asked to develop an app that is essentially a spatial query on multiple layers.

I've used the Query widget to allow a user to draw on the map and query a single data source.  Is it possible to extend this to multiple data sources?  Or do I need to wait for an equivalent to the Web AppBuilder Screening widget (and if so does anyone know roughly where that is on the roadmap?

Thanks,

Sarah

I believe you can use the Experience Builder Query widget;

 

Spatial filter>Filter by> Selected features from data source>Add filter layer>Add All the layers needed

Hi @AdejumoBidemi ,

Thanks for your response.  Unfortunately that doesn't do what I want.

Using the Selected features from data source option allows you to select features from one layer based on the features in another layer. What I want to do is allow a user to draw a shape on the map and use that graphic to query multiple layers. But the query widget only allows you to query a single layer at a time.

Thanks,

I found a widget on WebApp Builder called Screening, it should be able to do what you want... Try it

Thanks for responding again.  However, I am well aware of the Web AppBuilder Screening widget - that is exactly the functionality I would like to replicate in Experience Builder.

Hi.

You can use the 'Near Me' widget for this. You can use this to draw a polygon, and then provide analysis of the features from all layers within that polygon. The user can even set a buffer if they want.

I found out about this because Northumberland Council are using it for a public-facing map they have: Planning Constraints

It works pretty well - I think this would solve your problem. The only annoying thing about this is I don't think you can add transparency to the polygon you've drawn, which is a bit irritating.
