See buffer in Query widget?

[ncramer11]

I am configuring a Query widget for our users, so that they can select taxlots from a feature layer, and then identify neighboring taxlots with a buffer (Intersect relationship). Is there a setting to make the buffer appear visually on top of the features? If not, perhaps I can submit this as an idea, as being able to visually see the buffer would help with our analysis considerably.

The settings I have configured to perform this buffer. It is enabled, but doesn't appear on the map.The selected taxlot feature, and its neighbors. The buffer is performing correctly, but I have no way to see it.

Yes, you are correct. The Selected Features From A Datasource option in the Query Widget does not show a visual representation of its buffer. There is one with the Drawn Graphic option.

You may consider using Near Me instead. There is a lot of overlap between Near Me and Query and Near Me shows its buffer area.

I submitted an idea for this last week!

I agree with @JeffreyThompson2 on this. Near me is what I use for my tax parcels for my end users.
