Can Web Appbuilder Widgets or AGOL's Web Apps be used in Field Maps?

Hi guys and gals,

I am looking for a way to help my inspectors help me. I've been publishing Collector and Survey123 apps and forms for a few years and am now migrating everything over to Field Maps.

Currently when the inspectors do a 'drive-by' public safety inspection, they typically find everything in good order. Once in a while there is an issue to report, probably less than 1% of our poles.

I have a status Domain set on all the poles to "Not Inspected' when the inspection starts. It is not practical to ask them to stop and change the status on all the poles that are okay (Healthy/Reinspected). What I would like to offer them is a way to bulk edit all the poles that are okay.

I have seen a Select Multiple tool available in AGOL apps and hence in Collector, which gets me part way there. All I have to do is go from a Map to an App and configure the Select Tool. After selecting multiple features, I would like to provide a method to bulk update all the status values.

There is a Bulk Attribute Editor widget that I became aware of in Web AppBuilder, but I'd like to accomplish this all in Field Maps if at all possible. I am somewhat familiar with coding, however I am not a developer. I can figure out some python, some html and some arcade.

Has anyone done this who could give me some help?

Thanks, Bill~

Hi @TravisSizemore ,

Now this looks much more promising! I just need to try this out carefully as there are lots of moving parts for my situation. Sometimes the poles are right by the roads, and other times not so close. And can the inspector tweak the buffer distance or is that a fixed parameter that gets published, would be another question to investigate.

Thanks for the great tip!

It would seem that the answer would be to select all the poles that were in good shape, and create one inspection that gets propagated to them all. But, this isn't possible....and I am not sure why ESRI doesn't have this capability.
