Idea: In the New Web App Builder (ArcGIS), configuring the number of decimal places for fields requires adjustments in three distinct locations:

  1. Pop-up Window Settings
  2. Field Settings
  3. Label Settings

While this level of customization allows for more flexibility, it can become time-consuming and repetitive for users, especially when all that is required is to ensure consistent decimal precision across the pop-ups, labels, and tables. In contrast, the Map Viewer Classic allowed users to configure decimal places solely within the pop-up window settings, and the labels and table would automatically reflect those changes, streamlining the process.

I would like to suggest that ESRI enhance the functionality in the New Web App Builder to allow for a more intuitive and efficient workflow. By syncing the decimal place configuration across pop-ups, labels, and tables, users would only need to set decimal places in one location, significantly improving user experience and reducing the need for repeated configuration.

If this could be implemented, either by default or with an optional setting, it would save time and effort, particularly for those of us working with large datasets where decimal precision is crucial.

Benefits:

  • Reduced time and effort spent configuring decimal places in multiple locations.
  • Improved user experience with streamlined workflows.
  • Consistency in the display of data across the app.
  • Option for more advanced users to automate this using Arcade scripts.

Thank you for considering this idea. I believe it would greatly improve the functionality of the New Web App Builder, making it more efficient and user-friendly.

Here is an example of the steps I had to take to get the decimal places in one milepost layer to be consistent between the table, label and pop up windows in the new map viewer:

1. change the decimal place settings in the fields settings:

2. label pop up window: add custom arcade script:

apply custom arcade script for label:

3. Create the exact same custom arcade script in the pop-up window settings:

apply this in the pop-up window settings:

The result after repeating the same configuration steps 3 times:
