Near Me Widget / Experience Builder

[PaulJordan]

I've been using the Near Me widget in an app developed with Web App Builder.  As seen below, the tool has a number of options for determing the initial location, include address search, drawing tools, or a shapefile upload.

Now I'm trying to duplicate that functionality with same widget as a web experience.  But I don't see an option for uploading a shapefile.  Anyone?  Thanks!

You're not missing it- it doesn't exist. Welcome to the new and improved Near Me widget!

That isn't a workflow I have needed but I think the way to implement it in EB would be to use the Add Data widget so that your users can upload the shapefile and add it as a layer onto your map. Next, you would use a Data Action so that a selected feature can then be used as the input geometry for the Near Me widget analysis. This will get you your analysis results at which point you'll learn the the onscreen results can't be exported as a PDF in the same format as they're presented onscreen (only as CSV with all fields) but that's a gripe for a different thread.

Yeah, I was afraid of that.  Every time ESRI improves my life they break something!
