So I'm being tasked with porting a legacy map app from an aging application. I'm going to aim to do it with the WAB. However, due to time constraints I haven't had time to touch the WAB since it came out of it's BETA cocoon. And most of what I did in BETA was for directed, single-use map apps. I really haven't had time to dig in and see what all is there to play with.
I'm wondering if a feature class has a lot of attributes can I replicate the query functionality of the old map app in the new WAB App?
Here is a sample of how they currently build a query... (this is for Police Arrests by the way)
For those of you with more experience does this look doable with the new WAB? Would I need to check out a custom widget?
Any input from those with more experience with the WAB would be great.

Brian,
as you said your best bet would be creating a custom widget. It is pretty straight forward and the help that ESRI provides is somewhat helpful.

I created a custom widget and I am not a programming pro. So if you want to look at it just to see how things work
Hope this helps!

Tim,
Yeah. I'm hoping to not have to do that just yet. I have made just one custom widget and it was mostly cannibalizing code that Robert Scheitlin, GISP wrote. I'm hoping to go as much out of the box as I can for this. I'm "supposed" to have time to get into the WAB and play, research the Dojo and Widgets stuff, so that I "CAN" do these types of things... but there is never enough time... ugh!
I thought I remember a Query option that was fairly intense. I was hoping I could put together sample queries that they just plug in their specifics to get the output.
And then export to CSV is a big deal too...
Thanks for the response... I'm gonna cross my fingers that this is not going to be the dev nightmare I fear it will.

There might be some easy code adjustments to fit your need?
