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.

Clearly not the answer I was hoping for but that is the way it goes. Thank you for finally clarifying that.

Here is the CSV with the data I am attempting to graph. Nothing earth shattering.

You've linked to the EXPERIENCE BUILDER documentation. But this is the Storymaps documentation, which has decidedly less information and certainly no limitation information. Here is the ArcGIS Blog post about charts and Storymaps which, again, lacks specificity about limitations or restrictions. I'll concede that the chart functionality available in Storymaps or Experience Builder is likely built on the same foundational tools but that in no way guarantees that the user has access to the full suite of functionality of any given tool/widget (instant app vs Experience Builder, for example). This is precisely why I harp on the documentation. I'll post a CSV in a second reply momentarily..

One of the constant aggravations with ESRI is the constant lack of adequate documentation of its products. For me this weekend, it was chart option in Storymaps (AGOL version). The documentation has zero information about the limitations of this feature. Specifically, how many rows and columns of information can be used with this widget. I wanted to create a line chart with six variables, each with 61 data points (a yearly value from 1962-2023). This does not seem like an impossible ask but apparently it is? The chart widget apparently only supports 4 columns by 12 rows? When I attempt to copy/paste information that's all that will come over. Seems like something that should be documented. Even the blog post about using charts with Storymaps doesn't address this. i resigned myself with having to create a dashboard with a single chart but that's a frustration for a different community post..

I would think that you will need to convert the labels into annotation and then position the annotation layer accordingly underneath the polygon like this:

Justin hits the nail on the head here. Unfortunately, ESRI has chosen a delayed rollout strategy for product improvements so new features first appear in AGOL, then in the Developer Version, and then finally the Enterprise version. The lag of time between AGOL and a feature appearing in Enterprise is about 6 months. This is all assuming that your GIS admin keeps pace with ESRI's releases. If your org doesn't upgrade as ESRI releases versions, then your wait will be even longer. One alternative is to build your app using the AGOL version but using your enterprise layers for the content. Since they're behind the firewall, you'll be prompted to sign in to access the layers in the app but then you're at least able to leverage the latest EB features even if your GIS Admin plays it safe with ESRI versions.

I certainly use it but be aware of the caveat that is listed in the documentation: The selection layer is only useful as a temporary working dataset, for example, as an input into a geoprocessing model. It lists the FeatureIDs (FIDs) or ObjectIDs (OIDs) of the selected features. These are invalidated when the original data source is updated or changed.

I'm not a staunch defender of ArcGIS Pro but I believe you can already do this? After selecting features, right-click on the layer in the TOC and under the Selection side menu, there's an option to create a layer from the selected features.

One thing to check out is on the SDE side of things. I was getting the same error through an Experience Builder app (thread here) and, through some exploration, we discovered that the layer that would throw the error did not have the same accounts listed on SDE's Manage->Privileges compared to other layers which did print fine. Again, not saying that this is your issue but it's something to check. Steve

Wow- that's interesting. I just noticed that same behavior on my end. Also, the Map Viewer keyboard shortcuts do nothing (Alt B opens the Bookmarks Browser Menu instead of showing the Basemap Gallery)

Hopefully everything you need has been saved there. I didn't click through a ton but what I did click, loaded. I would imagine that the documentation was bundled with the API downloads but I don't have a link for that (all my work was hitting off the CDN rather than an offline install).
