Hi Tim, I am glad you got the 2nd part solved! To solve the 1st part, let's try a simple example. http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app191/ This is using Enhanced Search Widget 2.0.1.4, and Popup Panel Widget 2.0.1 within the Foldable Template of WAB 2.0 Open the By Shape Tab. Engage the Rectangle Tool. Lasso a School represented by a green circle. Click on the result. The popup window opens right next to the selected School. Zoom to the selected School Change the Basemap to Imagery. The popup is obstructing the view. This is a problem! The solution is to open the Popup Panel Widget. Notice how the Popup information immediately shows up in the Popup Panel. To get a better view of the School, first disengage any active drawing tools under the By Shape Tab. Now you will be able to pan around the map. Drag the map so you can see the entire School. Move the Enhanced Search Widget out of the way by dragging the header to get a better view of the School. This is how it works for point features. Next, try selecting a polygon feature. Open the By Value Tab. Set Search Layer = ZIP Codes Accept the default ZIPCODE = 85007 Press Search Click on the Result The attributes are displayed inside the Popup Panel. This comes very handy when you need to display a long list of attributes. The graphic is not obstructed. Notice, you cannot move the Popup Panel in this configuration. To get more flexibility, use the Launchpad Theme. http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app192/ In this theme you can freely move and resize the widgets. I am selecting a City - a Polygon feature. The long list of attributes are displayed in the Popup Panel. You get an unobstructed view of the City boundary. ... View more

Tim, The solution to the first part of your problem is to use Robert's Popup Panel Widget. Once opened, all the results from the Enhanced Search Widget and Identify Widget will be shunted to the Popup Panel, thereby preventing the selected graphics from being obstructed. For the second part, you can add an attribute to your data layer that shows the layer name. Then you can configure this field to show up as the Title in the Results Pane and Popup Window. ...

Hi Robert, The ability to display the sum multiple fields combined with the capability of selecting multi-part graphics in eSearch 2.0.1.4 gave us the perfect solution we needed in one of our Emergency Management applications. We needed a quick and efficient way of finding the number of people, cats, and dogs that need to be evacuated in an emergency. A typical situation may call for everyone to be evacuated within 3 miles of ground zero, plus an additional number that may lie 8 miles along the wind vector. This is where multi-part graphics comes in real handy to define the affected evacuation sectors. First I am using the Circle Tool to select all sectors within 3 miles of ground zero. Next, I am using the Polygon Tool to select the evacuation sectors 8 miles along the wind vector. When I press the Search button, I get the contamination area highlighted in orange. The Total Population that needs to be evacuated is shown in the bottom of the Results Pane. When I click on the [More...] button, I get the full summary results. This is the quickest way to display how may persons, people with special needs, cats, dogs, etc., that need to be evacuated in an emergency where every minute counts. As you can see, the ability to display the sum of multiple items was critical for our emergency app. It now works like a dream! ... View more

Robert, Yes, you are absolutely correct! I meant to export only the items that have been configured to show in the Popup, and not all the items in the map service. For example, in our Parcels map service, we have around 100 items. When I am using this Parcels map service in a Web Application, I want to display a short list of items in the Popup. For example: Parcel Number Owner Address City Zip Legal Acres Within these Popup items that I have configured, I want to display only 2 items in the Results pane to keep the display simple: Parcel Number = Title Owner When I click on [Export All to CSV], I expect just these items to be exported, and not the entire list of 100 items. Parcel Number Owner Address City Zip Legal Acres Thanks for checking into the multiple sums issue. ... View more

Hi Robert, I have an enhancement request on how the Summary Results are displayed when you add to the selection set in Enhanced Search Widget 2.0.1.4 I will explain this through a simple test case. Open the Foldable Theme using eSearch 2.0.1.4 http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app191 I want to display the Summary Results for 2 Schools. Open the Enhanced Search Widget and select 2 Schools. The Summary Results correctly displays the Total Number of Students and Teachers. Now, what if I want to add 2 more Schools to my Selection Set? Set the Selection Mode to Add to Current Results, and lasso 2 more Schools. The Results Pane now correctly shows 4 Schools. However, the Total Number of Students displayed in the bottom did not update. It is still showing the Total Number of Students = 878 from the first selection. When I click on the [More...] button, I get 2 Summary Results Windows. The first two lines shows the Summary Results from the initial section of 2 schools. The last two lines shows the Summary Results after adding to the selection. This can be confusing. I was expecting to see 1 Summary Results Window like so: Summary Results: Total Number of Students: 1,801 Total Number of Teachers: 94 If I refresh the map, and make a new selection to select the 4 Schools like so: I get the correct total displayed at the bottom. Total Number of Students: 1,801 When I click on the [More...] button, I get 1 Summary Results window showing the correct totals: Total Number of Students: 1,801 Total Number of Teachers: 94 ...

Hi Robert, Your Enhanced Search Widget 2.0.1.4 (Version 55) comes packed with a lot of useful enhancements. I made 8 new apps to test how they work in the different themes: Foldable Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app191/ Launchpad Theme: http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app192 Dart Theme: http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app193 Tab Theme: http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app194 Box Theme: http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app195 Jewelry Box Theme: http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app196 Billboard Theme: http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app197 Plateau Theme: http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app198 The ability to display the sum of more than 1 numeric fields will come in very handy. Here I am displaying the Total Number of Students, and Teachers from the selected schools. I can easily display the Total Population from selected cities: I can press the More option to see more summary results: This is a brilliant enhancement. When you click on a record, the Pop-up window shows the complete list of attributes. I like the Export All to CSV link right on the Results pane. However, only the items in the Results pane were exported. PLACE Population Sq. Miles The values from the items in the Pop-up window did not make it through: Category Incorporated MedianAge AvgHHSize CityData – This is the hyperlink field Let’s see how the Export All to CSV link behaves in the Attribute Table. Open Attribute Table from Layer = Search Results: Places All the attributes are displayed:     Click on the Export All to CSV link from the Options pull down: Now I see all the item values exported correctly. I would like to submit an enhancement request to make the Export All to CSV link on the Results pane behave the same way as the Export All to CSV link on the Attribute Table. Thanks for the quick fix on making the Identify Title to appear in black in the Launchpad Theme. http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app192/ The Title is now readable in Black As per your instructions, I added these two lines to the very end of the \server\apps\App#\widgets\Identify\css\style.css file: .claro .jimu-launchpad-panel .identify-list-item .title {   color: black; } All your custom widgets now match the Style Colors in the new Plateau Theme. http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app198/ I was examining your eSearch Widget to see how made this color matching possible. \server\apps\App#\widgets\eSearch\css\style.css You had to write 1382 lines of CSS code to color match all your controls to each Style Color in each of the 8 Themes. This is an incredible amount of work! I admire your patience. I saw one file named .brackets.json Does this file need to be there? Once again, thanks so much for all these new and useful enhancements to version 2.0.1.4. Your Enhanced Search Widget has become the centerpiece of every Web App we are creating. ... View more

You have fixed this issue. Launchpad Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app178 With the Identify Widget, the Layer Name is very hard to read. This is peculiar to the Launchpad Theme only. The same issue comes up with the Enhanced Search Widget. The Title Text is hard to read. Dart Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app179 I see some overwriting text with the Identify Widget Even when I resize the widget, the issue remains The Enhanced Search Widget also shows the same problem with overwriting text. Tab Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app180 Identify works perfectly. Enhanced Search works perfectly. Box Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app181 Identify works perfectly. Enhanced search works perfectly. Jewelry Box Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app182 Identify works perfectly. Enhanced Search works perfectly. Billboard Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app183 No issues with Identify or Enhanced Search Plateau Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app183 Identify works fine. Enhanced Search works fine. Sometimes I have been experiencing an intermittent problem with the Google Street View Widget. The window does not open after dragging the Google Pegman Tool. There is no way to escape out of it. The Google Pegman Tool is permanently latched to my mouse cursor. I found this workaround. If you make your Application Window Full Screen, then the Google Street View window appears like so. All your other Custom Widgets are working perfectly in every Theme. Thanks a million Robert for all your amazing contribution and 24/7 support to our Web AppBuilder Community. ... View more

Hi Robert, Thanks a million for releasing Identify 2.0.1.1 and Enhanced Search 2.0.1.1 Your CSS fix now includes all the Style Colors in the new Plateau Theme. I like the option to Wrap the results text. Just like your Identify Widget, the Enhanced Search Widget controls now honors the Style Colors. I checked the option to Wrap the Results Text. However, the text in the results pane did not wrap around. I still see the scroll bar at the bottom of the results pane. Here is the config_Enhanced Search.json file: ... View more

Hi Robert, I tested the latest versions of your Custom Widgets as of 4/21/2016 using Web AppBuilder Developer Edition version 2.0. Enhanced Search Widget 2.0.1, Version 49      4/20/2016 https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-1731 Enhanced Basemap Gallery Widget 2.0.1, Version 10         4/20/2016 https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-2888 Google Street View Widget 2.0.1, Version 8      4/21/2016 https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-2991 Share Widget 2.0.1, Version 12      4/20/2016 https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-3247 Identify Widget 1.3.0.1, Version 18      12/21/2015 https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-3250 Elevation Profile Widget 1.3.0.1, Version 7      1/7/2016 https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-3342 Map Progress Indicator Widget 1.3, Version 5      12/15/2015 https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-6416 Enhanced Bookmark Widget 1.3, Version 4      12/15/2015 https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-6889 Enhanced Locate Widget 1.3, Version 7      12/15/2015 https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-7046 Popup Panel Widget 2.0.1, Version 7      4/20/2016 https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-7355 I also included the following 3 useful widgets by Larry Stout, you and others: Add Service Widget 1.2, Version 8      11/17/2015 https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-6263 Add Shapefile Widget, Version 2      9/18/2015 https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-6907 Zoom Previous Next Widget 1.1.1, Version 3      5/13/2015 https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-6111 I see that you have been furiously updating all your Custom Widgets to make them work under WAB 2.0! For your Custom Widgets that are still at version 1.3, I manually edited the manifest.json file to read. "wabVersion": "2.0.1" I made 8 Test Apps, using the 8 Themes in WAB 2.0 These examples showcases what can be done using your ready to use configurable widgets without writing a single line of code! Foldable Theme: http://www.TapasDas.com/Maps/Phones/app169/ Identify 1.3.0.1 works without any issues in WAB 2.0 I like how you can search for a collection of features, sum the values of a single numeric field, and display the total in the Results Pane. I am summing the Total number of Students. What if I wanted to show the summation of 2 numeric fields in the Results Pane like so? Total Students = 842 Total Teachers = 53 Would this enhancement be possible in a future version? Launchpad Theme: http://www.TapasDas.com/Maps/Phones/app170/ Dart Theme: http://www.TapasDas.com/Maps/Phones/app171/ Tab Theme: http://www.TapasDas.com/Maps/Phones/app172/ I like the Zoom To button on the Popup Panel. Box Theme: http://www.TapasDas.com/Maps/Phones/app173/ Jewelry Box Theme: http://www.TapasDas.com/Maps/Phones/app174/ Billboard Theme: http://www.TapasDas.com/Maps/Phones/app175/ Plateau Theme: http://www.TapasDas.com/Maps/Phones/app176/ This in the new theme in WAB 2.0 The Widgets do not match the Theme Color. Let's try the Enhanced Search Widget I would like the active tool to mimic the Theme Color. When you click on a tool, it disappears. Same thing happens with the Identify Widget. Robert, you had to write a thousand line of CSS code to force all your Widget Controls to change color with the selected Theme. This works perfectly with the 7 themes in WAB 1.3. It also fixes the ESRI Popup once your Enhanced Search Widget is opened. Would it be possible to extend your fix to this new Plateau Theme in WAB 2.0? ESRI's Web AppBuilder allows us to tap into thousands of hours of programming effort by you and others in the WAB Developer Community. I am amazed how easy it has become to deploy stable, fully functional and responsive web applications in a matter of hours.

Hi Rebecca, Just wanted to thank you for the awesome job you are doing by maintaining your Customization Resource List Blog. I read your blog every morning to see what is new for the Web AppBuilder. This has become an invaluable resource for the Web AppBuilder Community. Derek Law presented a Web AppBuilder Technical Session at the ESRI Southwest User Conference last week in Phoenix. He pointed out the growing popularity of the Web AppBuilder. There are over 81,000 web apps built using this tool. Derek acknowledged your hard work and presented a slide with a link to your Customization Resource List. You have made this the Central Clearing House for everything related to the Web AppBuilder! Derek showed a slide stating that WAB version 2.0 (Beta) with 3D capabilities will be released in a few weeks. Hope to catch up with you at the ESRI Dev Summit in March. ... View more
