Eric, I suspect a salesperson has suggested the ExB would be a good tool to build your app and they suggested that you try it out. But before you ever get to building an ExB app you have to prepare your data, clean it, and load it into ArcGIS Online as a hosted feature layer - its like creating a web service to allow you to query your data and create map images of your data. Next you would compose a wep map in the ArcGIS Online map viewer. The web map would be configured with a basemap, rules on how to display your data, symbolize your data, and configure pop-ups that will display a record for a single map feature when you select it on the map. After you have completed the above steps is when you would begin building an ExB app. It's no wonder you were having difficulty understanding the Experience Builder interface when you were not shown how to prepare your data for use in ExB.

The Experience Builder app interface is fairly complex and it takes some practice to become accustomed to the features and workflow. Sounds like you must have been given an evaluation account on ArcGIS Online. When you first login to arcgis.com you should see a header like this: It was previously called "My Content" but now its just called "Content". If you are already in the ExB app you can click on your user logo in the top right corner and select "My Proflie" from the drop down menu. This will open a new tab and display the "Content" link in the banner across the top of the new tab: Bernie.

Eric - are you using ArcGIS Online or Portal?

Eric, the first step is to add data to "My Content" before you open ExB. Then when you click the "Add Data" button in ExB you select from the data that is in your "My Content". This link should help - https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/add-items.htm Bernie.

The feature service appears to draw very quickly at large scales. The problem appears to be the slow draw speed at the initial extent. Have you considered using a scale threshold to suppress the feature service at smaller scales? Bernie.

In my opinion, if you don't need an enterprise geodatabase (multi-user relational database) then it is best to avoid the additional complexity. It has been a long time since we did any testing so I can't say if a file geodatabase would be faster but I suspect it is marginally faster. But that depends on where your file geodatabase is stored and the speed of the storage system versus the speed of your enterprise database system. Bernie.

Joanne, for our Public facing apps (no login required) we use an iframe to embed our Web AppBuilder apps into a simple HTML page. Then the HTML page is hosted on our web server. This will work for Experience Builder apps too. We prefer to NOT use the developer edition to keep things simple. Have a look at the source for this page and you will see what I mean - https://geonb.snb.ca/geonb/ Bernie.

Hello @pzhuchkov , If you are concerned that your search widget is not working properly I recommend you use your web browser's developer tools to inspect the request and response that your web application is sending. I use Google Chrome. Here is a good link on how to use the Chrome Dev tools to get the info you need - https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-use-chrome-developer-tools-for-api-testing/ Bernie.

Chris, The max record count does not apply to the number of features drawn for a map image request (export). The max record count applies to a query request. For example, I publish a dynamic map service for our parcel map and it includes about 600,000 polygons. The MaxRecordCount is set at 2000. This will limit the number of records that can be returned when a user attempts to query the map service. A query for a very large number of records will take longer and consume more server resources and slow down responses for all of your other users. If you want to limit the number of features drawn when your map service does an export operation you should apply scale thresholds in your map document. In our parcel map service the Min Scale is set to 31,999 to limit the number of parcels that are drawn. The support document you referenced refers to a feature service, not a map service. When a user requests a map draw from a feature service the vector data is transferred to the client and rendered on the client side. When a user requests a map draw from a map service the service will generate an image of the data on the server side and send a jpg or png file to the client. Bernie.

Hello, I think publishing your mxd as a map service will be simpler. A map service will maintain the colors and layer ordering and connection to your geodatabase. Bernie.

Crystal, You got this. The article makes it very clear how to code the formatting of your multi-line labels. Please share an image of your completed labels when you are done. Thanks, Bernie.

Crystal, There is this Esri Support Article - https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000025694. But there was also something mentioned at the Esri UC2022. I can't remember if it was in an Arcade session or a Map Viewer session. Unfortunately, new features just metioned at the UC2022 may not be available to you in your version of Portal. Bernie.

It sounds like the map service for your basemap is not available to your web map. Test your map service. I have seen this error in my own web maps when our servers were malfunctioning. Bernie.

If the REST API does not have a method to return a feature service's definition query it should be added. I can see this being useful. Bernie.

We have published a topo basemap to ArcGIS Online as a vector tile package (VTPK). Is there a free mobile app that will allow anyone (i.e. people without an AGOL account) to download and view our VTPK on their mobile device? And still be able to view the VTPK map when they are out of network coverage? Free maps (VTPK) are great but they are not helpful if your audience needs to buy apps or an AGOL subscription to use them. Thanks, Bernie.
