Agree with all of this, but the point about the map only showing at cached scales is really important - for us, when this is used on a mobile device, the scale the map prints is not one where there is a cache and therefore there is no basemapping!

Thank you. I must have missed that one on my search

Hi I am using the Jewelerybox theme and have my layer list in the side panel. This is open ny default when the app opens. Is it possible to have it closed by default as, when viewed on a mobile decive, it takes up the whole screen. Thanks Mark

Hi I need to make our web mapping apps more accessible to those using just a keyboard and have seen the AccessifizerWidget. However, as a non-developer, I am not really sure how to use it. Would anyone be able to give a starting point? Thanks Mark

Hi I don't suppose there is an easy way to bulk upload layers to this widget? My map has about 200 layers and it may take some time to add them all! Thanks

Do you know if it would be possible to add your navigation tool as a widget? It would be really useful. As a non developer, I wouldn't have a clue!!

Thanks, that is really helpful. I have looked at your template and it looks great. Unfortunately we are reliant on the apps that ESRI supply and the full functionality of their widgets. It appears that it is not possible to tab to each of the widgets or navigate the map in them. I particularly like the way you can navigate with a keyboard on your app - that would make an great custom widget for WAB (assuming you could tab to it). We only use WAP developer to hide various elements in in the widgets or change the colour of the icons. As we are not developers, we are unable to develop an app in the Java API. I don't suppose there is a simple change the tab index in an app created in Web App Builder?

Hi I have produced a map in WAB (developer edition) and our website team want to know about how accessible it is. In terms of being responsive, it works well on all devices, although it is better when not in an iframe on the corporate website. As it appears that the full screen widget doesn't work in when if an iframe, I think we will just also have a link to the actual web app, unless anyone else has any good ideas in this! As for complying with the Equality Act (2010) and meeting WCAG 2.0 guidelines, I am unsure what to do. I have tried looking on here and not found much really. I see ESRI have published some templates saying how the US regulations are being addressed (Legal Information | Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs) | Software ) I know maps are not going to be fully accessible to those with visual imparments but I don't appear to be able to control the app without a mouse, which I was hoping to be able to do. I see there is the AccessifizrWidget (GitHub - cmndrbensisko/AccessifizrWidget: The Accessifizr Widget is designed to easily port Accessifizr functionality in… ) - does anyone know how to use this and if it does the job, or if there are any alternatives? The other issue is screen reader compatibility. Is it possible for a screen reader to work with a mapping app? Thanks in advance Mark

I agree, we need to manage their expectations and let them know if their request is downright daft (of which we have had plenty!) or, after a certain amount of effort, not practical. However, in just in this case I happen to agree with the customer in that it will be easier to find layers if they were in alphabetical order. Whilst layers need to be drawn in a certain order to ensure the best possible cartographic representation, I see no cartographic reason that that is the order they have to be displayed on on the layer list, only limits to the technology. I actually think, after much googling, I have managed to work out a way round this too! Instead of creating a new service for each layer, just add each layer from the service to AGOL separately using the layer id from the REST endpoint. That way the code to sort the array should work perfectly. I hope!! Thanks again for your help. Don't think we would have got anywhere near the map we have if it wasn't for your input.

I thought it may be. If there no way of sorting sublayers, I guess the alternative would be to publish each layer as a service. The problem with that is with 50+ layers just on this map, I would kill the server!

Hi Robert One of our developers has had a quick look and updated the JS as follows: refresh: function() { this._removeLayerNodes(); var sortedLayerArray = this.operLayerInfos.getLayerInfoArray() sortedLayerArray = sortedLayerArray.sort() // must be the array - this.operLayerInfos.getLayerInfoArray() - need to sort this array.forEach(sortedLayerArray, function(layerInfo) { this.drawListNode(layerInfo, 0, this.layerListTable); }, this); Looks like it hasn't worked, unless it will only sort the services and not the layers within it: Don't suppose you have any clues?

‎01-10-2018

Fantastic Robert - you are a genius! If I wanted to hide the buffer tool, would that be in the same place?

‎01-10-2018

That looks promising, thanks. I will see if any of the developers in the IT department would know how to add this sort function

‎01-10-2018

Almost! The tool I want to remove is not the one you have highlighted, but the one two to the right (with the 3 polygons and the arrow). The other bit is correct. I may be wrong, but if I can just hide it in the html, it is less likely to cause any issues than if I remove it elsewhere!

Hi I need to hide the Select by Rectangle and Selectable Layers section in the Screening Widget draw tool as we don't want users to use them. Is this possible in the HTML? Thanks Mark
