I often use WAB to take advantage of the widgets, and have always thought the popup styling seemed really out of date, compared to the rest of the application.  It defaults to black background with rather pixelated text that when expanded takes up the whole screen, whether there is 2 attributes or 10.  Why not change this styling to match the pop ups in the configurable templates?  That popup default style is so much more attractive.  Then instead blotting out your whole map when you needed to see all the attributes, it would appear nicely below it.  I'm sure I could set up custom styling, but obviously somebody must have noticed this already at Esri, or they wouldn't have changed it for the newer templates. ...

For mapping polygon data, can I not change the symbol for just the classification zero or no data?  I would prefer not to have my counties shaded in at all when the value is 0, but I do want them to be accounted for.  I want to still label the name of the county, and I still want it to have a popup, with the name of the county and the zero value. I can uncheck the box for "draw feature with out of range or no value", but since I have data, it's just the value zero, the counties still shade I can filter those counties out.  They don't shade in with gray, but they don't label, or have popups.    If I introduce a second layer of all the counties, then I can see the boundaries, generate labels for each county, but that doesn't work if I want to have popups.  I can never get the right combination of symbology, labels, and contents of the popup. What should be really simple, isn't.  In Desktop, you can specify a symbol for "no data', but in Maps for Office, that doesn't appear to be an option.   ... View more

I have a table of addresses that also includes coordinates.  I thought it would be easy to use a coordinate encoder, like you see in many of the other ESRI products to determine a coordinate of a location as I move or click the mouse.  I don't see that as an option in Maps for Office, and I think it would be handy.  I could have filled in the blanks i had in my table right from my spreadsheet, rather than having to open another product like ArcGIS Online or Desktop to find these out. ...

I know there are several options for selecting data on your map, with tools to see highlighted or selected rows.  In the spreadsheet, I see that can select a single row and go to that location on the map. I would expect to also be able to set a filter on my data, limiting features to a certain category for example, and have my map reflect that filter.  It doesn't seem to work that way ,though. This seems pretty basic to me.  I've only been looking at this a couple of days, though.   ... View more
