AGOL WAB - Query Widget - Globally Set Results Symbol Colors Annoying to have to go change this color 30x. Could you please allow this to be globally set for all query results? ... View more

Using tabbed template: It doesn't seem like much has been done for story map look and feel in the last year. I can't figure out where I am allowed to do simple things like change fonts.  Colors are also forced upon us as 6 theme choices. I searched this forum and saw someone asking about templatizing fonts for story maps for speed of bulk story map creation.   Were fonts changeable in the past and now are not?  Confused. Thanks, Jake ... View more

Story Map - AGOL Item Name vs. Map Title - these shouldn't have to be the same In AGOL WAB apps, I can set the map title to something very user friendly -- while maintaining my "not user friendly" AGOL item naming convention in the backend. With story maps, no such luck.  If I change the map title in edit mode, it automatically changes the backend item name.  I don't want this behavior. Thanks, Jake ... View more

AGOL WAB Summary Viewer - Make Clusters for Polygons (or Highlight Somehow) Summary Viewer can be used on polygons, too! Need a way to highlight the items it zooms to when we filter by attribute. Currently, it zooms us to an area, but we may or may not have any idea which of the items relate to the filter operation we just completed (since this app is not a filter - more of a highlighter {clusters for points}). Make sense? Thanks, Jake ... View more

Why not make the web map a little more utilitarian as we move heavily toward web mapping applications? Specifically, it's irritating that I can change aliases, repub and the web map still hangs onto an old alias. I would like tools in the web map to do things like "refresh aliases" or "set all popups in this map to never put commas on any number less than 1 million", etc. If I remove a layer from my web map....to replace it....so I can get the right aliases (service definition is already showing corrected), it ruins 7 of the 20 things I have hanging onto this layer in my AGOL WAB template (charts will still work, query will completely disappear, compound search bar will look like it works (but won't), incident response will change this layer to something else (but at least I can switch it back), Near Mes still work, etc.). Whole lot of trouble to fix one alias, no? ... View more

AGOL WAB Query Widget - Forced Commas In List? I have a query filter looking at a number field.  It's really an ID, so yeah, it could have been text. Either way, why won't the filter box accept entry without the comma? ... View more

AGOL WAB Query Widget - Reorder Filters It's very annoying to have to remove 5 filters, insert a new one in the stack, add the 5 filters back -- simply to preserve some semblance of a logical progression or common order (that is used across many layers in a dataset and many queries). Would like the ability to move filters up and down in the tiny window. Thanks! ... View more

WAB Queries - Ability to Query Across Multiple Fields and Layers Multiple fields -- would be nice to have an option to place one user input filter box that looks in multiple columns in the same dataset.  This would help for long name / short name / abbreviations / alt. name issues. Multiple layers -- this idea is one that would solve a bit more of the cartography vs. analysis challenge.  Right now, I might have structures in a group layer with three sublayers and separate queries / symbologies / layer properties, etc.  However, in order to query the whole set properly (without making three different queries {which wastes list space}), I have to carry a "full set" in the bottom of the group layer, turned off and ask my query to operate upon that.  I realize allowing users to query across multiple layers opens up numerous cans of worms, but perhaps a schema check / warning before allowing this solves some of the problem?  I am mainly wanting to do this on like-schema items, but I can see utility for the opposite as well. ...
