Jennifer, according to this there is a drag and drop option within ArcGIS Online, I just tried it and it worked (with a lat/long cvs file). Try it with the file I have attached. Since the Webappbuilder runs off an AGOL map, there might be something you can do. Wish I could be more help! Tim ... View more

Jennifer Minnick‌ I assume that the geocoding service that ESRI offers is not accurate enough? It will also cost alot of credits to use it. Would they have spreadsheets of lat/long data or addresses? If it is lat/long data then there is an easy way to plot things on a map. If it is ok to use the geocoder that ESRI provides, you could always train them to look for an address or lat/long and then use the draw tool to add a point. I know this is not optimal but it could do the job. Just let me know what exactly they would do. ... View more

Jennifer Minnick‌ did you try the WebAppbuilder yet? It has a lot more options for printing. ... View more

Jennifer, You are right. There are a lot of functions you still need a server for. Earlier I have read a question about using your own address locators in AGOL. Again you need a server for that. It seems that ESRI is slowly transitioning into the AGOL age, with emphasize on slowly Tim ... View more

Do you mean like an address locator you would use within ArcGIS Desktop? If so, then no. You need a server to publish a service. ... View more

Lela, you could always create your model in modelbuilder and then export it to python. Then you could add code that will check if certain files exist and if they do, delete them. Like this: env.workspace = "Space where your output will be" if arcpy.Exists("your feature"):     arcpy.Delete_management("your featuree") That's how I do it. Tim ... View more

Hamish, my bad for some reason I thought they were using the address locator. You can check out my app here, where I use the geocoder (with autocomplete) and a graphic to show where the address is. Location, Location, Location... - JSFiddle Especially this part of my code: geocoder.on("select", showLocation); and the showLocation function associated with this. Hope this helps! Tim ...

Very nice! It truly was a pain getting the WAB to work! Not to mention trying out the demo widget and theme ... View more

Eric, Most of the complaints I have are related to it being very new. 1. At the moment there aren't many layouts to chose from, unless you want to invest the time to code your own. 2. There are some nice widgets that you can include in your webapp but I don't think enough. 3. The help file is still missing a lot of things or is unclear. The good: 1. Once ESRI gets really rolling, it will be very easy to use and you will need minimal javascript experience. 2. The layouts they do have are very slick and look modern. 3. Setting up an App is very fast. 4. You can customize almost everything if you have javascript experience. 5. It is easy to integrate 3rd party widgets/themes. Hope this helps! Tim ... View more
