Hi,

I would like to have a map on my website that allows a app user to select the extent on the map and then save that extent so I, the developer, can access it. Seems easy conceptually but I've been struggling for a week or two trying to develop it. The two general paths I've thought on (would take other suggestions)

-Draw a shape on the map: The enhanced draw widget essentially does what I want and I built an app using this widget, but as far as I can tell I would need my own web server to deploy the app, which I don't have. Is this true or is there a way to deploy it without that infrastructure?

-Record the extent when the user pushed a button. The user wouldn't even necessarily need to draw something if they could just zoom to the right extent, click a button and the extent is recorded. I haven't found any tool that will do this though, anybody know of anything like this?

Cheers, -Ian

Ian,

   To use custom widgets you have to use WAB Developer (and deploy the app to your own web server) or Your own enterprise on premise Portal (both can use custom widgets).

There is no way to do any custom development of a widget or button when using AGOL WAB.
