Issues with WebApp Builder

[KeriLu]

I am really excited about the WebApp Builder, however I have a few issues with it.

1) I have to run the startup batch file everyday in order to access webapp builder to create and edit webapps. This is usually a problem after I shutdown my computer.

2) The query widget does not work for me at all

3) The print widget works sometimes. Sometimes it just doesn't work esp for landscape layout

4) I attended the ESRI UC 2014 technical sessions on WebApp Builder but I am still unclear about custom widgets or where to find resources.

We are in the process of migrating from Flex to Webapp and the ability to edit features is paramount to making this transition.

I would appreciate any suggestions or help.

Thanks!

Keri,

1. Running the startup.bat after you restart your computer is required to start NodeJS on your computer.
2. Can you provide more info here?
3. Not real sure what to tell you here. Do you have any more specifics?
4. I hope that this group will be a resource for custom widgets

Robert,

I am having the same issue, have to go to the folder and open the start up batch file,, every time to access the builder to edit or work on an application.

Thanks.

Saloni,

   This is not an issue it is the prescribed workflow if you shut down JSNodes Command Window then you will always have to run the bat to restart JSnode which is what WAB runs on. If you still have this icon

on your taskbar then all you need to do is type this in your webbrowsers addressbar http://localhost:3344/webappbuilder‌

Robert,

Sure, I wouldn't mind doing that but I don't have that option when I click on "Actions" menu link, on your reply.
