Lefteris,

You might want to check out the following: LocalLayerWidget and AccessifizrWidget Additionally, there is the possibility of modifying the code to do definition expressions.  Check out this thread for details: Local Layer Widget .

This thread shows how this can be done.

Thank you. I see how is done in the code. I was hoping to see a configuration file (perhaps json file)that you can define the layers that you use in the map and the definition expression to define which datasets to display. I am trying to migrate to JS from FLEX where you can do this in the configuration file.

Suggestions?

Lefteris,

I was working on this to make it a widget but I have been distracted for a few weeks.

Maybe Robert Scheitlin, GISP​ can help you.

Also look at some examples here: Web AppBuilder Developer Edition – Customization Resource List

Hi Lefteris,

Have you tried the Query Widget? I think you can filter a layer in Query Widget UI and also in the configuration json file.

You can filter your layers in the AGOL (or PORTAL) map used in your app.

This would be better for me too.

Yes, That's correct. However, in my case where I have multiple layers is a lot easier to modify the definition expression in a configuration file rather than creating a map for each case.

Thank you.
