I have a web map that I have created using AGOL. When I access the map through AGOL, I can filter specific layers to find the particular feature I am looking for. Is there a way to make this possible with the explorer or collector apps? I have employees who will be using this in field and will be told they need to check out a specific feature, and it would be nice if they could filter using the explorer app to find exactly where that feature is. I would make an application that allows this, but we don't have a hosted web server built yet for me to put the application on. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can create a feature search in a web and the apps can use that same search to locate a feature. There is no interactive filter in the apps yet. You can then route to that feature if you are connected.

You can also use navigator then to get to your feature.

The link you provided didn't work, but I was able to find the webpage you were suggesting and that works well enough. Thanks very much! Hopefully we can get this web server built soon so I can start putting out some really nice applications for my field guys soon. Thanks again!
