This widget enhances your Experience application by enabling full support for URL parameters in versions prior to ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5. It empowers users to dynamically interact with maps and data sources through simple URL-based actions, improving flexibility and user experience.
What It Helps You Do
- Load the app focused on exactly the content the user needs, removing manual navigation steps.
- Create deep links for workflows such as selection, centering, and predefined map views.
- Integrate the app into external systems that pass feature IDs, extents, or view settings via URL.
- Streamline analysis or review processes by ensuring the map displays the correct location or feature on arrival.
Key Features
- Data Source Parameterization
Pass parameters via URL to filter or query data sources, enabling targeted data display without manual configuration.
- Select record by data source
- Select and Zoom to Feature: Automatically highlight and zoom to a specific feature based on its ID or attribute passed in the URL.
- Map Interaction via URL
- Center map: Center the map on a given coordinate or feature dynamically.
- Set map scale: Adjust the map’s zoom level directly from the URL for precise control over the view.
Example Use Cases
- A permitting system sends a link that opens the app zoomed to a parcel and preselected for inspection.
- A dashboard link opens to a specific asset, with the map centered and rotated to match field crew orientation.
- A notification email includes a link that opens the app already scaled to the right zoom level for reviewing an issue location.
