Examples

Use this widget to support app design requirements such as the following:

• You need to show the comparison of a map in 2D and 3D. You can add two Map widgets and create a trigger and action to synchronize views when interacting with either map.
• You want to click a feature on the map and display the record in a Feature Info widget.
• You have a requirement to filter a List widget based on clicking a feature on the map.

Usage notes

You can show a single map or include the option to switch between two maps. You can include multiple maps in an app by adding more Map widgets.

The Map widget requires a data source, including web maps and web scenes. When you include tools, they are automatically positioned on the map based on the size of the widget in both design mode and the final app.

The Map widget also supports triggers on the Action tab. For example, with this feature, you can have two Map widgets and synchronize them by adding a trigger based on when the extent changes. You can set triggers and actions to interact with other widgets. For example, you can add an action trigger to return only the features in a List widget that are visible on the map. Triggers and actions are defined and managed on the Action tab. To learn more about the supported features in the Map widget, see Add actions to widgets.
