Map Layers widget

The Map Layers widget displays a list of map layers.

Example

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

• A common use is to configure a Map widget and a Map Layers widget in a full-screen app. Use the Map Layers widget to list the layers and allow users to control their visibility on the map.

Usage notes

This widget requires connection to a data source. You can connect to a data source directly or connect to a Map widget in your app. You can use the Map Layers widget on a page with or without a displayed map.

Settings

The Map Layers widget includes the following settings:

• Source—Web map or web scene data, or a Map widget in your app that displays a 2D or 3D map.
• Customize layers (available when you connect a Map widget)—Customize which layers appear in the layer list. Any web maps or scenes connected to the Map widget are listed here. If you click a web map or scene, a panel listing all of the map or scene's layers opens.
  • Enable customize layers—Turn on this setting to choose which layers appear in the layer list at run time. This setting also affects the Map widget's Layers tool.

    Note:

    You cannot access the Customize layers setting if multiple Map Layers widgets are connected to the same Map widget.

• Options—Select from a variety of options to appear in the widget for each listed layer.

  Tip:

  To experiment with these options, click Live view on the builder toolbar.

  • View layer details—Open the details page for the layer.

    Tip:

    If the layer is an ArcGIS Online item, clicking Details opens the layer's item page.

  The following options are only available when configuring this widget to work with the Map widget:

  • Zoom to—Zoom the corresponding map to the extent of the layer.
  • Show or hide labels—For layers with labels, choose to allow users to show or hide labels.
  • Transparency—Change the transparency of the layer in the corresponding map.
