The Enhanced Bookmark Widget allows you to predefine map view extents (that is, spatial bookmarks).
The Enhanced Bookmark widget stores a collection of map view extents (that is, spatial bookmarks) displayed in the application. It also allows you to create and add your spatial bookmarks through configuration or at run time after the application starts. In addition, if there are any existing bookmarks defined for the web map used in the application, they are automatically used. What the enhanced bookmark widget adds is a hierarchical tree list for organizing your bookmarks in logical folders/groupings. The enhanced bookmark widget also does away with the thumbnails that the standard bookmark widget uses and adds UI enhancements and busy indicator when the map is zooming to the clicked bookmark.
The following steps indicate how to create a bookmark and folder. Repeat these steps if you need to define multiple bookmarks or folders.
The configuration window for this widget opens.

A file explorer window opens allowing you to browse to a local image file to use as the widget icon.

Once you have entered the Title the OK button will be enabled.
Optionally you can click on the Thumbnail image and browse for an image to use as the bookmarks thumbnail image or click the Add Map Image button to add a snapshop of the map as the thumbnail.

clicking the Edit will open the edit dialog for the folder or bookmark you have selected. In that dialog you can adjust the title for both folders and bookmarks, the extent and thumbnail for bookmarks and the expanded property for folders.
Clicking Delete is pretty self explainatory.
Clicking the Enhanced Bookmark Widget in your application displays the widget. Depending on the Allow adding bookmarks or folders in widget choice that was made during configuration the Widget will or will not have a option to add new bookmarks or folders at runtime.
