Enhanced Bookmark Widget Version 2.5

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.

Configuring the Enhanced Bookmark Widget

The following steps indicate how to create a bookmark and folder. Repeat these steps if you need to define multiple bookmarks or folders.

  1. Hover the mouse over the Enhanced Bookmark Widget and click the small edit icon Edit

    The configuration window for this widget opens.

    Add new search
  2. Optionally, click change widget icon if you want to replace the default icon for this widget.

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

  3. Optionally, uncheck Allow adding bookmarks in widget if you do not want users to be able to add bookmarks when using this widget in WAB.
  4. Click Add Bookmark.

    The new bokmark dialog opens. Now enter the Title of the bookmark that you wish to create and set the maps extent in the dialogs map window.

    Add bookmark

    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.

  5. Optionally click Add Folder.

    The new folder dialog opens. Now enter the Title of the folder that you wish to create.

    New Folder

    Check/un-check Folder expanded if you so choose.

  6. You can edit or delete existing bookmarks and/or folders by clicking the Edit icon or Delete icon.
    Edit Delete

    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.

Using the Enhanced Bookmark Widget

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.
