What's new in version 2.3

ArcGIS Web AppBuilder (Developer Edition) 2.3 was released in January 2017. It includes the following features and enhancements:

Widgets

• A new Extent Navigate widget is available for navigating the map to its previous or next extent.
• The Add Data widget now supports adding layers from groups and local files including shapefiles, CSV, GPX, and GeoJSON.
• The Basemap Gallery widget has a new option to always synchronize with the basemap gallery setting of the organization at run time and allows you to import basemaps from a group.
• When running a query against a related table, all the related features listed in the Results panel can be highlighted on the map when you click the ellipsis (…) and choose Show All Related Records on the drop-down menu. Additionally, you can change the symbol at run time to highlight the query result differently on the map when running a query against a layer.

• The Summary widget now supports setting the auto-refresh interval.
• The Smart Editor widget now hides the cache layer from the app so it no longer shows in the Layer List and Legend widgets.
• The Coordinate widget now allows you to configure the display order of the coordinates.

• The Incident Analysis widget adds options to configure labels for Locate Incident and Incident and to select the units to display wind speed.

• The Info Summary widget allows you to group features based on renderer and has better support across all themes.
