Chapter 3
This chapter introduces Experience Builder and shows us the basics such as templates, themes, widgets, pages, windows, layouts, ect. It also talks about using Experience Builder to create web experiences. A widget is a JavaScript and HTML component that encapsulates a set of focused functions. Experience Builder provides basic and layout widgets. Tutorial 3:1 is about using Experience Builder to create a web app. It was interesting to learn how to create a simple ‘web experience’. I got a little stuck on tutorial 3:3, I could not find the statistics tab in the dynamic content window, so I moved on to 3:4. I was unable to complete 3:4. The beginning of the tutorial had me drag the table widget onto the page and then in the settings pane click ‘new sheet’. However, there was no “new sheet” button in the contents pane so I could not finish it.
Chapter 4- mobile GIS
This chapter first starts off with an overview of mobile GIS. There are lots of advantages to mobile GIS but because of the size of mobile devices, CPU speed, memory size, battery power, bandwidth and network are all limited. The first tutorial is Design a survey for ArcGIS Survey 123. It was just making a survey. It was easy, except in step 13 it said to “click the Incident Type question, and click Set Rule icon”, which was impossible to do because there was no Rule icon where the book said it was going to be nor anywhere else I looked. This did not ruin the rest of the tutorial for me though. The next step was to download an app on my phone for the survey I just created. 4:3 was fine, but there was no “change style” button underneath the layer name that I could see, so I could not do that section.
