ArcGIS Experience Builder was made to be more configurable and flexible than other apps. This chapter introduces the terminology of the software as well as the layout and templates, etc. A web experience contains at least one page but can also have multiple pages or windows. A page is a document rhat is the foundation for the app’s layout, you can choose from a template. Windows are complimentary to pages and only have body content. A web experience has one theme and each page can have one template. Experience Builder has two types of widgets: basic and layout. Basic widgets are functional and can perform as app tools. Layout widgets are containers that help to organize widgets.
Chapter 4:
This chapter provides an overview of Mobile GIS and three options for building apps. It introduces Esri mobile apps, and discusses the popular types of apps and frontiers. Some advantages of Mobile GIS are mobility, location awareness, ease of data collection, near-real-time information, large volume of users, and a versatile means of communication. Mobile app development includes many different approaches, browser-based, native-based, and hybrid-based. ArcGIS Field Maps is a new product that combines several previous products. It is an all-in-one solution that can support the different phases of field workflow.
Application:
I think it would be interesting to use this software to create apps that display environmental quality indicators, such as water quality, air pollution, and proximity to resources. This would be helpful for scientists and policymakers to identify areas and populations that are at risk or at future risk for environmental hazards. This would also be a great tool for the public as they could create buffer zones around their homes and they can see the highest risks in their local area.
