Frequently asked question
It is not possible to dock the pop-up window in ArcGIS Web AppBuilder. This is a known limitation. By default, the pop-up window is displayed next to the selected feature. This functionality may be available in ArcGIS Web AppBuilder (Developer Edition). However, Esri recommends users migrate to ArcGIS Experience Builder, since ArcGIS Web AppBuilder will be retired in July 2025 while the developer edition will retire in July 2024, coinciding with the retirement of ArcGIS API for JavaScript version 3.x. Refer to ArcGIS Web AppBuilder: What is ArcGIS Web AppBuilder? and ArcGIS Blog: ArcGIS Web AppBuilder roadmap for retirement for more information.
This article provides an example and instructions using ArcGIS Experience Builder and ArcGIS Instant Apps to dock the pop-up window.
Note: An alternative is to add the web map to the web experience in ArcGIS Experience Builder or web app in ArcGIS Instant Apps and click any feature on the map. Click the Dock icon in the pop-up window.
Apply the relevant workflows to dock the pop-up window in the desired location.
Note: Only one layer at a time can be linked as the data source in the Feature Info widget.
Note: Other ArcGIS Instant Apps templates such as the Media Map or Sidebar templates can also be utilized to dock the pop-up window or display it on the side panel.
