Display multiple views of a web scene with different symbology in ArcGIS Experience Builder

Last Published: April 18, 2025

Summary

Multiple views of a web scene enable the comparison of different scenarios by varying data classifications, levels of detail, and spatial extents. In Scene Viewer, web scene slides capture distinct views with selected basemaps, layer visibility, and extents, allowing quick navigation to specific areas. The Bookmark widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder converts these slides into interactive buttons that switch between predefined views within the experience. Clicking a bookmark updates the scene to its corresponding view, replicating the slide functionality in Scene Viewer.

This article describes the workflow to display multiple views of a web scene with different symbology in ArcGIS Experience Builder using the Bookmark widget.

Procedure

  1. In Scene Viewer, use Slide Manager to create multiple bookmarks representing different views of the web scene. Refer to ArcGIS Online: Capture a slide for instructions.

    2. In the Insert widget panel, drag and drop the Map widget to the canvas.
    3. In the Map pane, add the web scene. Refer to ArcGIS Experience Builder: Add data to an app for instructions.
  2. Add and configure the Bookmark widget to display a list of bookmarks showing different views of the web scene.
    1. In the Insert widget panel, drag and drop the Bookmark widget to the canvas.
    2. In the Bookmark pane, select a template and click Start. In this example, the List template is selected.
