Display statistical numbers without graphs in the Chart Widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder

Summary

This article discusses an alternate workflow for configuring a graph using the Number template from the Web AppBuilder Infographic widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder.

The Infographic widget in Web AppBuilder provides a Number template that allows you to visualize and monitor attributes and statistical data in the map and from extra data sources. According to the Widget functionality matrix documentation, the Chart widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder is equivalent to the Infographic widget in ArcGIS Web AppBuilder. The Chart widget requires a chart type to display data, and there is no option to hide the graph component for users who only want to display a statistical number. 

This behavior is by design. The Chart widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder is intended to visualize data graphically and does not include settings to display only numerical summaries or totals without a chart type.

Procedure

An alternate solution is to use the dynamic content in the Text widget. For example, you can configure the Text widget to display the total number of points from the statistics operation.

In this example, we are using the data from https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/USA/MapServer/0 to display the total number of features from this layer.

1. Add a Map widget and connect it to the web map.
2. Add a Text widget to the Experience Builder editor.
3. Under the Text widget configuration, enable 'Connect to data' > Select data > Choose the layer for statistical analysis.
4. This example uses the Cities layer. Multiple layers can be selected for the data sources for the Text widget.

5. Highlight the text element in the Experience Builder editor. Hover over the data icon, to see Dynamic content.

6. There is an option to also add an Arcade script to display dynamic content.

7. When opening the Dynamic content window, go to the Statistics tab to configure the dynamic content to display the total number of features based on the field.
8. Under Operator, in this demo, COUNT is selected to display the number of counts based on the OBJECTID.

9. In this example, the total number of features on the map are displayed, as shown in the image below.
