Filter records in a List widget based on selected records of another List widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder

Summary

The List widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder displays data records based on the selected data source defined by a feature layer. In some cases, it is necessary to filter the List widget to only display the records related to a selected record from another List widget. This article describes how to filter the records in a List widget based on selected records of another List widget by adding action triggers to the widget.

In this example, the first List widget is configured to display the records of counties in Oregon, and the second List widget is configured to display the records of existing schools in Oregon. The second List widget is filtered to display records of schools located within a county selected in the first List widget.
