Feature selection is not honored in the ArcGIS Experience Builder Analysis widget

Description

In ArcGIS Experience Builder, the Analysis widget includes all features in the input layer for a spatial analysis tool, ignoring feature selection from a connected widget, as demonstrated in the Map and Analysis widgets below.

This issue also occurs in other widgets used for feature selection.

Cause

The Analysis widget currently does not support feature selection from connected widgets as the input source, so it does not automatically filter or limit the input based on the selected features.

Solution or Workaround

Note:
Ensure the Set as Analysis input data action is checked under Data action on the Action tab of the connected widgets before configuring the data action for the selected features.

Use the Select widget

1. Open the ArcGIS Experience Builder web experience for editing. Refresh the web experience, if necessary.
2. Navigate to the Insert widget panel.
3. On the New tab, under the Data centric group, drag and drop the Select widget onto the canvas. Configure the parameters for the Select widget. Refer to ArcGIS Experience Builder: Settings for more information.
4. On the builder toolbar, click Live view.
5. On the canvas, in the Select widget, select an interactive selection tool.

6. Draw the selection on the Map widget to select the features. In this example, five features are selected.

7. In the Select widget, click Actions > Set as Analysis input.

8. In the Set as Analysis input window, configure the following parameters:
   1. For Select a tool, select the tool from the drop-down menu.
   2. For Select a parameter, select the input parameter.
   3. Click OK.

Note:
Alternatively, use the Table widget. After selecting the intended features using the Select tool in the Map widget, set the features as the analysis input using the Actions button in the Table widget. Then, repeat Step 8 from the solution above.

The Analysis widget below includes only the selected features from the connected Map widget as the input for the Create Buffers tool.
