Edit widget
In this topic
This widget provides editing capabilities using an editable layer in a feature service. It displays a gallery of templates from one or more feature layers. On the map, you can pick a symbol on the template to create a feature with the associated attribute inspector, or select an existing feature to update its geometry and attributes. If the feature layer supports attachments, the attribute inspector includes the ability to create, view, and delete attachments. Optionally, you can enable the toolbar for advanced feature editing.
Tip:
To use the Edit widget, you must have selected a map in the Map tab that has editable layers.
