This workshop will introduce you to ArcGIS Experience Builder, a new development platform from Esri that allows you to build custom Web apps for desktop and mobile devices using a drag-and-drop interface. You will learn how to develop an app using Experience Builder’s layout and widget options, as well as some best practices for integrating Experience Builder into a larger user-interface design process and optimizing your app’s interface for greater usability.

About this itemThis Experience Builder App combines two story maps and a webmap that showcase Moorhead's River Corridor Trail System. The first Storymap and landing page describes the history of the trail's development and details how it was built in phases and involved partnerships with multiple organizations. The second Storymap focuses on the newly installed interpretive signs highlighting local and natural history, as well as environmental lessons. The Webmap lets users explore the corridor digitally, or helps them navigate while using the trail. The experience can be accessed by scanning a QR code printed on the interpretive signs along the trail. During the summer of 2024, a Survey 123 questionnaire was integrated into the Experience to collect demographic data about trail users as well as feedback about their experience while using the trail. By combining multiple apps into one, this reduces the number of links on the city webpage and users are presented with a more cohesive experience.

Hosted Feature ServiceThe heart of the Idaho Trails Experience web app is the geographic data served by the Idaho Recreation Trails collection of Hosted Feature Layers. The Hosted service can be updated more frequently and on-the-fly than the previous technology used to maintain Idaho Trails-- changes now appear on the App and through the Feature Service in real time. The newest web presentation technology under AGOL, Experience Builder, served by this dataset, will make possible several extended features to come in future updates to the App.Under the hood Linear routes, closure routes and areas, and boundary area data are ported through a Web Map from the underlying Hosted Feature Layers. In addition to view settings for attributes popups set in the Web Map, additional visibility option not managed directly in the Hosted Feature data or controllable in the Web Map will be further processed in the Experience App presentation.Underlaying Classes in the Dataset: One single linear class "Idaho Routes" contains all road and trail features (59,000+ route segment features): Routes characterized as recreational in nature include "High Clearance" (previously "Jeep" treated as a road type, now as a full-width "trail" type): High-clearance, Special Vehicle Designation (mostly OHVs >50"), OHVs 50" and under, and single-track (each width class separated by seasonal and not); E-Bike; and, non-motorized and non-mechanized.Routes where vehicles either must be highway-legal (OHVs prohibited; typically paved roads), or routes requiring Restricted plate for legal OHV travel (mostly JURISDICTION = County); combined from previously-separate Layers: Highway-legal, Automobile, Other Roads (each with subcategories for seasonal access restrictions). (Note: Different route types are no longer kept in separate layers as with the legacy Map Service dataset. Route symbology, and selectable visibility will be filtered based on the value in the SYMBOL attribute from the above linear class within the Web Map and Experience-based App. If dynamically consuming the Feature Service, provisions will need to be made to filter to select visibility by road and trail types based on the value in the SYMBOL field.)"Points of Interest" (point type data) is comprised of a layer previously titled "Trailheads" and now includes the flexibility of other types of lat/lon point-based information such as links to external maps and "attractions" information such as site seeing destinations not previously included in IDPR's map presentation. "Emergency Route Closures" contains linear route Closures (overlays any route where a Closure Order applies in web map)"Area Restrictions" is added for areas such as defined by human exclusion Orders (polygon; usually planned annual human or vehicle exclusion areas, but can be emergency closure as well)Multiple "Boundary" polygon classes contain boundary outlines and attributes information for IDPR Regions (3), Counties (44), Wildernesses (42), National Forests and Ranger Districts (39), and BLM District and Field Offices (12), and BLM land units (700+). These separate classes reduce the data footprint of the Routes data and are joined in App popups by geographic Intersection logic. Bonus Material:Added to the web app are several optional, dynamic layers via publicly-available REST services selectable for visibility:NIFC Current and Historic Fire primetersIdaho Department of Lands- Lands Available for Recreational Use (visible by-default)Idaho Department of Fish & Game Hunting Units boundaries and numbers BLM Surface Management Agency layer for all local, state, and federal agencies which manage public lands (accessible, and not) US Forest Service Motor Vehicle Use Map, National Dataset (mirrors local MVUM paper and GeoPDF maps, where data available, lags local data when changes are made)National Park Service (NPS) Parks and Monuments areas and boundariesNOHRSC Snow Depth Other REST Services to be added based on utility in researching recreational accessThis dataset is published for the use of the individuals who fund this Program. Organizations wishing to consume this Feature Service into their own application should inquire to IDPR to obtain a use agreement and schema information to aid in development.AGOL Experience App here: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/97a42a2a73c944ba918042faf518c689 Inquire to maps@idpr.idaho.gov

The Fireshed Registry 2.0 Web Map contains all data used in the Fireshed Registry 2.0 ArcGIS Experience Builder application. The Fireshed Registry is a U.S. Forest Service (USFS) application that organizes information about wildfire risk, ecosystem values and community characteristics into geographic landscape containers called firesheds that are used to describe past activity, present conditions, and past and predicted wildfires. The original Fireshed Registry Dashboard application was initially released in 2021 in response to the impacts of the 2020 fire season that prompted wide-ranging policy discussions about the role of active forest management to reduce hazardous fuels on federal and private wildlands (Ager et. al 2021). The Fireshed Registry is the data backbone for the Scenario Investment Planning Platform, which simulates specific investment scenarios and resulting possible outcomes for reducing wildfire transmission to communities. This updated Fireshed Registry 2.0 is a public-facing ArcGIS Online Experience Builder application that presents updated data and information used in the original Fireshed Registry dashboard, but also utilizes data directly from the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) where authoritative data published by the USFS is stored. The Fireshed Registry 2.0 also incorporates Expanded Fireshed Exposure Map data layers that were compiled to support identification of potential additional landscapes for focused work under the Wildfire Crisis Strategy (WCS). Utilizing authoritative EDW data allows for more rapidly refreshed and up-to-date data to be incorporated, while data compiled to support identification of additional WCS landscapes allows for the visualization of additional ecological and community values to identify exposure and vulnerability.More information about the Fireshed Registry 2.0 and source data can be found in the Fireshed Registry 2.0 Data Documentation PDF.

This web map was developed from modeling and map deliverables for the Cape Fear 02/03 Regional Watershed Plan (RWP) conducted by VHB Inc. on behalf of the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS). The Cape Fear RWP was initiated in April 2020 and completed in February 2022. The map and application were updated and re-deployed in Experience Builder in April 2025. The RWP planning process included an assessment of watershed and stream conditions, watershed modeling at the catchment scale and identification of restoration and enhancement opportunities. The Cape Fear River Basin has undergone extensive land use conversion in the last decade and development pressures are projected to increase, particularly in the Deep and Haw River subbasins, and portions of both comprise the 620 square mile planning area. The planning process was also an opportunity to support and build upon existing stakeholder processes and ongoing efforts from engaged landowners, NGOs and local government agencies to identify watershed needs and implement improvement projects. A significant amount of the Cape Fear River Basin upstream of the RWP area drains into and through the planning area. Within the planning area and subbasins there remain significant habitats for natural communities and state and federally listed species, NC DWR classified Surface Water Supply Watersheds, Nutrient Sensitive Waters, Critical Areas as well as Impaired Waters, 303d-listed streams exceeding criteria with TMDL required. Metadata for all attributes and layers can be found here. Factsheet with links to full watershed plan assessments and reports can be found here. DMS Planning uses a watershed approach to determine priority areas for implementation of mitigation projects. The purpose of this approach is to concentrate mitigation resources in areas where they will have the greatest benefit to local watershed functions. The DMS watershed approach applies multi-scale watershed planning to set and achieve goals for maintaining and improving aquatic resources throughout the state. Regional Watershed Plans (RWPs) build upon existing DMS planning efforts, such as Local Watershed Plans (LWPs) and River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRPs), as well as stakeholder momentum. RWPs evaluate aquatic resource conditions, and identify priorities based upon watershed functions. This regional plan includes management strategies and implementation recommendations that may be applied to smaller catchment areas (2 to 5 sq mi) based upon existing data and modeled watershed conditions. This allows DMS to focus implementation of compensatory mitigation projects in watersheds that exhibit the greatest opportunity for improvement.The Cape Fear RWP planning area includes portions of HUC8s 03030002 and 03030003, as well as Randolph, Alamance, Guilford, Orange, Lee, Wake and Chatham counties. All or portions of the towns of Pittsboro, Siler City, Liberty, Staley, Sanford and Moncure are within the planning area, which is comprised of the following HUC12s: 030300020504, 030300020505, 030300020508, 030300020509, 030300020701, 030300020702, 030300020703, 030300020704, 030300020705, 030300030201, 030300030202, 030300030206, 030300030501, 030300030502, 030300030503, 030300030504, 030300030505, 030300030506, 030300030507, 030300030508, 030300030509, 030300030608.For any inquiries please contact the Division of Mitigation Services Watershed Planning team.
