When you add drawings then use the print utility is there a way for a legend of your drawings to show on the print out?

[JeremieCornet1]

Hi George Katsambas‌, as far as i know, graphics cannot be added to the legend.

[MichaelMacfarlane]

It looks like if you turn on the flag "isOperationalLayer", it will add the graphics as features, which will then show up in the legend. In the Draw widget, they end up being labeled "Override 1", etc. Draw—Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) | ArcGIS for Developers

Hello,

I notice this was mentioned earlier in the thread, but has anyone been able to incorporate multi-line text within this widget? I've gotten a request to add in the capability to this widget and figured I should start here first. It seems like it would be a large undertaking.

[JeremieCornet1]

Hi Sam Jehle‌, the TextSymbol does'nt support multi-line in Esri JavaScript API 3.x (the one used by WAB 2D applications) so this is not possible.

[SamJehle1]

Thanks for the quick response, Jeremie.

Jeremie, Outstanding. Fantastic. Moving this to all our viewers stat!

Can someone give an example/better description of how the Local Storage option works?

The way I read it, if in App 1, you set Local storage key to 'xx1234', then if that same user uses App 2 which also has the key 'xx1234', then any drawings made in App 1 will show?

I thought initially that by setting 'Local Storage Key' to a server path then perhaps All users of the App would draw into that common repository....but the help is a little sparse so I'm not really sure what the correct usage of it is?

I want to know if its possible for multiple anonymous users to draw into the same file (held on a server)? (The list of people who can actually access the app and therefore who can draw into the file will be controlled via portal, likely only 2 people max)..kind of like a poor mans enterprise DB I guess.

Hi NZ GeoCAD‌,

The local storage is a browser storage. It is dependant to the computer, the user (e.g. computer user not arcgis user) and the browser used. Web storage - Wikipedia 

So, no sharing between users is possible.

A user can share his drawings between multiple apps if this conditions are met :

- same computer

- same user

- the applications are all in the same domain (http://mydomain.com/app1 and http://mydomain.com/app2)

- the same storage key is defined for eDraw in all this applications

Jeremie Cornet‌ - attempting to utilize the latest version 2.8.1 with esri WAB 2.8 - works great but does not appear to be calculating acres properly.  It is almost doubling the values - known 640 acres shows up as 1248 acres. Tested the demo you have here with the same results: ArcGIS Web Application  

This is such an awesome tool and heavily used by my users.  Greatly appreciate your team putting this together.

Thanks!
