Now Available: VertiGIS Studio Web 5.38

This release of VertiGIS Studio Web delivers a wide range of powerful new capabilities, with major enhancements to application interactivity, search configuration, and overall stability. Version 5.38 introduces a suite of new layer interaction events, a cascading search workflow template for guided queries, and numerous improvements to the printing and App Designer experience.

✨ New Features

• Dynamic Layer Interaction Events: A new suite of event listeners allows for the creation of highly interactive and context-aware applications based on how the end-user interacts with the Layer List. You can now listen for layer clicks, mouse hovers over layers, when a layer is added, and for changes to a layer's definition expression.
• Cascading Search Workflow Template: A new workflow template has been added, making it much easier for an administrator to configure dependent, multi-level search experiences. This allows for the creation of intuitive guided searches where an end-user's selection in one field (e.g., "State") automatically filters the available choices in a subsequent field (e.g., "City").
• Runtime-Configurable Search Options: Certain search options can be configured directly in the live application, giving end-users the flexibility to tailor their search experience on the fly.
• Standardized Printing with Fixed Scales: Support for fixed print scales configuration has been added to improve control over printed map outputs.
• Disable "MAP ONLY" Tab: The administrator now has an option in the App Designer to disable the "MAP ONLY" tab in the results component.

🛠️ Behavioral Changes and UX Improvements

• Case-Insensitive Queries & Auto-Suggestions: The Query Builder now supports case-insensitive queries and auto-suggestions, making the search experience more forgiving and helping the end-user find features without needing to know the exact case or spelling of an attribute.
• Improved Print Layout Packages Filtering: The App Designer now filters portal items to display only general Layout Packages, excluding Map Books, for a cleaner configuration experience.
• Improved Gen1 Layout Identification: Gen1 Legacy Layouts now display a mini icon in the App Designer's List view for easier visual identification.
• Honoring Pop-up Configuration: Added support for configuring standard identify tools to only include layers where pop-ups have been enabled.
• Improved Performance: Enhanced performance when loading a high number of records in the Result Details panel.

🚀 Security and Technology

• VertiGIS Studio Web has been updated to use the newest patch version of 4.33 of the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript.
• The platform has been updated to integrate with VertiGIS Studio Workflow 5.47.
• The react-ui library has been upgraded to MUI 7.
• The services project linting has been modernized and updated to the latest Web SDK.

🐞 Bug Fixes

This release includes numerous fixes that improve stability and performance across the platform. Key issues addressed include problems with the identify function in the 2D-3D Multi Layout template, toolbar styling, and the system.open-url command in deployed apps. We have also resolved issues with the EagleView integration, system.repeat-action command, and inconsistencies in the basemap picker and map context menu. For printing, bugs affecting layout parameters, extent locking, and deployment have been fixed. The App Designer has also received many updates, resolving issues with "Get Configuration", library uploads, and the handling of various component settings.
