The Bookmark widget stores a collection of map view extents (that is, spatial bookmarks) displayed in the app. It also allows you to create and add your spatial bookmarks through configuration or at run time after the app starts. In addition, if there are any existing bookmarks defined in the map, you can use them in the app optionally.
Note:
You can edit bookmarks added by themselves after an app starts. However, you can't remove preconfigured bookmarks in the app.
Configure the Bookmark widget
This widget can be set to open automatically when
an app starts. Click the Do not open this widget when
the app starts button 
on the widget to turn on the option to open the widget automatically. (For widgets you need to add to the app first, you can make this setting after configuring the widget.)

to open the configuration window.Note:
If you need to add the widget to the app first, click a widget placeholder on the Widget tab. In the Choose Widget window that opens, select the widget and click OK.

A file explorer window opens, allowing you to browse to a local image file to use as the widget icon.
- The bookmarks are displayed in the cards view by default. Check the List option if you want to display them in the list view.
If both the Cards view and List view options are checked, the cards view will be set as default. If you want to set the list view as default, hover over the left side of the list view and a Make as default button will appear. If you click the Make as default button, you can set the list view as default.
- Allow to add bookmarks in the widget enables you to control whether end users can add bookmarks by themselves when the app starts.
Save layer visibility enables the end users to save the visibility setting of the operational layers when a bookmark is created.

Note:
If the Save layer visibility box is checked at the configuration window, the newly added bookmark will save not only the current map extent but also the layer visibility setting. If a bookmark is saved with the layer visibility setting, a small icon
will show at the lower left corner of the thumbnail icon to differentiate it from the bookmarks without layer visibility settings. Notice that the newly added bookmark displays separately from predefined bookmarks.
