What are Custom Widgets in Web AppBuilder used for?

Custom Widgets in Web AppBuilder are designed to extend the functionalities of the web application. This means that users can create bespoke tools tailored to specific requirements that go beyond the out-of-the-box capabilities provided by the standard widgets.

Using custom widgets, developers can incorporate unique features, access additional data sources, or implement specific workflows that align with the needs of the organization or project. This flexibility allows for enhanced interactivity, improved user experiences, and specialized handling of geographic or spatial data that may not be covered by existing options.

The other choices focus on aspects that do not align with the primary purpose of custom widgets. Simplifying authentication processes, visualizing raw data without analysis, and creating static reports are functionalities that typically utilize existing tools and features within web applications rather than extending new functionalities through custom widget development.
