You can configure your ArcGIS Online website to showcase the geographic information that's important to the organization. You can configure general settings such as adding a logo and specifying whether members can search for content outside the organization. You can also configure the home page, the gallery, the map, item details, groups, utility services, user types and roles, credits, and security and enable Open Data. Some configuration is done as part of the subscription activation, for example, setting up your organization's URL.
Tip:
You can search for specific settings by using the search bar on the Settings tab of your organization.
Use groups to configure the site
Groups are a way to organize and share content around a specific topic or common activity. You also use them to configure your organization's featured content, basemaps, and app galleries. After you activate your subscription and configured general settings for your organization, consider setting up groups to use for the rest of the site configuration.
The first step is to create groups for each area of the site where you want custom content. This might include a group for the home page, gallery, basemaps, and group app gallery. Share these groups with the organization or the public so they appear in the list of groups for each configuration setting. Private groups will not appear in the lists.
The next step is to share items to the group you've created. Each item should be shared with the organization and, if you allow anonymous access to the organization, shared with everyone (public). You can create and share items, and you can share public items you find in ArcGIS Online, including ArcGIS Living Atlas content.
The last step is to choose the group to use in each part of the site configuration. For example, you can configure Map Viewer to use your basemap group. As part of the configuration, you can add the Esri default basemaps or apps to the group, and update the sort field and order of the items in the group.
After you set up groups for the site configuration, going forward, you can manage content through the groups. For example, you can add and remove the specific maps and apps you feature on the home page.
