You can create a web app by putting a shared group of content into an ArcGIS Instant Apps template. These group-based apps display the items in a group and related details about the items, such as the item type and description. The templates offer different options for customizing the appearance and behavior of an app. Some display the maps, scenes, and apps in the group. Others display maps only. They are sometimes called gallery apps since they display the collection of items in a group. Once you have found an app template you like, publish the app to ArcGIS Online. You need privileges to create content to publish an app.
Any changes made to the group or items in the group are reflected in the app. If an item that was public or shared with the group is made private or is deleted, the item no longer appears in the app. To share an app with another organization or the public, the group and all the items in the group must be shared publicly. If the group is private, only group members who sign in to the website can see items in the app. If you are the group owner and want to share the app with the widest audience, consider making the group and its items available to everyone (public).
To create an app starting from a group page, complete the following steps:
- Verify that you are signed in and have privileges to create and share content.
- Open the group you want to use to create an app.
- On the Overview tab, click Create web app.
- Do one of the following:
- Click Instant Apps. The ArcGIS Instant Apps home page appears and you can create an app.
- Click Embed (deprecated). The embed dialog box appears and you can embed a group.
