Authoring

Do dashboards have support for custom data visualizations and themes?

Dashboards do not support custom visualizations and themes. The embedded content element can be used to insert visualizations and content not supported out of the box. Many theme properties can be configured in the dashboard's theme settings.

Can I embed another app in a dashboard?

You can embed another app in a dashboard using the embedded content element.

Can I embed a dashboard in a web page?

You can embed a dashboard in an iFrame. It is recommended that you make your embedded dashboard as large as possible on the page to maximize usability.

Can I use maps created in both Map Viewer and Map Viewer Classic in my dashboard?

Yes. Web maps can be used in your dashboard regardless of the Map Viewer version used to create them.

Viewing

Does ArcGIS Dashboards support anonymous access to dashboards that are shared with everyone?

Dashboards that are shared with everyone can be viewed by anyone.

Can I view dashboards on a mobile device?

You can view dashboards on a mobile device. Dashboards cannot be authored or edited on a mobile device. Dashboard authors should take the time to design dashboards that work well and look good on a smaller screen. Limiting the number of elements and text displayed and taking advantage of a dashboard's ability to group and stack elements are ways to optimally design dashboards for mobile devices.
