Authoring

Do dashboards have support for custom data visualizations?

No. Dashboards do not support custom visualizations. The embedded content element can be used to insert visualizations and content not supported out of the box.

Can I embed another app in a dashboard?

Yes, 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 the 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?

Viewing

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

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

Can I view dashboards on a mobile device?

Yes, you can view dashboards on a mobile device. When you open a dashboard on a mobile device, if the dashboard author has created a mobile view, that view loads. Dashboards that do not have a mobile view configured load the desktop view on mobile devices. Dashboard authors should take the time to create a mobile view for their dashboard so it loads optimally on mobile devices.

Dashboards cannot be authored or edited on a mobile device.

Can I view dashboards on a tablet?

Yes, you can view dashboards on a tablet. When you open a dashboard on a tablet, the dashboard's desktop view loads.
