Each site template includes a unique set of predesigned apps, sites, pages, and web maps that site editors can configure with their organization's content and branding. Some templates may only include a site, while others may contain a combination of items.
Tip:
You do not need to configure every item included with a template. You can also add your own items to a site's content catalog and feature them on the site along with configured template content.
Configure template content
After activating a template, you can configure any apps or other items included.
To configure a solution, complete the following steps:
- Sign in to ArcGIS Hub.
- In your user workspace, select the Content pane.
If needed, select your user profile and select View workspace to open your user workspace.
- Select the name of the templated site to view it.
- Select an item from the layout to configure it with your data, text, and branding. Select the Manage item
button to go to the item's workspace. If template items do not appear on the site layout or in the site catalog (in the site workspace), follow the steps to Configure a site catalog and Add existing content to add these items to the catalog.You can edit Hub items in their respective workspaces. For example, you can manage a content item in the content workspace. Edit non-Hub items in their respective editors or in ArcGIS Online. For example, an ArcGIS StoryMaps story opens in its editor and you can format it with your text and images. Access configuration options from the item's details page in ArcGIS Online.
Add template content to a layout
After configuring content that's included with a template, you can add it to a site or page layout.
Tip:
Some templates include pages. This means that you can feature a solution on a page layout. You can also create a page for showcasing the solution. You can add navigation from your site to the page using a menu link, gallery card, or button link.
For example, a template includes a web map that the site manager configures using their organization's data. To add the web map to the site layout, open the site in edit mode and edit the placeholder Map card. In the side panel, select the recently configured map.
To ensure that the map is shared with the appropriate audience, open the item's content workspace and adjust its sharing controls. See Design the site layout and Display apps, data, and web maps for more information.
