Each site has settings and capabilities that administrators, the site's owner, and site editors can configure.
Tip:
You may need to clear the cache or open the site in a new browser to view any changes.
Configure a favicon
Configure a favicon to add a small image that displays next to the site title in the browser tab.
To configure a favicon, complete the following steps:
- Edit a site layout.
- Click Settings on the side panel.
- On the About menu, click the Custom favicon toggle button to turn it on and enter a URL for the favicon image.
- Click Save settings.
Configure basemaps and extent
Set the basemap and extent to indicate the geographic area represented by your site. By default, on a content preview page, the map zooms to the extent of a dataset and displays the basemap set for the site. If the item extent is not set, the map shows the extent set for the site. If the extent or basemap is not set at the site level, the map uses the organization settings for each.
To configure the basemap and extent, complete the following steps:
- Edit a site layout.
- Click Settings on the side panel.
- In the About menu, click Set Basemap and use the drop-down menu to select a basemap.
Note:
If you don't see the custom basemap you want, add the basemap to the gallery or contact your organization administrator.
- Set the extent by zooming and panning to a location on the map.
- Click Apply.
- Click Save settings.
Configure meta tags
Site editors can add custom meta tags to sites. Meta tags are bits of HTML code crawled by search engines such as Google. Meta tags can help control and optimize how your site and pages appear in search engine results.
A common practice to prevent a site from showing in public internet search results is to apply the <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> tag. Site editors cannot override or replace default meta tags set by Hub such as "description", "title", and "og:image". Default "title" and "description" meta tags can be changed by modifying the site Name and Summary fields.
To configure meta tags, complete the following steps:
- Edit a site layout.
- Click Settings on the side panel.
- Click Meta tags to expand the section and enter meta tags.
Note:
Do not configure URL redirects on Hub sites using meta tags.
- Click Save settings.
Configure interactions
Administrators, site owners, and edit group members can enable or disable site interactions.
To configure site interactions, complete the following steps:
- Edit a site layout.
- Click Settings on the side panel.
- Click Interactions to expand the section and choose to enable or disable the following:
- Global navigation—See Configure global navigation and menu links.
- Product branding—The ArcGIS Hub product footer includes a Built with ArcGIS Hub label at the bottom of all pages on your site.
- Embedded apps—All sites have this setting to control how applications open when a user selects a configured gallery card, application card, or search result. Enable this setting if you want the application to open within the context of your site's header and global navigation bar (with information side panel). If the setting is disabled, the application will open externally.
- Embedded links—This setting controls how content opens that is registered as a document link in ArcGIS Online.Enable this setting if you want the item to open in an explore view, within the context of your site's header and global navigation bar (with information side panel). Document links may not always open as embedded, as many websites have security protocols that restrict embedding to one website only. If the setting is disabled, the application will open externally.
- Sharing—The share button
provides a link for general sharing on desktop and mobile views and enables
one-click sharing to social media. The button is located at the side of a site and any pages and views attached to it. - Content side panel—Enable the side panel that appears on all explore views to open automatically or remain closed for each of the apps, maps, data, and documents content families.
- Click Save settings.
