Display apps, data, and web maps

Site and page editors can use the following cards to display a variety of content directly on their sites and pages, including dashboards, stories, documents, and even other sites and pages:

  • Gallery card—Display a variety of content or events, including those that are part of a site, initiative, or project catalog, and public or organizational content that is not shared to a catalog. This card is mobile responsive, meaning content will display correctly on any size of device.
    License:
    The events feature requires a license to ArcGIS Hub Premium.
  • Category card—Display datasets and other content types by category (a pre-filtered search of your site catalog by groups, tags, or categories). Choose an icon to represent each category you create.
  • Map card—Display a web map or web scene on your site. Using row card settings, you can adjust its display to span the entirety of your site or display it next to other content at a fixed width.
  • Application card—Displays a supported ArcGIS application, such as web apps, dashboards, Insights pages, Experience Builder web apps, and storymaps.
Note:

Displaying content on a site or page does not automatically add the item or items to the site's content catalog. When using the Gallery, Map, and Application card, you must also add the item to your site's content catalog if you want it to be discoverable in your site's search results. For more information, refer to Add existing content.

Common items displayed on sites and pages include dashboards, stories, and web maps. These items are created and managed in ArcGIS Online. When populating a card with content, you can choose from your own content or content that's been shared with your groups, your organization, or the public.

Display a gallery of content

Use the Gallery card to display content items or events with their thumbnail and summary. Visitors can open an item in a gallery by selecting the item's card. Populate the gallery using a content or event catalog, or by selecting individual items. You can also use a variety of filters to configure a Gallery card such as type, sharing level, tags, groups, and more.

To display a gallery of content or events, complete the following steps:

  1. Open a site or page in edit mode.
  2. On the Customize panel, select Layout.
  3. Drag a Gallery card onto a row in the layout.

      If you change the source selection, the Filters field will reset.

  7. To limit the number of content items or events that display, enter a value under Limit results.

  2. On the Customize panel, select Layout.

    Note:
    Custom icons should be saved as a .svg or transparent .png file. Icons will be scaled to fit 120x120 pixels.

  8. Select Save layout.

Display a map

Use the Map card to display a web map or web (3D) scene directly on the site or page.

Note:

If you're currently using an Iframe card to embed a web map or web scene, consider using the Map card instead, as it is easier to configure and is more performant.

  2. On the Customize panel, select Layout.
  3. Drag a Map card onto a row in the layout.

  8. Select Enable map legend to display a legend.
  9. Select Hide on mobile if you don't have a mobile version of the map.

    If you have a version of the item that's better suited for mobile devices, you can add the item under the Mobile option and use the Default option for the original item.

  10. Select the toggle buttons for Enable sharing, and Button always visible, if needed.
  11. Select Save layout.

Use the Application card to display an item directly on the site or page. The following items are supported:

    Tip:
    Scrolling is not always suitable on mobile devices as a user may be unable to pass over the application. Ensure that a scrollable iframe works on a mobile device before applying your changes.

    If you have a version of the item that is more suitable for mobile devices, you can add the item under the Mobile option and use the Default option for the original item.
