Share a theme

Note:

Themes can be shared in all Insights deployments. You must be signed in to an ArcGIS organization to share themes from Insights desktop. Themes can be saved locally without being signed in to an organization.

Themes are collections of settings on your ArcGIS Insights page, including colors, text, media, and card types. Themes can be saved, shared, and applied to new pages. Using themes can help you apply a consistent standard to your Insights pages.

Theme items are stored in your ArcGIS organization but can only be used in Insights.

Themes can be shared to create an Insights Theme item.

Complete the following steps to share your theme:

1. Click the Share and edit page button .
2. Click Share. The Share as window appears.
3. Change Type to Theme.
4. Optionally add a title, a description, and tags. If you've already shared a theme from the same page, the fields will be automatically updated for you. You can still edit any of the fields before sharing.
5. Choose how you want to share your theme. You can share the theme with the public, with your organization, or with select groups from your organization. If you don't make a selection, the theme will only be available to your account.
