Use the Attachment Viewer template to provide an immersive experience for users to page through a layer's features and review image, video, and PDF attachments. This is a good choice for presenting data and images collected with ArcGIS apps such as ArcGIS Collector and ArcGIS Survey123. Choose an attachment focused layout to display individual images beside your map or a map focused layout to highlight your map beside a gallery of images. (To learn more, see the blog article about using Attachment Viewer.)
Examples
Choose this template to create an app for use cases such as the following examples:
- Review photos collected during emergency response damage inspections.
- Display the results of field data collection and support the downloading of images for inclusion in a report.
- Present a map of land parcel along with associated documents stored as attachments.
Data requirements
The Attachment Viewer app requires a feature layer with attachments. It includes the capability to view attachments of a hosted feature service or an ArcGIS Server feature service (10.8 or later). Currently, the app can display JPEG, JPG, PNG, GIF, MP4, QuickTime (.mov), and PDF files in the viewer window. All other attachment types are displayed as a link.
App capabilities
The following list includes some key settings and capabilities that you can configure for this app:
- Map focused layout—Displays the map in the main panel of the app with a gallery of attachments.
- Attachment focused layout—Displays one attachment at a time in the main panel of the app with the map on the side.
- Feature selection—Allows app viewers to select features in the map and view associated attachments.
- Navigation boundary—Keeps the area in the map in focus by using a navigation boundary or disabling the ability to scroll.
- Zoom, pan, and download attachments—Allows app viewers to interact with and download attachments.
All Instant Apps templates have settings to include a Home button and zoom controls, a legend, and the ability to search the map or data.
