The Category Gallery template is a group-based app you can use to build a gallery of maps, scenes, apps, and layers and provide an interactive experience to filter the content in the gallery. You can categorize group content into themes or topics and expose them to users as filtering options.
Category Gallery presents content from a group with a variety of ways to filter and sort the items with options to apply your organization's content categories or categories from your group. Filters in the app are preserved in the URL, allowing users to share the app with filters in their current state. Choose to show information about items on each item card, including description, owner, date created, date modified, and view count. (To learn more, see the blog article about using Category Gallery.)
