What's new

The ArcGIS Instant Apps update includes the new features, app templates, and enhancements listed below.

Instant Apps home

  • New popover style onboarding is available on the Instant Apps home page. From the header, click Learn more to open a side panel with tips and information about getting started. Information pop-ups appear and can be dismissed as needed.

Configuration

  • Language switcher is now available in Portfolio.
  • When in full setup mode, pop-up configuration settings can now be found under the Interactivity tab in the Explore/navigate options instead of the About tab.
  • When enabling web analytics for your app, Universal Analytics has been replaced with Google Analytics 4. For more information, see the deprecation notice from Google.

Templates

  • Atlas is a new app template that showcases maps, layers, and groups and includes lightweight tools to discover, view, and explore curated maps and layers. Users can search locations, measure distance and area, view data as a table, and read layer details. They can also modify a map with sketch tools, add more layers, adjust transparency, and switch between 2D and 3D views.
  • Manager is a new app template that allows app users to locate, review, and filter records on a map or table and modify data in editable feature layers. After reviewing data, users can edit attributes, attachments, and related records of features. Manager also includes a basic set of map exploration tools to help navigate the maps.
  • Reporter is a new app template that allows app users to submit issues and observations about a specific area using a smart form. Reporter supports the enabling of commenting on existing reports, voting on reports using likes and dislikes, and a set of basic map exploration tools to navigate the map and submitted reports. This app replaces the Crowdsource Polling and Crowdsource Reporter configurable app templates.
  • Attachment Viewer now supports an autoplay configuration option. You can enable autoplay, which automatically cycles through features once users launch the app. You can also set the number of seconds each feature is displayed before moving to the next.
  • Exhibit now allows you to add visual emphasis to slide notes by using borders and drop shadows, as well as by adding a title and your own text to slide notes. Additionally, the option to include slide notes in list format in a side panel has been added.
  • Zone Lookup has improved sketch capabilities. App users can create a zone from a sketch or select a point, line, or polygon and apply a buffer.
