How can I display multiple points when clicking on a single card on the Map tour template?

Hello community,

I'm working with the Map Tour template in ArcGIS StoryMaps and have a list of 46 projects to showcase. Some of these projects have multiple locations within the same general area, and I’d like to group those locations under a single card. Ideally, I’d like users to be able to click on a single card and see two or more points appear on the map. I tried using the multipoint feature, but ArcGIS Online doesn’t support that functionality.

Has anyone found a workaround or method to display multiple points from a single card in a Map Tour?

Thanks in advance!

The workaround we have been using to do something like a Map Tour with multipoint "points" is to use a Sidecar with an Express Map:

1. Insert a Sidecar into your story.
2. Add an Express Map to the first slide's main media area, and add all of your points to the Express Map.
   • You may find it helpful to use the group function to put all of the points for one project in the same group, as it makes it easier to style them all in one go in later steps.
   • If you don't want popups on mouse-over for each point, then leave the fields empty for each point. Otherwise, if you do want popups, then you probably want to paste the same information into each point that is part of the same project.
3. Duplicate the first slide, and edit the express map to change the color of all the points associated with your first project to make them stand out from the rest. (If you grouped the points in step #2, then you can do this all in one go, rather than idividually.)
   • Enter information about the project in the slide's text and extra media area.
4. Repeat Step #3 for each project you have.
5. Hide (or delete) the first slide with all the points, if you don't need an overview slide with all the project points, and none of them highlighted.

One of the shortcomings of this approach is if you need to add more points after you've made your initial Express Map. You would need to add the new points to original and each duplicate of the Express Map. 

Hope that helps!
