Time Animation in Story Map not Working

Question

Hello!

I've created multiple time enabled maps that will show me the time animation in ArcGIS Pro, and continue to do so when exported as a web map to ArcGIS Online. But once I add the web map to the Story Maps, it will not do the time animation, and it appears that my time interval is resetting everytime I fix it. I reset the time interval, save the web map, and then it gets the same error that says "No Time Extent."

I believe the reason my animation isn't working is due to the time interval effectively being 0 and thus not animating because there is no data filtered. But how do I get it to save and use the proper interval (1 year, sometimes 1 month).

Thank you for any and all help!

Hi Abby,

It appears that every time I reopen the web map, regardless of what I set it to before, it resets. I have to click to go back into the time slider to get it to restart.

Attached are photos of the time slider initially when I open the webmap, and the settings when I open them.

Hi @MarjorieRhodes ,

Could you share your other time-enabled layers settings within the Time slider options? And if possible, could you share a screen shot of the failure to add the time-enabled layer in the story?

I'd make sure the time-enabled layer uses the "Play from position saved with the map" Playback position setting. Other than that, I'm curious what the start/end time and intervals are set to if the time isn't registering.
