The popup window in arcgis online cannot be moved. It often pops up in a location that won't allow me to see the feature. It would be useful to be able to move it out of the way.
Please make it not just movable, but resizable as well!
And it would be very nice if the PopUp could be displayed in a side-panel.
what Joe, Yossi and Natalie and Mark just said. I heard they are waiting until API 4.x becoming the main API sometime mid next year. I thought this over. First, we need it asap, but also, we have a lot of 3.x sites and I don't think we'll be going 4.x any time soon. Maybe in a year. Some, longer. Esri Team - please consider letting 3.x API have moveable resizeable popups, too. Backport to 3.2x API in a future update, and in advance, Thank you. I have to say this is literally the highest priority for ArcGIS Online for us, end users almost every single one, ask for this especially if they move the map, hit the popup, drag, and the screen "goes blue". They ask, why can't I move the popup. Good question. Also, it gets in the way of the feature selected. It covers over it. Realtors like to ask that one, a lot!! I have posted a simple example as above of how to implement moveable popups. Yes we can implement it on custom sites. However, for hosted sites on Org accounts and for webmaps and story maps on Esri Org accounts we can't control the source code. Adding this would help Esri sell Org accounts and online products ($)... Seriously, though. That would be a great update for ArcGIS Online. This and relates as actual attribute fields inside popups. (for now we do sql views)
I noticed in ArcGIS Maps for Office 4.1 that the popups are movable.
Is that app built with something different that our out of the box Portal's Web AppBuilder applications?
kmsagis
Since ArcGIS Maps for Office requires Microsoft Office products... the program is written against the .net framework.
So yes, Portal is written using JavaScript modules. quite different.
I do totally relate to the AGO issue of the docked Identify window, but at the same time, I have a reverse issue in ArcGIS 10.5:
Once I identify a point, I would like to zoom into the point automatically, and once I do, have the Identify window dock to a position on the monitor so that I can actually SEE what it is I am identifying, instead of having to move it from being on top of the feature.
Another thing I'd like to do is customize the Identify window so that X amount of attributes for a layer are in one "field" and the other set of attributes are in the next "field" over. This would be similar to the Fields tab in the Properties for any layer
If there is a way to attach my illustrations to show what it is I am referring to I would love to hear it.
Thanks,
Daniel B
This is a wonderful idea! By far, this is the number one complaint from our users.
An ESRI rep did actually help me on a version of this--I partly say version because it required installation of Visual Studio 2015 before installing ArcObjects (how retarded is that). I drowned in guilt for our IT department but at least we got ArcObjects installed when we didn't have it before). Anyhow:
The zooming in part in relation to the ID window wasn't taken care of. Grr.
Although it says Under Consideration from other posts it appears it is In Product Plan (for the API itself and thus AGOL). Perhaps they can update or clarify in regards to the status badge in this post.
I'm cross-posting here if any are interested... it's easy to implement this in WebApp Builder. (see updated snippet in my last post on thread for most up-to-date version which removes the window anchor leader)
https://community.esri.com/message/596061?commentID=596061#comment-596061
Aside from adding resize I think this is all users want. I also make mine 90% opacity with plain CSS usually as well. A little design flair. : )
I need this (consistent Docking Functionality) in ArcGIS 10.6.1.
NOW.
Please.
In ArcMap, you can dock the Identify window to one side, set to autohide, then it will expand in the same place when you use the Identify tool rather than popping open wherever you left it last or in the middle of the map.
Just put up an app for a customer. Within the first day they came back asking for this ability to move the pop-up window.
The future floater popup (with transparency setting) should have a leader object (separate transparency setting) that continues to point to the feature as the popup is moved. The popup should not cover the feature (if the viewing space is large enough).
Thanks big time for commenting, but I could use an illustration of what you’re getting at but what do you mean by transparency setting when popups don’t cover the object unless its by accident? (I will say have had that experience with file in Google Earth where I’ve had to drag them aside because they get to be so big with all the relevant attributes I have for the object I want to show).
I’ve got some illustrations of what I want to get at.
I also did have an ESRI dude help me out and did create a version of an app that worked but I don’t want to share it right now because of the overhead (other non native softwares) that was involved for something that should have been ESRI-centric/oriented.
Hi everyone. Interesting this is still Under Consideration. But, if you are building your site on premise or have WAB Dev Edition you can quickly modify it to do this! Here is an example for a property viewer I'm updating. SAGIS Property Map Viewer I also make them semi-transparent.
Instructions on how to do this are in my reply at the bottom of this thread: Move the popup widow in WAB
This a great example of what ESRI should have implemented years ago.
If there is a way to post illustrations that illustrate what I have in mind in response to the original post I would love to do it.
How is 2019 and this hasn't been implemented yet? It's core functionality that drives users up the wall.
Hi Stuart and Daniel, You can use the code I pasted here https://community.esri.com/thread/161401?commentID=596061#comment-750577 to implement. My next gen property app has it as an example... www.sagis.org
As much as I appreciate your input, Kevin… and I’m sure we’ll be incorporating your code in some of our apps… Stuart is right. This is core functionality which should be available out of the box, not a function we have to customize.
Hilary Campbell oh I agree with you indeed. Hm we'll see. I think it might appear later in 2019 or early 2020.
Please have movable popup box
nearly 7 years has passed since the idea ...
Just as important is that it resizes to fit content width and perhaps height; and also has a little resizing handle in the lower-right corner to let users resize it. Full HTML/CSS including as generated by Arcade would also be great. And I am wondering why this is "Under Consideration". Should it be In Plan, no?
I have another idea I will create separately. Tabs. Users do not notice the next/previous < > buttons in the titlebar. Almost ever. Sure it seems obvious when you see it but I've trained hundreds of users including many professionals like engineers, surveyors and planners. They just don't see it or notice it.
Here is my Idea - vote for it if you like it! https://community.esri.com/ideas/16719-popup-interface-design-tabs-to-page-through-multiple-features
Users do not 'see' the previous/next feature buttons < > in the popup title bar. They understand once they see it. But, they never notice it. I found that a bit surprising but I think perhaps because the controls are so small with no color or texture that could be why they are not discoverable.
Here are my mockups for what I would like to see.
One layer, multiple features - current interface:
How I would like to see it:
Yes, huge buttons. Or let us customize dang popup CSS/HTML. Or I will just intercept it in my custom CSS. Anyway I recommend large buttons and let us decide how to label the buttons because some layer names are kinda long and would be too much to cram in there (like my layer is really named Property Boundaries (Parcels) but I'd change to just Parcel 1, Parcel 2 etc)
Now with multiple layers, let's say Parcels, Streets and Trees, it's currently the same as above. How I'd like to see it:
As to number of features, could leave in the titleBar or put right below the feature selector buttons with an <hr> below it.
Now of course it's possible to customize this and do it yourself. For example in 3.x (used by WAB) - https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/3/jssamples/widget_infowindowchart.html and https://community.esri.com/thread/106181
While the 4.x < > feature buttons are a little more prominent I still think they will not be noticed.
So, while we can add this for a custom template...I don't envision doing this for all my layers in all my viewers. And I always turn on all popups for all visible layers in all my viewers. (Something else that would probably a good thing for Esri to consider as a programmer's option, for now, it requires hacking layerinfos module in WebApp Builder).
It would be good to add this concept in to the default interface for the Next-Generation ArcGIS Online web map "Map Maker".
Other items needed for popups that are well-known:
1. moving popup (easy enough to implement, see https://community.esri.com/thread/161401#comment-750577 etc - but would be good to support by default)
2. popups that auto-resize to fit content, and have a resizer handle in the lower-right corner for users to resize on their own https://community.esri.com/ideas/4590
3. Support full HTML and CSS to allow us to design the popup better and leverage Arcade to generate CSS and HTML on the fly so it will render in the popup. Would allow attributes to affect the HTML and CSS via Arcade, very powerful. Example: based on the type of color a fire hydrant, could change the background color of the popup DOM node. Just a random example to give an idea.
4. show related records directly within the popup
5. show attachments in the popup
Need this! 😃
Great idea.
We need to to be able to resize and/move popups whether they are in AGOL or Enterprise webmaps, webapps etc.
The beta's implementation, whilst only partial, is good but could it please go further?
When you dock the popup and click on a clustered feature, you see a count that it contains multiple features but you have no way to expand or view them. It's just a dead end.
You can't dock the popup as a panel, it hovers over the map, obscuring it.
It loses any connection to the feature you clicked on in the first place.
Could I please, as the map author, allow the popup to be as tall as necessary to fit all the fields? If a layer has 3 fields, then shrink it, if it has 30 then expand it to be top to toe of the map. Scrolling up and down a pop up on a mobile device is not fun.
It needs to simply be moveable and resizable, like a window for anything in any other application. An option leader line that follows it by stretching would be nice, in order to demonstrate connection. But would be nice to decide whether or not to simply hide the leader. Maybe sometimes you wouldn't want it. Like on my site. www.sagis.org/map
It should have the standard resizer in the lower-right like most programs have for the window content, and an optional maximize. The new implementation is helpful and is getting us there but I agree we need with Andrew and with Sean, in that it would be nice to see across the platform web webmaps, apps, etc.
Can you see screenshots in this? Screenshots below.
The popup does not move or resize. The Show Map Legend, Basemap Gallery, and all other widgets are movable and resizable. Movable popups with leader (line or other smart graphic) would be ideal.

Yep, agree with the comments above. The change in beta is an enhancement but would like a richer implementation. Would be nice to be able to move anywhere, resize and toggle on and off leader lines.
Hi John, I don't see any screenshots? I like your symbology in your map viewer by the way!
I created an example for a moving popup in API 4x
https://codepen.io/kevinsagis/full/bGpdQQq
Agreed! This would be super helpful!
Voted up!
Product: ArcGIS Online Webmaps
Idea: We desire standard built-in functionality for the pop-up attribute box to be moved, resized, or docked by the end-user on all popular web browsers. No additional programming or back-end trickery should be required by the map producer to allow this functionality for the end-user.
🙂
Please make this a priority. It's the biggest complaint from my app users.
Can this be implemented? Nearly 10 years since the first post !
Hope both Enterprise ( portal) and ArsGIS on line has this function. The popup box can be moveable. User can drag and move around to where fits. What more, the size of the box can be adjusted in the APP builder. If we have lot of information, we can have a ever bigger bigger pop up box frame.
Thank you,
To be honest, I will be surprised if they do implement this. A non moveable fixed popup is more accessible (WCAG standards) for screen readers via tabbing. I don't know if this is possible in a movable popup.
There was an ESRI App in the past that gave you the option to make the pop up a content panel that docked in the upper right corner of the map instead of a pop up window that obscured the feature you were looking for info on. It was a java scrip API - one of the canned instant apps. I can't find the instant app anymore so I think it went away. But I still have apps I have built with it being used. I'd like to see this option available in Web App Builder so at least you have the option to have the Pop up Panel instead of a pop up Window. Here is the General config tab for an app I'm using where you have the option. So it was available in the past......
I have just started looking into this issue as well. I found this:
How To: Enable drag function on an infoWindow pop-up in Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (esri.com)
https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000015175#:~:text=How%20To%3A%20Enable%20drag%20function%20on%20an%20infoWindow,API%20for%20JavaScript%3A%20Info%20windows%20and%20graphics%20
which appears one needs the Developer Edition to complete, correct?
