attached image behavior between old and new Dashboard systems

Question

A dashboard I made in 2019 has a details widget that shows the results of a collector app service with attachments shown as images embedded in the view. I made a duplicate of that dashboard this month and the new version has different formatting and only shows the attachments as links without previews. Is there a way to get the images to show up as embedded again?

Hi @MichaelShouse,

Did you have any luck with this? One thing that may be worth trying is to create a new feature with the same schema and append your data to that. See if that changes your pop-up/attachment options in Map Viewer. Not ideal...

I had to 'fix' a Dashboard today and the attachment options in the pop-ups menu wasn't available in Map Viewer and I (somehow) resolved this by opening the map in Map Viewer Classic, turning on the 'Show feature attachments as links' option in the pop-up setting, saving the map, then opening it up in Map Viewer again, and the attachment setting were there!

No luck.  This is using an ArcCollector layer and attachment table. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Hi @MichaelShouse , I feel your pain!

If you open your map in Map Viewer (not Classic), select your layer and go to 'Configure pop-ups', turn 'Show as list' off.

Then in your Dashboard, for the Details element, turn 'Attachments' on (rather than 'Media').

A frustrating change that I have had to make on several Dashboards...

Hope this helps!

Jamie.
