Create an icon in my Samsung tablet to store the URL link to my web map

Question

I have created a web map using web appbuilder. I want to create an icon on my tablet's display screen and associate the URL link to this icon. I would like the user to just click on the icon to launch the web map. How do I do this? Thanks for any help.

Dionisio,

You would need to create a shortcut from a bookmark that you have set to the WAB apps website. Here is a link that shows how to add the shortcut on a Samsung Tablet:

Each phone/tablet browser has it's own "Add to Home Screen" button/process: How to Add Websites to the Home Screen on Any Smartphone or Tablet
