Open Data Search for Applications

BradySmith — Wed, 05 Aug 2015 00:10:41 GMT

I am trying to set up our open data site and cannot figure out how to get an application to show in a search. From the documentation it appears it should display and launch from the search window since it is using the url, or am I mistaken?

This excerpt below is from the help documentation .

The following data types are supported in ArcGIS Open Data but do not have their own dataset page. Users can search for these items within a site and access them directly from the search results page. These items will not appear on opendata.arcgis.com:

Web maps—The web map will open in an ArcGIS Online Map Viewer in a new tab
URLs—The registered URL will open in a new tab
Documents—Word documents will download in the browser
PDFs—The PDF will open in a new tab

Hi Brady,

We don't support web applications directly at this time - that is, ArcGIS Online items that are web applications will not appear in the search. However, if you copy the web application link and create a new ArcGIS Online item that is a document link, it will appear in the search results and the user will be directed from there. It's a workaround for now until we support web apps.

In Online:

Add item --> from the web --> type: document.

Hope that helps,

Courtney

That worked. Thanks for the work around.
