Hide Content Side Panel for Experience Builder Apps

N_Funi — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 21:10:40 GMT

I have a page on my HUB site with several map viewers created in Experience Builder displayed on a gallery card. I’m trying figure out how to hide the content side panel when the viewers are opened from the gallery.

None of the settings I’ve tried seem to apply to Experience Builder-

I’ve tried Settings-> Content Side Panel->selected “Apps” to be Collapsed

I’ve also tried Settings-> Interactions -> Embedded Apps “Off”

(This setting works when I preview the draft. The viewers built in Experience Builder open in new windows as expected but when I publish the draft, the viewers revert back to being embedded)

Can you provide the link to your site so we can see what you mean? I'm having a hard time understanding your issue.

Hello, thank you for taking a look- the issue is when you click on any of the data viewers (all experience builder apps) on this page:

https://arizona-sun-cloud-agic.hub.arcgis.com/pages/viewers

They open with the content side panel expanded. I would like to keep the contact side panel collapsed when they open.

I have applied these settings:

Content Side Panel-> Apps are Collapsed

Interactions -> Embedded Apps are Off (in preview mode this opens the apps in a new page, when published, apps remain embedded)

I see what you are saying. I don't like that feature of Hub either, it's terrible. The only way I could get around this was to use custom html to create the gallery cards so that I could link users directly to my application without being linked to the application within the hub site, if that makes sense. Here is a link to my page where I used the custom HTML:

Map Apps | Valley County GIS Portal (arcgis.com)

If that is something you are interested in doing, then below is the html. I don't think the site will track hits on apps this way if you are trying to stream a gallery of your most popular apps is the only downside.
