Show attachments in ArcGIS Online pop-up window

The ability to link attachments (images, docs, etc.) to features in ArcGIS Online is great functionality, but it would be nice if, instead of having attachments open in a new window, they would open inside the pop-up window itself. The new window containing the attachment tends to cover up the map.

Just came here to post the same idea.
It seems counter-productive for many things including story maps.

It would be great to be able to see a picture from the attachment that was GPS'd in Collector and be able to see the image. After all, it's worth 1,000 words. That's a lot of attributes!

Yes! We currently have to download the photos unattaching them from their features, store them elsewhere web-accessible, and then create a new field with the URLs to view them directly in popup. Much debate about where/how to store them. Writing a script to get the URLs directly from attach table into a new field takes a lot of finagling, too. We would love to be able to view them in the popup directly from the attach table which would maintain data integrity.

This is a much needed functionality for arcgis online maps. Would love to see it available for all maps and apps across online platform.
Currently, using web server to store the photos externaly. But, maintinance of those photos detached from features is a big process.

Yes, please provide ability to display attached images inline as an image instead of just a link. In case of multiple images I'm okay with just first one showing inline.

Definitely needs implementation sooner rather than later.

Asset inventory on large scales is much, much less valuable without this functionality. Doubling the number of clicks someone has to make in order to view a traffic light is a huge obstacle to adoption of Web GIS. Please take this idea!

Dear Kelly,

I can add the text field just fine, but have no idea about how to run the GP tool I unzipped. Do I run it in AGO or Desktop?

Hi Joanne!

Run the toolbox that comes in the download from Desktop.

I ran the tool on the service that has attachments in desktop. It keeps giving me an error on the line "Has Attachments == true"

any idea?

Rupali,

When I had the same error it was because I typed in the field name incorrectly for where the URL was going. Make sure you don't use the alias but the actual name of the field.

Awesome. It works great. This is going to save me a lot of time!

Hi Rupali,

What type of service are you using, ArcGIS Server or ArcGIS Online? If you are using ArcGIS Server service, are you using web tier authentication for your security?

hi Jake,

I am using a arcgis online hosted feature service.
