Time Animation in Map Viewer

Is the time animation tool available in Map Viewer? If so, how do I activate it? If not, when will it be available? It is available in Map Viewer Classic . Thanks.

Yes, it is available. First you need to make sure that you have time enabled layers in your map, after that you can make the map time aware.

Hi Andreas,

It doesn't work. When I try to change the date and time settings, and save the map, the time slider date and time doesn't change on the widget. See enclosed screen shot. I set the start and end points for the time slider options to 03/28/2023 7:00:00 AM and 03/30/2023 10:00:00 AM, respectively but the time slider widget at the bottom of the map still shows the start date and time of 2/6/2023 7:00:00 PM and 2/6/2023 8:00:00 PM, respectively even after saving. How do I correct the time slider widget to reflect the proper day and time? Thanks.

Could it be that there is no data in the time interval you are trying to select?
