insert slider feature into cascade style

MichellePerdue — Mon, 14 May 2018 19:57:30 GMT

Is there a way to insert features from other styles into a style? I'm specifically looking to create a cascade-style SM but insert one slide with the wipe feature (a before-after comparison). Is that possible? If so, how?

Yes- first, create a new web app template that uses the swipe tool. Make that public and get the link for it. Inside your Cascade Story Map, add an immersive slide and then use the option to specify a URL. Paste the URL that you copied for the swipe tool web map app. If you'd like you can append "&embed" at the end of the swipe app URL to give a more seamless integration into your Cascade story map.

Yes, you can embed story maps inside story maps. See: https://community.esri.com/community/gis/web-gis/storymaps/blog/2016/05/21/arcgis-blog-embedding-a-story-map-within-a-story-map

A useful alternative to embedding a Swipe app in a Cascade story is to add an immersive section in your Cascade and use one of the transition effects to provide a swipe-style transition between two different views in the section.

John Nelson‌ on our team has created some useful 'How to Cascade' guides and one of them covers transitions. You can find them all here: https://community.esri.com/community/gis/web-gis/storymaps/blog/2016/11/29/arcgis-blog-how-to-cascade but in particular see this one: How to Cascade: Transitions.

For example in this Cascade, click the Pinecrest Creek bookmark in the header after proceeding beyond the cover page, and then scroll down to the Historical development immersive section to see a nice use of the vertical transition between views containing images to present a swipe type before and after:

That same approach is also used in this example with web maps:
