URL Share Link not working

BrianLee1 — Thu, 22 May 2014 18:18:30 GMT

Hello again,

I have another issue where the link for sharing, both the URL under my content, and the bit link (http://bit.ly/1k8ezgd), are not being shared with others whom I am directing to the story map.

I have made the map public in both my application and in the builder mode.

My friends are being directed to Log-in to ArcGIS Online, which is quite frustrating.

The URL link is: http://www.arcgis.com/apps/MapTour/index.html?appid=278015d9608e489e8a6586b672abaefd&webmap=5adf7128dac74ce798e8218b34169196

I am not sure why this is happening and was unable to find documentation about this problem.

Thanks for any help everyone!

The application is reporting that this item isn't shared. This is the item that contains your Map Tour data (point name/description/geometry).

So it looks like when you have shared your Tour through the builder that item hasn't been shared. I would guess that you created that item through ArcGIS Online Map Viewer with the Save Layer functionality? Sorry for inconvenience, I will make sure to manage that use case in next update.

Anyway just share that item and you should be good!
