New Updates to the Interactive Legend Instant App
The Interactive Legend Instant App provides a quick and easy way to visualize and filter map content through a selectable legend. When a portion of the legend is selected, the map updates to show only the data corresponding to that selection. This allows easy data exploration in a more granular and focused way, providing deeper insights into the patterns and trends present. This Instant App has been a popular app for several years. However, in the February 2023 update to ArcGIS Online, it received some new enhancements, adding an additional layout option and a new refreshed look.
A second layout option has been added to the app. The side panel layout option docks the legend on either side of the map. This helps provide more room when a legend contains a large amount of content. In addition, this layout option does not overlap with the map and provides a larger area to view and interact with the legend.
To update your Interactive Legend app, navigate to the Interactive Legend section and select Side panel. Directly below the Side panel selection is the location to choose the side of the app it will appear on.
Interactive Legend has a new look with some new functionality as well. The button style and the ability to collapse individual sections of the legend have been updated to make it easier to interact with the app. There are no settings required to be enabled to use this functionality.
