It would be very helpful to have general settings for display of popups, rather than just whether a popup is displayed in a particular slide. The settings would be:
1. Whether popups should automatically be docked on first presentation. This would make for a consistent presentation of popup content and map content across throughout the range of features to be visited in an exhibit configuration.
2. Where to position the docked popup when opened: either upper right (as happens on the Exhibit app now), or upper left (as happens in web maps). Upper left what works best for my use of bookmarks in web maps that drive initial creation of slides in an Exhibit config.
These two settings, together, also make it way more efficient--and fast--to create an initial Exhibit configuration. As it is now, I create bookmarks in the web map, where the docked popup is positioned in the upper left of the map. Then I create an Exhibit config and load the bookmarks as slides. That is great. But the docked popups in the Exhibit app appear in the upper RIGHT. So then I need to repeat the tedious process of setting the map extents for each slide all over again. If I could set docked popups to appear in the same place in Exhibit slided relative to the map as the web map, that duplicative effort would be avoided. These settings would have the secondary config advantage of making it more tractable to do more significant changes to the web map (additional layers, etc.) that require replacing the web map in the Exhibit config, and the resulting change in the Item ID and URL for the Exhibit config.
Thanks for considering. Mike Koutnik
