Hello,
How to make the phone number 'touchable' on ArcGIS Online? (i.e. touch a number and have it come up ready to dial from a phone)? I've tried both having the field as text or integer format. But none of them work.
Thank you,
Emily

Hi Emily, you can do this in the popup configuration by setting your phone field to be a hyperlink with the protocol tel: to look like this: tel:{Phone Number Field Name}.
To do this, go to Configure Pop-up -> Set the Display to 'A custom attribute display' -> Configure. In the Custom Attribute Display dialog, highlight the text (or field name) you want and select the hyperlink option. Below is a screenshot of an example configuration. Note - you'll need to build the rest of the popup for any other attributes you want to show (as I did with city, state, for example).
Finished popup looks like this. Clicking on the phone number hyperlink will initiate a call (the actual behavior may be subject to the specific browser, enterprise / browser security settings, device, etc. But the tel: protocol is standard so should work in most cases).

Yes, it works very well. Thanks, Chris!
You can also take that same code, tel: {Phone} and dump it into the "Link" field of an added image of your pop-up. It can be a lot of fun depending on the image you choose for your link:)
