Hyperlink attachments in ArcGIS Online

Hello.

 

I'm looking to attach pictures to certain points within a feature class in ArcGIS Online. I'm aware that you can 'configure pop-ups' but in my experience, it added the picture for the entire feature class when I just wanted the certain point to be associated with a certain picture.

I then tried to hyperlink my picture in the attribute field, which did work, but I'm looking to attach 2-3 pictures per point, and I only see one hyperlink slot. I have 'enabled attachments' in ArcGIS Pro, but when I save the web map, the attachments don't get translated to ArcGIS Online. 

Does anyone have a work around to this or can offer some advice that I'm missing? Thank you all so much!

Hello @NickCooper1 

If you are looking to add an image from attachments:

Here you can see I have added 2 attachments to my record.

Here, I have added an attachment viewer using +Add Content in the pop-up.

This way shows multiple images at a time in the pop-up.

You can add text and other content types to the pop-up along with your attachments.

You should see the attachments in the table when you look at the data view of your layer.

If you are looking to add a hosted image from a URL:

You would add a field {Link1} in your table and add links to each record as text "https://yoursite.com/your-image123"

You can add as many fields as you have images. So if you want 3 images per record, add 3 fields {Link1} {Link2} {Link3}

Then add an image content type to the pop-up using +Add Content.

In the URL field click the {} and add your field.

Then add another image content block for Link 2 and another for Link 3.

This way shows only one image at a time in the pop-up.

Add Attachments (Data Management Tools)

Configure and manage attachments on hosted feature layers

Let me know if this is the workflow you are looking for.

I have another aspect in this - videos. So what if attachment is video instead of image. It actually works exactly same way. We typically put videos in Azure Blob storage but challenge comes what video codecs are suitable for browser popups etc.

So my case is sewer CCTV inspections and fairly big videos coming out from those. What are the optimal ways to do that thing so that video can easily be inspected and seen directly in AGOL pop up windows in browser?
