I made a new page and added the Dashboard URL in an iFrame layout. It's in the menu under More pulldown. ... View more

Oh! I didn't realize I was supposed to make it a page. I thought it was just for administrator information. I've created a new page, but don't see how to add it. Can you help me? ... View more

Owen, this is the link I found on our accessibility rules site: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1  When our director talks about the scrolling design, is he referencing the reflow from 1.4.10? Or the reference to navigation in 2.4? Why would he need to "audit" the maps? So many new rules...thank you for your help, Owen! Lori ... View more

Hello! I used Storymaps for a webinar presentation yesterday, but have run into an accessibility problem that I have to resolve before I can share it. Although it passed our WAVE (web accessibility evaluation tool), our digital communications manager told me: "One of the issues I’m seeing is that the format is built around a scrolling design that changes the page view frequently depending on where the user is on the page. I’ll have to spend some time really digging into it to make sure those changes are announced correctly." He also said that he's going to have to "audit" the embedded maps. Can your team help me overcome these hurdles? I really want to ditch powerpoint and move exclusively to Storymaps. Here's my storymap: Citizen Science for Everyone  Cheers! Lori ... View more

That's so weird! It just doesn't load at all, no matter how long I stay on a page or refresh it. Thanks for letting me know -- I'll keep searching for the gremlin in my computer. I appreciate your help! Lori ... View more

Hmmmm... the story map should be public. Try this short URL: ArcGIS StoryMaps  I'm using the Guided Tour template. See the attached image...that grey box in left corner should be a map. I stumbled across the public policy problem while researching options for a faculty member...but I'm not as concerned about that. The story map problem popped in the middle of designing this story map. Lori ... View more

Where do you work and what is your role?  I am the sustainability coordinator at Mountain View College in Dallas, Texas. I am also a PhD student in Urban Planning & Public Policy at the University of Texas at Arlington. What GIS success have you had this year and what product did you use? Our college hosts an Early College High School on our campus; in January 2019 I obtained an ESRI K–12 license and launched a GIS Project where students are learning ArcGIS Online by mapping how climate change is affecting our campus and community. They are also using Survey 123 to do litter surveys and are working on simple geolocation storymaps. What is your expertise (GIS related or not), and how can that help the community? Personally, I'm still an ArcGIS novice but am determined to become proficient; I want to introduce GIS in the classroom whenever possible and utilize it in my urban planning research. I found an article on crowdsourcing a storymap the other day and definitely want to use that for a city-wide high school project. We'll also be starting on our campus tree inventory in September. So many cool tools, so little time. My favorite place can be found here. 41.099777, -80.674909 ... View more

I have run into this issue with every Storymap I've created, but I discovered a work-around. Open the photo in a simple photo editor – I use Preview on my Mac. Rotate the photo 90 degrees and save. Rotate it back and save again. Works like a charm. ... View more

The photos I'm importing into my first Story Map are turning 90º counter clockwise. Workaround: On my Mac, I opened each image in Preview, rotated the photo 90º & saved it. Then rotated it back and saved again. Now it appears correctly in my Story Map. 😉 ... View more
