Hi Dunny, To unshare your story map go to arcgis.com, sign in, and click on My Content at the top. There you will find your story map web application item and change its sharing settings. If there is one or more web maps in your story map you can find those items and adjust their sharing settings as well, if needed. There are also links in the Share panel in several story map apps that will link you right to the app and/or web map item pages. Expand the question about keeping your app private. See screenshot examples below... Owen

Hi Stacey -- glad you figured out your issue! Regarding the legend, if the other method you found doesn't work for you, I have used the tactic of simply adding information to my app subtitle to explain the pin colors. See this example.

Hi Stacey, Sorry you are having trouble with the map tour. Here's some help to get you started. If you choose the option to upload your photos to ArcGIS Online you'll then be prompted to enter a name for the feature service that the map tour builder will create for you... A few seconds after you click Create the service you will see the Map Tour Builder. Just click the Add button at the bottom of the builder to add a new tour point... ...and you'll be prompted to browse to your photo (or you can simply drag it into the Media panel). Once you finish adding the Information and Location for the first tour point on the other two tabs you can click Add tour point and the photo will be uploaded to the feature service as an attachment. Repeat as needed to add all your tour points. I hope this is helpful!

Hi Marko - I've moved this question to ArcGIS Online Templates to better assist you (the Basic Viewer isn't one of the Story Map apps).

Hi Julie -- thanks for your interest in the crowdsourcing app. Unfortunately, it's not currently available as a template, but see this recent thread for more information.

Hi Michael, In that case you might want to look at the Web AppBuilder. It is available as a separate tab when you share your map as a web application and provides a wizard-driven app design experience. Each story map app is designed for a very specific, focused user experience whereas WAB lets you create more generic apps with the standard tools GIS users are familiar with. For example it has a layer list widget that supports the functionality I believe you are looking for (see screenshot below). If you want to publish an app for a more professional audience that lets them explore your data, make their own decisions about which layers are visible, and perhaps support other typical GIS functions (like viewing the attribute table) WAB lets you do that without any coding. The WAB also creates web apps that provide a good user experience in a desktop/laptop browser as well as on tablets and phones.

Hi Doug -- unfortunately, there's currently no way around this. See this blog post for information that will help you understand why this is the case: All About ArcGIS Online Layers.

‎02-12-2015

Michael, There are two ArcGIS Online templates that enable the user to toggle layers - the Basic Viewer and Classic Viewer. If you feel that a subset of your audience still needs that feature you can publish a map of all relevant layers in one of those templates in addition to a pre-authored experience using the story map templates in the ways Rupert described. The viewer app can satisfy the needs of the more advanced users who want to manipulate the map while the simpler, directed experience provided by the story map template can be enjoyed by the rest.

Great post, Eric! I just linked to this from the AGO Admin Wiki here‌ in the Governance and Standards section.

I'm a member of about 70 ArcGIS Online groups, which presents several usabilitiy issues with ArcGIS.com and other apps. Whenever I need to share an item to a group this requires scrolling through my long list of groups in a tiny window with small fonts to find the group I want. Explorer for iOS needs to ping all my groups to get thumbnails and the number of web maps, which can take a while on Wifi and longer on a cell connection. Many groups I don't actively use anymore, but would like to keep for archiving purposes. It would be helpful to have some way to hide or archive a group so that it still is accessible (perhaps from a special view of My Groups), but no longer appears in my default list that is used for sharing and in other apps like Explorer. Also, it would be helpful to implement a filter box on all sharing dialogs (ArcGIS.com, Esri Maps for Office, ArcMap service publishing wizard, etc.) where the list of groups appears so I could quickly find the group I want.

Hi Marc, A blank search returns a (paged) list of all available datasets -- would that help? The search results view includes links to details and download options similar to the view you currently have on your website. To direct visitors to this view you could put a hyperlink to this search results page (e.g., http://d3.d3.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets?) labeled something like "View all available datasets" in one of the text widgets on your Open Data site home page.

Gaëtan/Sean, The dev team has tabular dataset support planned for the next major release in July and is interested in hearing about how you'd like Open Data to support this type of dataset. It would be great if you could please post some comments here about how you'd like to add and work with tabular data -- direct upload of a CSV, referencing a CSV by URL that is already on a web server, sharing directly from Esri Maps for Office, etc.? Which are your most important workflows that you'd like to see supported?

‎04-25-2014

Something to be aware of... Editing the name (or any other aspect) of an open data group disables its open data designation. You need to go back in an re-enable open data on the group if it is modified.

In March 2013, the capability to add other file types to ArcGIS Online was added. This included files like PDFs, Word/Excel docs, and images. When you find these files in searches or view them on a Group page, these new file types appear under the "Maps > All Maps" filter option. They should not appear when looking for maps, and there should be new filter categories added. Something like: Files > Documents and Presentations (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) Files > Images (JPG, PNG, etc.) So the higher level filter categories could be: All Results Maps Application Tools Files

Wanted to expand on the discussion of transfer of group ownership and group membership as these are not trivial. The admin would also have to manually transfer ownership of all users' groups to their new enterprise accounts during a migration to enterprise logins. Group membership would also have to be re-created for each new enterprise user account. The admin would have to add the new enterprise account to all the groups the original account was a member of. In the case of both ownership and membership, the admin would need to somehow (manually or through a custom script/tool using the Portal API) determine all the groups the old AGO account owned or was a member of.
