Hi Brian, I did a quick web search and didn't find any information on ways to embed HTML/JS or other dynamic content inside a PDF, so I don't think this is possible. If you know of a way to do this, please post details here and I can investigate further. Owen

Hi Jared, You can upload map packages to ArcGIS Online like Sephe pointed out, but that just stores the map package file itself on the web so that that others can download the map package itself and use it in Desktop. It sounds like you want to add the image in your map document to a web map and share it as part of a story map. In this case, you should publish the map document with your TIFF from ArcMap as a hosted tile service. This help topic has more information on how to complete this process. You can either build your tiles using ArcMap on your desktop or let ArcGIS Online do it for you. If you let ArcGIS Online build the tiles you may consume credits. The help topic I referenced has information on both workflows. Once you have a tile service in ArcGIS Online you can add it to a web map and share that in the swipe story map app. Hope this help! Owen (I'm going to move this thread to the ArcGIS Online space since the question itself relates to hosted services rather than story maps.)

Hi Kate, (I edited this response since I realized the process is even easier than what I originally posted.) It's not a crazy question at all! In fact, this is a great technique to use, especially when building a map journal or series. You can embed a story map (or any ArcGIS Online template app) in another story map. When you are adding a section or tab to your story map, choose "Web page" as your content type, then just paste in the URL of your other story map in the Webpage URL box. The click Configure and choose "Stretch" so your story map will fill the entire main stage. Here's a tip that you may want to use when embedding a story map: if you add "?&embed" to the end of your app URL (or just "&embed" if there is already a ? and other parameters in the URL) this will strip off the title and social media sharing icons from the embedded app. Since your main app already has these you probably don't need to duplicate them in one of your journal sections or series tabs. This tip works with most of the story map apps like swipe/spyglass, map tour, basic, etc. For example, click these two links to see the difference between standard and embedded mode in this Swipe story map. http://story.maps.arcgis.com/apps/StorytellingSwipe/index.html?appid=97ae55e015774b7ea89fd0a52ca551c2 http://story.maps.arcgis.com/apps/StorytellingSwipe/index.html?appid=97ae55e015774b7ea89fd0a52ca551c2&embed To see an example of a story map within a story map check out this Map Series where you'll see a Map Journal in the "Point-of-Sale strategies" tab. Hope this helps! Owen

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).

‎03-30-2015

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?
