The settings on the web map item page are being retired. Please see this help topic which should cover the considerations for setting up search in the Minimalist and other configurable app templates.

OK, cool. So when you were processing the data, it looks like a separate feature layer was created for each vegetation zone. What you would want to do instead is keep all of the vegetation data in the same feature layer, and have an attribute that describes the vegetation zones. You could then use this attribute to drive the symbology with the Type (Unique Symbols) drawing style. So its the difference between having many layers using the location (single symbol) drawing style drawing style to represent the vegetation vs having one layer using the types (unique symbols) style to represent the different areas. We are looking to add support the location (single symbol) style in the next release of the interactive legend, but one of the reasons we didn't include it in the first release is that when a layer is symbolized in this way, the Layer List tool can perform the function of toggling the visibility of each layer on and off. Here are some samples that will hopefully assist in your project. I downloaded the dataset and then added a text field for the veg description, the resulting shapefile can be downloaded here. a sample map that I made with is can be viewed here, and the resulting interactive legend app is here. Let me know if this will work for you and if you have any other questions. Cheers, Ian

Hi Evan, I think i see the issue. Did you start with this dataset? from http://geospatial.ohiodnr.gov/data-metadata/search-by-category THEME: Original Natural Vegetation of Ohio THEME ID: 3135 CATEGORY: Biologic; LandUse/LandCover; ABSTRACT: The Natural Vegetation of Ohio, at the Time of the Earliest Land Surveys, by Robert B. Gordon, Ohio Biological Survey, 1966. These data are polygon features digitized from the original publication map.

Hi Evan, Are you able to share the map so I can take a look? If not, what is the layer type you have? Is the symbology stored in the web map or in the layer? The current release supports a subset of the drawing styles the the web map is capable of achieving. Supported Drawing Styles: Types (Unique symbols) Counts and amounts (Size) - Classify Data Checked Counts and Amounts (Color) - Classify Data Checked Predominant Category Predominant Category and Size (Partially interactive) Types and Size (Partially interactive) For instructions on how to modify the legend drawing style, see this topic: change style

One way to really be creative and personalize your apps is to focus on the content of your map and the text that goes into the map title and descriptions that help to support the message of your map. There are a lot opportunities to be creative in what you show on the map and how you describe it. there is a cool collection of maps for inspiration here .

Chris, I'm glad this isn't 'what are your top ten favorite movies?' because like most film lovers there are probably 30 movies in my top ten. But to answer your question directly, my favorite movies with a map are Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Muppets, for a further explanation, watch this clip as Fozzy explains it. I would also like to know what is everyone favorite book with maps? For a DIY option to make a classic book style map, check out this blog.

I completely agree with my colleagues on the value of continuing education, but I would add that I have always appreciated working with self-starters, people who are so excited about a topic that they can't stop working with it. So I would encourage you to also spend time trying to build maps or applications that solve a specific problem or communicate a specific message to a specific audience. Ideally something you are interested in learning more about so that your passion comes through in your work. Making your own maps is a good way to learn technology in a purposeful way while at the same time allowing you to build a portfolio of your work.

I cannot speak directly to the diploma vs Masters in GIS question. To me it would be a function of your job prospects. If you are currently working in GIS and can learn on the job, that is a great way to go. If its that you are looking for ways to enter the job market, then a Masters can be a good asset to have. But really that will just help open the door to opportunities. Personally, what I look for when interviewing a candidate is passion about communicating information via maps, someone who has demonstrated that passion by creating maps either online or in print. Regarding the future of GIS, this video does a pretty good job of providing a perspective on that from Esri staff. What i'm interested in related future of GIS is to improve the ways in users interact with a map to gain information, essentially the usability and design of mapping interfaces. Regarding the underground 3D mapping, we do currently have the capabilities to do underground mapping in 3D. I'll share an example shortly.

Hi Cara, sorry for the slow response on this. One strategy for this would be to do something like in this example where I have set the year field to be a range between two values. If your goal is to show all years by default you could have the filter show dates between the first and last fiscal year. If your goal is to show one year, you could set the start and end year to be the same value. Either way you should provide some hint text to assist users in exploring the data. In this case, I created the Year filter first and then type (in this case Fujita Scale) second. This text is all defined within the map viewer when you are creating the filter. You can also provide more custom text within the app above the filter settings. in this example built using the filter above, you can see the default text "Filter the layer by specifying values." In this example 2, I've authored some additional helper text add added it via the Filter Text dialog within the app configuration panel. let me know if you have any questions. Ian

Sure no problem. I'll see if we can modify the UI to make it more clear that those are required.

HI Cara, based on your screenshot it looks like the 'apply filter button' isn't active because you still need to populate the 'Prompt' and 'Hint' values. these are used to provide the end user with guidance on how to change the values in the filter here is an example using that filter https://www.arcgis.com/apps/InteractiveFilter/index.html?appid=55699f2e78ca4d1aaacfbd5e8d8cb304

Hi Kimberly, Can you share the application you are working with? what browser are you using? I've tested using the public information template and have been able to sign in to both twitter and instagram and see results on the map.
