Please see Introducing Atlas (Beta) blog post for information updated for June 2023 release of ArcGIS Online
Use Atlas (Beta), a new Instant Apps template, to allow users to learn about and interact with maps and layers that are shared to a group. The Atlas app template empowers organizations to highlight a collection of curated maps and layers based on a point of interest, a geographic location, or a specific event. Users can easily discover and explore the content, as well as share the maps they create. Tools to help users explore the map in Atlas include searching locations, switching between 2D and 3D views, measuring distance and area, and zooming to spatial bookmarks.
Features
Atlas includes options to open existing maps and add feature layers in the map view. Users can also change the underlying basemap.
Layers that get added to the map view are listed in the Map layers panel where users can adjust layer transparency or turn on swipe for one layer to view what's underneath the layer or compare it to other layers. The Map layers panel includes options to view data as a table, when available, view the layer’s item description, and remove the layer from the map view.
Users can switch to 3D view to see layers added to the map view overlaid on a 3D surface. Daylight and weather visualization tools are automatically included when in 3D view.
Atlas allows users to mark locations on the map with the option to add a point, line, or polygon sketch using a limited set of color and symbol options in 2D view. Users can also measure distances and areas both in 2D and 3D views.
Users can generate a URL to share what they see in the map view using the Share option. This opens a window with the option to add a title for the map.
