How it works

Build a map

Create a web map in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise that will be used in your app.

Select a template

Based on your goal and the components in the map, you are guided to select the best app for your map and data.

Configure

Two configuration experiences are available: 'express' for ease and 'full' for deeper capabilities.

Share your completed web app with specific people or the entire world.

Focused templates to address your audience's needs

Choose a template to provide a focused experience for people using your map. The interface also guides your selection based on your map's components, such as pop-ups, symbolization, and attachments. Explore some popular Instant Apps templates.

Attachment Viewer

Present photos, videos, and PDF files stored as attachments in a map-focused or attachment-focused layout. Enable feature selection and search to allow users to navigate your data. Allow users to download attachments and zoom in and pan around the map.

Interactive Legend

Filter data based on items in your map legend. Enable the help panel to provide guidance on how to use the app. Allow users to capture images of your map with the Screenshot tool. Configure a URL parameter to open your app to a predefined view.

Nearby

Guide viewers to points of interest based on a location search and provide directions. Set a range for the distance slider that will be used to define the search buffer. Enable the Screenshot tool to allow viewers to capture images of the map with search results.

Sidebar

Include a set of tools that allow viewers to interact with and update data. Editing tools enable viewers to update and add features, while filters provide more information about the data. Use bookmarks and map tools to allow viewers to explore.

Portfolio

Showcase different types of content all in one place. Create and reorder various sections that app viewers can navigate to view maps, apps, scenes, layers, and other content. App viewers can navigate through sections and highlight relevant content.

Insets

Display noncontiguous geographies and interact with data at multiple locations in a single app. Pick from a list of predefined geographic layouts or customize the inset locations with the option to use bookmarks from the map. Apply theming by picking an inset style and adding title headers.

Public Notification

Create a list of features using a map that can be exported as a CSV or PDF file. Search for a single location or draw an area of interest using sketch tools to define a set of features. Use the geometry of an existing feature or apply a search buffer to expand the resulting features used to create the list.

Interactively measure distance, area, and elevation profiles; switch between 2D and 3D; compare layers with swipe and transparency tools; and more. Share the maps you create by exporting a PDF file or screenshot.
