Search

• When adding layers to your map, you can search for layers from your favorites.
• You can now configure feature search on layers in your map. This allows people to locate features on your map using the search box at the top of the map viewer. For example, you could enable search on your parcel layer so users could find specific parcels. Map users select the parcel layer in the search box and enter the parcel ID they want to find, and the map zooms to the parcel and shows a pop-up with attribute information.
• If your portal uses the World Geocoding Service or if the portal administrator has configured the portal to use a geocode service that is enabled for suggestions, the geocoder in the map viewer suggests matches as you type an address or place. If you do not use one of the geocoder's suggested locations when you search and find that the location on the map isn't what you wanted, click the Not what you wanted? link in the window and choose a different location from the list.

Layers

• Authors can make a copy of a layer in their map; configure different properties on the copied layer, such as pop-ups and symbols; and save the layer as a new item. You can also save layers you import to your map, such as CSV and map notes. Saved layers become referenced in the map, and changes made from the map are saved in the item if you are the item owner.
• There is no longer a 1,000-record limit when adding GeoRSS layers or GPX, CSV, or text files containing latitude and longitude values to the map viewer.
• You can set a refresh interval on CSV layers from the web that contain latitude and longitude fields. Enabling a refresh interval keeps your maps in sync with the latest data while the map is open. For example, you could set a refresh interval of five minutes on a live earthquake layer and the earthquake data would update every five minutes while the map was open.
• The Esri basemap system has been further optimized for even higher performance and scalability. The upgrade also includes support for WMTS access to the maps as well as support for tile resampling, in which most Map data not yet available tiles have been replaced with resampled map tiles from the most detailed level available.
• You can drag layers in the Contents pane to change their order.

Map layout

• Members can set the map units they see for the scale bar, measure tool, and directions by editing their profile page.
• Time-enabled layers include an option to disable the time animation so the time slider does not appear on the map.
• More options are available to change symbols. You can now set rotation angle on point symbols by an angle in a field allowing the symbol to reflect a direction, for example, the direction the wind is blowing or a vehicle is traveling. New symbols have been added that are appropriate for indicating a direction or heading. To help show the relative size of your data, normalize your data based on percent of total or by a field such as area. You can vary the width of lines to show, for example, the volume of traffic along highways, and use size to display a graduated point symbol over a polygon to show, for example, population values. You can also now change single symbols in single-layer GeoRSS layers.
• Three new collections of symbols and map notes templates are available for showing the location of natural disasters, infrastructure, and infrastructure damage.
• Authors can add text symbols to their map when using map notes layers with the Map Notes, Park Planning, or Recreation template.
• You can now create labels for features in a layer. To display labels for a layer, select one or more attributes you want to show, for example, the name or type of feature. The map viewer automatically places labels on the map on or near the features they describe. You can control the text size, color, and style to help differentiate labels from different layers.
• You can now configure pop-ups to show related data in your map layers. Related data is shown in a table at the bottom of the map. Create data relationships in ArcGIS for Desktop and publish the data to your portal or ArcGIS for Server (version 10.1 or later is required).

Directions

• Walking directions are now available in the map viewer if you configure your portal to use the ArcGIS Online World route service.
• You can have up to 20 destinations in the directions you create in the map viewer.
• A new Route All Features option on the layer menu is available for point layers. This option allows you to add the points as the origin and destination for directions. If the layer includes a sequence field, the points are ordered based on this field.

General map viewer

• The map viewer includes guided tours to help you learn how to make and style a map. The tours appear in the About panel when signed in to the portal with an account that has privileges to create items. For the best experience, follow each step of the tour.
• A simplified map viewer opens if you are not signed in to the portal. This makes it easier to explore maps for casual, anonymous users. The simplified viewer includes such functionality as the ability to show tables, edit features, change symbols, share, and view data through time.
• You can add layers or configure pop-ups in the map viewer even when you are not signed in to the portal by clicking Modify Map. However, you cannot save the map if you are not signed in to the portal. The Modify Map option is not present if the author of the map you opened has enabled save as protection on the map.
• World Geocoding Service has been enhanced for ten countries, including new mile markers for Puerto Rico and address points in Singapore, India, and Thailand.

New templates

• Find, Edit, and Filter is a new configurable app template that allows you to search for features, edit, set attribute values, and filter content.
• Summary Viewer is a new configurable app template that summarizes the numeric attributes of features in a specified operational layer within the visible map area. The summaries can be configured to show the sum, average, minimum, and maximum of specified field values.
• Panels is a new configurable application template that allows you to display an ArcGIS web map with a legend, description, and basic map tools. Functionality available in the retired templates One Pane, Two Panel, and Header & Footer is available in Panels.
• Public Information is a new, fully configurable mapping app that allows you to incorporate content from social media sites. Public Information provides functionality previously available in the retired Social Media template, but is more configurable and has a different look.
• Story Map Journal is a configurable story map app template that allows you to present a map-based narrative organized into a set of journal entries. It is designed for creating compelling multimedia stories that combine text, graphics, and maps, especially where you have a lot of text and detail you want to convey. You can specify what the maps will show and how they will behave as people read through your journal. Two different layout options are provided. The app includes an interactive builder for helping you configure your own story.
• Local Perspective is a new configurable app template for highlighting features from a map based on a user-selected location or address. In addition to your data, you can include demographics, lifestyle, and live weather information, and enable driving directions.
• GeoForm is a configurable template for form-based data editing of a feature service. It allows you to enter attribute edits through a form instead of a pop-up in the map.
• Impact Summary is a map application that highlights an area and shows a summary of data related to its location. You can configure the map to present relevant integer data at the bottom of the map, allowing you to answer new questions about locations that you cannot answer with maps alone.
• Information Lookup is a configurable app template that can be used to provide the general public, internal staff, and other interested parties with information about a location. Optionally, the location entered can be stored in a point layer.

Improved and renamed templates

• Parcel Viewer has been renamed to Finder to reflect that it is useful for more than just parcel searches. In addition, the configuration experience has been improved in the Finder template.
• Elevation Profile is a new version of the Elevations Profile template. Elevation Profile can be used to display the elevation profile for a selected feature or a measured line along a web map. To take advantage of the new functionality in Elevation Profile, re-create your application with the Elevation Profile template.
• A new version of the Legend template is available. The new Legend template has more configuration options than the old template, such as multiple color schemes, a configurable header and footer, control over the legend and description location, and the ability to enable location searches. To take advantage of functionality in the new Legend template, re-create your application with this new template.
• The Basic Viewer, Simple Map Viewer, and Filter templates have been redesigned for a modern user experience, and now support feature search.
• Due to the popularity of the original Basic Viewer, the original version has been renamed to Classic Viewer and is still available in the default map viewer template gallery.
