You can create a web app with a map using a variety of app builders. You can choose an app template with minimal to no configuration required, use one of the available builders to customize an app before publishing, or use ArcGIS Enterprise Sites to create a website. Each of these options offers various functionality, such as query and edit tools, social media feeds, side-by-side map viewers, and layouts and color schemes.
Note:
Your organization may have specified brand colors or a logo to apply to apps created by members of your organization. When you create an app that supports these Shared theme settings, the specified settings will be applied instead of the default theme of the app.
When a published web app is based on a map, any changes made to the map, including its extent, layers, description, and so on, are reflected in the web app. If a map that was available to everyone in the organization is made private (or deleted), the map no longer appears in the app.
To create a web app from a map, use one of the following methods:
- On the Content page, click Create app.
- On the web map item page, click Create app.
- In
Map Viewer, open the web map and click
the Create app button
on the Contents (dark) toolbar.
Creating a web app from a map using ArcGIS Dashboards, ArcGIS Experience Builder, ArcGIS Instant Apps, and ArcGIS StoryMaps are available through each of these methods. Using ArcGIS Enterprise Sites to create a web app from a map is only available through the Content page.
Create an app from the Content page
Complete the following steps to create an app from the Content page:
- If necessary, verify that you are signed in with the privileges to create content, and have access to the app builder you are using.
- At the top of the site, click Content and click the My content tab.
- Click Create app and choose an app builder.
You are taken directly to the app builder you selected and can begin creating your app:
Once you save or publish your app, it will be added as an unshared item in My content. To make your app accessible to others, share it.
