Add and manage content

Adding, managing, and sharing content are important functions of sites. Visitors can search and view content that has been added to a catalog. Editors can configure a content catalog using filters and collections to create custom groupings.

After a catalog is configured, you can create items and add them directly to the catalog. You can also add existing ArcGIS Enterprise items, and upload content or create applications in Enterprise.

To configure or add content to a catalog, you must be an Enterprise administrator, the content owner, or a member of a shared update group with edit access to the content.

Configure a site catalog

Site editors can configure one filter and rename, reorder, show, or hide collections to build a content catalog.

Note:

Catalogs require one top-level filter.

To configure a site catalog, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to ArcGIS Enterprise Sites.
2. In your user workspace, select the Content pane.

   If needed, select your user profile and select View workspace to open your user workspace.

3. Select the Manage button next to the site to open the site workspace.
4. Select Catalog and select the Content pane to configure a catalog of content. Select the Configure catalog button.

   To manage pages as part of a catalog, refer to Customize a site.

   • Include specific content by adding a filter (one is required):
     1. Under Catalog configuration, select Set filters to expand this section, if needed.
     2. Choose Select groups, select groups of content to include in the catalog, and select Add.
     3. Select Save changes.
   • To further customize the catalog, under Configure collections, you can rename, reorder, show, or hide the collections.
   • After a catalog is configured, you can create content and add it directly to the catalog using the Add content button within the catalog. You can create a site or page and add it to the catalog.
5. To delete a configured catalog, navigate to the catalog in the workspace and select the More actions button . Select Delete and select the Delete button.

   You can remove an item or event from the catalog, by removing it from it's group in the group workspace (in the Content pane).

Add existing content

You can add content from Enterprise to the content catalog of a site (for which you have edit permissions). This includes Enterprise content created by you or members of your organization and the public. After a catalog is configured, add content from within the site workspace.

You must register services with Enterprise to add them to a site's content catalog.

Note:

Consider verifying with the content owner before sharing. You can change sharing permissions if you are the content owner, if the content is shared with one of your shared update groups, or if you have administrative privileges. Any private content (for example, that is shared only with you, one of your shared update groups, or your organization) added to a catalog, is not visible to people with whom the content is not shared.

To add existing Enterprise content to a catalog, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to ArcGIS Enterprise Sites.
2. In your user workspace, select the Content pane.

   If needed, select your user profile and select View workspace to open your user workspace.

3. Select the Manage button next to the site to open the workspace.
4. Select Catalog and select the Content pane to add existing content to the catalog.
5. Select the Add content and choose Select existing content.
6. Select items and select Next. Select a group to contain the items; groups available are those that this catalog is configured to include. Select Add content.

Upload content or create an application

You can add files as items or create applications (apps) in Enterprise to be included in the content catalog of a site, initiative, or project (if you have edit permissions). After a catalog is configured, add items from within the site workspace. Access a list of supported file types.

To add files as items or create apps in Enterprise outside of a configured catalog, from the global navigation header, select the Create button and choose Other content.

To upload files or create apps in Enterprise, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to ArcGIS Enterprise Sites.
2. In your user workspace, select the Content pane.

   If needed, select your user profile and select View workspace to open your user workspace.

3. Select the Manage button next to the site to open the workspace.
4. Select Catalog and select the Content pane to add items to the content catalog.
5. Select the Add content button and choose Other content.
6. Follow the steps to Add files as items or to Create an app from the content page in Enterprise. Share the item with a group that contains content for the catalog.

   Note:

   If you configured an app, follow the steps in Display apps, data, and web maps to add content to a site or page layout.
