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 the content owner, be a member of a shared update group with edit access to the content, or have administrative privileges.

Configure a site catalog

Note:

To manage pages as part of a catalog, refer to Customize a site. Pages added to a site catalog will appear in catalog searches. This measure ensures users only find pages you have verified. You can create a collection that omits pages to simplify finding other types of content.

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, click the Content pane.

   If necessary, click your user profile, and click View workspace to open your user workspace.

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

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

   • Include specific content by adding a filter as follows:
     1. Under Catalog configuration, click Set filters to expand this section if necessary.
     2. Click Select groups, select groups of content to include in the catalog, and click Add.
     3. Click Save changes.
   • To further customize the catalog, under Configure collections, rename, reorder, show, or hide the collections.
   • After a catalog is configured, create a site or page and add it directly to the catalog using the Add content button in the catalog.
5. To delete a configured catalog, browse to the catalog in the workspace, click the More actions button , click Delete, and click the Delete button.

   You can remove an item or event from the catalog by removing it from its 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 users with whom the content is not shared.

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

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

   If necessary, click your user profile, and click View workspace to open your user workspace.

3. Click the Manage button next to an item to open the relevant workspace.
4. Click Catalog, and click the Content pane to add existing content to the catalog.
5. Click Add content, and click Select existing content.
6. Select items, click Next, and select a group to contain the items; groups available are those that this catalog is configured to include.
7. Click 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. 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, click the Create button, and click 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, click the Content pane.

   If necessary, click your user profile, and click View workspace to open your user workspace.

3. Click the Manage button next to the item name.
4. Click Catalog, and click the Content pane to add items to the content catalog.
5. Click the Add content button, and click Other content.
6. Follow the steps in Add files as items or Create an app from the content page, and 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.
