When you open Instant Apps, you can browse a gallery of app templates and choose one as a starting point for creating an app. Read details about each template, including example use cases and data requirements, and search app capabilities to help you choose an appropriate app. Use the My Apps tab to manage the apps you've created and create apps based on the template or settings used by your existing apps.
Tip:
Instant Apps checks the data and configuration of your selected map. If your map doesn't meet the requirements for an app (such as attachments or an imagery layer), a warning message appears on the item card to inform you.
Before creating and publishing an app, complete the following steps to explore what's available in the template gallery:
- Sign in to your ArcGIS organization with an account that has privileges to create content (or sign in to ArcGIS Online with a public account).
- Open Instant Apps using one of the following methods:
- Open a map in Map Viewer. On the Contents (dark) toolbar, click the Create app button and choose Instant Apps.
- Open the item page for a map, click Create Web App, and choose Instant Apps.
- On the My Content tab of the content page, click Create app and choose Instant Apps.
- Explore the templates to choose one that meets your needs. Click options on the gallery cards to read app descriptions and view item details for more information.
Some app templates have specific data requirements. When you preselect a map, Instant Apps validates if it meets these requirements. Template cards are moved to the end of the gallery if they aren't applicable to your map and they display a message to indicate what's required, such as a web scene or group.
- Search the templates for a particular app capability. In the search box, type a search term, such as bookmarks or time, and click the suggestion that appears.
The gallery is filtered to show only the apps that support the selected capability.
- Use the sort menu to change the sort order to help you find a particular app (such as by name).
Tip:
Click Preview to try an app before creating it. If the default settings meet your needs and work with your map, you can publish it as is. If you want to make changes, you can choose to configure the app and customize it before publishing.
- If you've already created apps with Instant Apps, access and manage them on the My Apps tab. Click options on the cards to view the app and item page, configure and make changes, delete, and save a copy to use as a starting point for new apps.
The cards for each app indicate the name of the template and map used by the app.
