Building Your Web Application
Let the notes from the design brainstorm guide as you build out the interactive map.
*Note: This tutorial outlines steps for building one type of interactive map template, in order to show the basic functionality and editing features of ArcGIS Online. You may decide a different template is the best fit for your project. The specifics of that template will be different from what you’re seeing here, but the basic features and functionality will likely have some overlap.
Layout options
Like you saw in the gallery, this template offers Tabbed, Side Accordion, or Bulleted layout options.
You can customize other layout settings like color scheme under Settings.
Maps and Map Layers
For any of the layout options, you can bring in layers from the Web Map you created in previous sections of this tutorial. Customizing the map content display allows you to use the same Web Map and select specific players to display on a page.
Text
For any of the layout options, you can include text or other multimedia content to accompany the map.
Leaving this panel blank will make it hidden (not visible) in the public map interface.
