What's new

The ArcGIS Instant Apps update includes the new features, app templates, and enhancements listed below.

Instant Apps home

  • The home page has a major user interface update, including new thumbnails for templates, data management buttons on app cards on the My Apps tab, and a new experience for searching app capabilities.

Configuration

  • Language switcher has several updates. Language switcher settings now can be found in Express mode. The configuration now also includes partial support for non-Esri-supported languages. See Translate app text for more information. Language switcher has also been added to the Compare, Countdown, Exhibit, Insets, Observer, and Reporter templates.
  • The Screenshot tool has officially been retired and replaced with the Export tool. All apps that previously had the Screenshot tool now automatically have the Export tool in its place. Additional file formats have been added and your custom header logo can now be included in the export.
  • The search configuration now includes an updated zoom scale slider.

Templates

  • 3D Viewer now includes an oriented imagery tool and a viewshed analysis tool.
  • Atlas has an enhanced Map layers panel interface with improved support for small screen sizes and better visual indication of group layers. Atlas now includes the time slider for time-aware maps, and app users can now add pop-ups for sketched features.
  • Basic now supports link charts.
  • Compare is a new app template that allows users to choose between two comparison modes. One mode allows users to compare up to four maps, scenes, or a mix of maps and scenes at the same location. The other mode allows users to use bookmarks or slides to compare multiple locations of the same map. Compare also includes a basic set of map exploration tools to help navigate locations, maps, or scenes in the app.
  • Interactive Legend has a new compact legend configuration option.
  • Manager includes several configuration experience enhancements, including the ability for users to search in layers where full-text indexes are configured, and you can now choose the default layout for the app upon launch. You can also now enable the options for app users to create features and edit feature geometry, in addition to an option for snapping tools while editing. Additionally, Manager now has a capability that allows filtering the table by map extent.
  • Media Map has enhanced swipe tool functionality.
  • Observer is a new app template that displays a scene with a dynamic scoreboard that shows basic statistics (count, sum, average, minimum, maximum) for specified fields. As users navigate the scene, values update in the scoreboard to summarize data for features in the current extent.
  • Public Notification has added more list configuration options to allow app authors to select what options appear in the list.
  • Reporter has a configuration option that allows you to change the sort option for reports from the default method of newest to either highest voted or oldest. In addition, a new configuration option allows for filtering reports only within the visible map extent.
  • Sidebar has a minor configuration update that affects all apps. Users with existing apps created using Sidebar who want to display the attribute table for layers in the layer list must update their layer list settings and republish their apps.
  • Streamflow Viewer is a new app template that allows users to visualize 10 days of river flow forecasts. This app includes the GEOGLOWS Streamflow Model map service, a river forecast from the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) and the United States National Weather Model that both report streamflow every three hours. App viewers can interact with a chart showing the return period flow for a specific stream segment and animate changes in forecast data for each stream segment using the time slider.
  • Zone Lookup has added a statistics tool that can present statistics about search results.
