LocalMaps Categories make it easier for others to find content in your Gallery. They essentially allow users to filter down the maps and apps visible based on a keyword that you, the administrator define. This section allows you to configure what categories are available in the left-hand panel of the gallery page.

Categories are based on the item tags you create in ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS. What this means is that for a Map to appear in a Category you set, the item in ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS must also have that Category name entered as a Tag. For more information on how to configure Tags see Esri Item Details help.

Add and order categories

 

  1. Categories will be listed here (if brought over from legacy LocalMaps).

  2. New categories can be added by click the + button and entering a Category name

  3. Click OK

  4. Categories can be reordered by clicking the six dot button and dragging the category to a new position.

  5. To delete a category, click the trash can.

 

Existing categories cannot be edited. If you need to make changes to a category, it is best to delete the exisiting one and create a new one.
