The Save widget allows logged in users to save a map with additional graphics, different layers or a different extent. This map can be kept private for use again when logged into LocalMaps or can be shared with another user - whilst maintaining the additional information.
Use the Save widget
1. To use the Save widget, the user must be logged in to LocalMaps. This can be done in either the LocalMaps Gallery, or in a LocalMaps Viewer if already opened.
To log in via the Gallery, click Log in in the top right corner. Log in using either an ArcGIS Named User (ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS), Facebook or Google.
- To Log in via the Viewer, open a map and click the Save icon. Log in using either an ArcGIS Named User (ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS), Facebook or Google. The viewer will then reload.
Note
If LocalMaps has been configured using IWA, then users will automatically be logged into save maps. If LocalMaps is set up to use your organizations AFDS then users will still be prompted to log into save maps.
2. Once logged in, the Save widget displays options to save a new map and its contents
3. Enter a name for your map
4. By default, your saved map will be private. Private maps are then only accessible to that user when they log into LocalMaps. Uncheck this to make the saved map shareable.
5. Click Save
6. A new saved map will be added to the save panel along with the date it was saved.
7. If you chose to make your map shareable, you can then click the Share this Map button. This opens the Share panel. For more information on how to share a map see Share Widget.
8. If you would like to update a saved map, click the Update this Map button. This will overwrite the currently saved map with your new additions, layers or extent.
9. Saved maps can be accessed in two ways. First, by logging to the Gallery and clicking on the my Saved Maps category or by opening the Save widget to see the listed Maps.
