Your profile in ArcGIS Online contains basic information about you, including your name, profile graphic, and biographical information. Your profile page also includes a list of groups you belong to, the number of items you own, and, depending on your profile visibility, a customizable gallery of your shared items. Your user profile informs others about who you are, what organization you represent, and your role in that organization. Profiles can also be created on behalf of an organization and provide additional details about it.
You can easily access profiles from any item by clicking the owner’s name.
You can see two examples below: a personal profile on the left and an organization profile on the right.
The profile card includes a View profile button. When clicked, it displays the profile along with a gallery of items. By default, the gallery includes the top 12 items by relevance, taking into account item quality, the number of views it has, and whether or not it is marked authoritative.
Note: The ability to create a custom gallery for your profile depends upon the visibility of your profile. If your profile visibility is set to Private, no item gallery is displayed or available for configuration. If it is set to Organization or Public, then your items are visible (based on sharing) and you can configure an item gallery.
Customize Your Gallery
You can change the default and create a custom profile item gallery to suit your needs and likes. You can highlight your work, showcase popular applications, or provide easy access to resources.
Follow these steps to customize your gallery.
Step 1: Sign in to your account, click your avatar/name, then click My profile.
Step 2: At the top of your gallery, click Customize items.
Step 3: Click Clear select to remove all your current gallery selections. Click Save.
Step 4: Click View all and browse your Content for items you want to include in your gallery. Use filters and sort to help you locate items, then check the box to select items for your custom gallery.
Step 5: Refine your selections. You can view a list using the drop-down menu, and click the x to remove an item.
Step 6: When you finish, click Save in the lower right to save your changes.
Step 7: To change the order of items, hover over the top of the thumbnail and click on the bar above the image. Grab and drag the item, then drop it into a new position.
You can update your item gallery at any time or revert to the default.
Working with a Verified Organization Item Gallery
Organizations verified by Esri can designate items they have shared with everyone (public) as authoritative. They are also boosted in search results and are returned when the Authoritative Status filter is applied.
If you have registered your ArcGIS organization, you will display a different profile card than the default. The gallery that will display with your verified organization profile card will be the same as the gallery shown when the Gallery tab is clicked in the header of your home page.
For example, this is the profile card for the City of Sandy Springs, Georgia.
When Home Page is clicked, the home page for the organization is opened. When Gallery is clicked, the group that is configured into the Gallery tab of the organization will open and display the group items. Below is the gallery displayed for the City of Sandy Springs, Georgia.
To change the items that are shown, edit the contents of the group that populates the home page gallery. For more information, see Organization verification and Configure gallery.
