A better experience from the start

If you’re new to ArcGIS Dashboards, getting started is more straightforward. Dashboards load cleanly, interactions behave as expected, and elements stay in sync as you explore your data.

For existing users, the difference is immediate: dashboards feel faster, more stable, and more consistent, without requiring any rework.

Behind the scenes, performance improvements help dashboards scale more reliably, even under heavier usage.

Interactions that make sense the first time

Getting comfortable with dashboards is now easier.

Across the experience, interactions follow shared ArcGIS patterns. Whether you’re working with lists, tables, indicators, or details, controls behave in familiar and predictable ways, reducing the amount you need to learn up front.

Pagination is now unified across feature-based elements, making it easier to move between records and jump directly to the information you need.

Selectors have also been simplified and clarified:

• A built-in unselected state clearly indicates when no filter is applied
• Authors can explicitly define whether a selection is required
• Date selectors now focus on a single purpose, either precise date selection or relative filtering

For new users, this means a shorter learning curve.

For existing users, it means fewer inconsistencies and more predictable behavior.

Clearer dashboards at a glance

Dashboards are designed to be understood quickly, and this release improves how information is presented.

Indicators now scale text more consistently, making it easier to compare values and maintain a clear visual hierarchy across your dashboard.

System messages such as “No Data” or “Selection Required” have also been redesigned to provide clearer, more actionable guidance using a consistent structure.

These changes make dashboards easier to scan and interpret more quickly, especially in operational environments.

Turn dashboards into storytelling tools

Dashboards are not just for monitoring; they’re also for explaining what’s happening.

If you’re new to ArcGIS Dashboards, it’s now easier to combine context and data in a single place. The Rich Text element can include live data from layers, maps, or Arcade expressions and update automatically as data changes.

At the same time, the Details element now supports related records, allowing users to move from a selected feature into associated information without adding extra visualizations.

For existing users, these changes expand how dashboards communicate. You can pair live metrics with narrative context, allowing users to explore connected information in-line, all within the same experience.

Together, these updates make it easier to explain what is happening, not just display it.

Built for global audiences and broader access

Dashboards are easier to use across different audiences, regions, and accessibility needs.

Authors can define layout direction from left-to-right, right-to-left, or based on viewer settings, so dashboards align with language and regional expectations.

More consistent system messaging and interaction patterns also improve accessibility and make dashboards easier to use with assistive technologies.

For new users, this ensures dashboards behave as expected in their environment.

For existing users, it brings greater consistency across teams and use cases.

Everything you’ve built still works

For existing users, your current dashboards continue to work as expected.

This update improves the experience without requiring you to start over. Updates to selectors, messaging, and interactions are designed to preserve existing behavior while making dashboards clearer and more predictable moving forward.
