The September 2017 update to ArcGIS Online<\/a> introduces new features and enhancements. \u00a0For configurable apps, this release is predominately a bug fix and stability driven update. \u00a0We have included over 50 bug fixes and enhancements such as a new splash screen to the Map Tools<\/a> app and the ability to disable navigation in Time Aware<\/a>. \u00a0On top of these improvements, we do introduce a few new changes to highlight.<\/p>\n

Introducing: Image Interpretation (beta)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Image Interpretation (beta)<\/a> is a new configurable app that has been introduced into beta that enables users to extract meaning from imagery. \u00a0It includes a set of tools for comparison, measurement, change detection, editing, rendering, and more. \u00a0To create an image interpretation app, click the Create a Web App button on the app’s item details page<\/a>. \u00a0Also, you can find the app within the Early Adopter Templates group<\/a>.\u00a0 As an admin, use the steps provided on that page to set up the app within your web app templates group so members in your organization can publish apps from Map Viewer or from the My Content tab of the content page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Map Styler and Scene Styler<\/strong><\/p>\n

Map Styler<\/a> and Scene Styler<\/a> are available to use in the gallery of apps<\/a> and no longer are in the beta phase. \u00a0Use these apps to\u00a0easily design and style mapping applications with Calcite colors, themes and layouts. These templates produce modern applications that allow you to visualize and explore a web map or web scene. \u00a0Use these when you want the most out-of-the-box control over the styling, look and feel, and theme of the app that features your map or scene.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Crowdsource Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crowdsource Reporter<\/a> now supports setting a comment period in which users can submit new reports, comments, or votes. \u00a0Utilize this new option to control the feedback time frame in user facing apps. \u00a0Here is what the new option looks like in the app’s configuration panel in its default state.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Public Gallery Moved to Mature Status<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Public Gallery<\/a> group app is now moved to mature status<\/a> and will no longer appear in the gallery of apps<\/a>. \u00a0Existing Public Gallery apps will continue to work as expected and be reconfigurable. \u00a0As alternative solutions moving forward, we recommend to use the Maps and Apps Gallery<\/a> or the Minimal Gallery (beta)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Story Maps<\/strong><\/p>\n

In our continued effort towards all apps achieving 508 and WCAG compliance, our Story Map Journal<\/a> app now has improved keyboard navigation enabling a better experience for keying through tabs, buttons, links, etc.<\/p>\n"}],"authors":[{"ID":6781,"user_firstname":"Matthew","user_lastname":"Payne","nickname":"Matt Payne","user_nicename":"mattpayne","display_name":"Matt Payne","user_email":"MPayne@esri.com","user_url":"","user_registered":"2018-03-02 00:18:48","user_description":"Product Engineer with Instant Apps.
