1. Create and customize a hub site<\/h1>\n

To create a site similar to the U.S. Census Bureau\u2019s COVID-19 hub<\/a>, you will use ArcGIS Hub Basic<\/a>. The first step is creating your hub site<\/a> by signing in to your ArcGIS account and opening the Hub app. (You can also sign in directly at hub.arcgis.com<\/a>.) On the Hub Overview page, click New<\/strong> to create a site. Name your site and click Create Site<\/strong>. From here, you will be taken to your site in edit mode. You\u2019ll see your site in the main window, and a side panel on the left named Customize<\/strong>\u2014you will use this side panel to add most of your content. From this panel, you can also change the layout and themes of your site. And by clicking the Settings button on any component in the site, the side panel will then show editing options for that component. For example, if you want to change the banner image at the top of your site, hover over the banner image and click the Settings button. The side panel will show you all the options for this component.<\/p>\n

You can start customizing your site by matching its color themes and fonts to your organization\u2019s branding<\/a>. In the side panel, select Theme<\/strong>. Alter the background colors, text colors and fonts, and link appearance to align with your brand and your organization’s other web pages.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":997182,"id":997182,"title":"theme_color_settings","filename":"theme_color_settings-1.png","filesize":16801,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/theme_color_settings-1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-hub\/sharing-collaboration\/how-we-did-it-covid-19-data-hub\/theme_color_settings-2","alt":"Screenshot of adjusting theme color settings to headers, backgrounds, body sections, and more by applying colors' hex values for branding.","author":"7121","description":"","caption":"","name":"theme_color_settings-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":996942,"date":"2020-09-01 19:45:54","modified":"2020-09-04 02:09:16","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":258,"height":493,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/theme_color_settings-1-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/theme_color_settings-1.png","medium-width":137,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/theme_color_settings-1.png","medium_large-width":258,"medium_large-height":493,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/theme_color_settings-1.png","large-width":258,"large-height":493,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/theme_color_settings-1.png","1536x1536-width":258,"1536x1536-height":493,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/theme_color_settings-1.png","2048x2048-width":258,"2048x2048-height":493,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/theme_color_settings-1-243x465.png","card_image-width":243,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/theme_color_settings-1.png","wide_image-width":258,"wide_image-height":493}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/theme_color_settings-1.png"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":969081,"id":969081,"title":"separator","filename":"separator.png","filesize":125,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-hub\/local-government\/covid-19-u-s-census-hub\/separator-3","alt":"","author":"7121","description":"","caption":"","name":"separator-3","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":967491,"date":"2020-08-06 22:32:09","modified":"2020-08-06 22:32:09","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":420,"height":80,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator-213x80.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":80,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator.png","medium-width":420,"medium-height":80,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator.png","medium_large-width":420,"medium_large-height":80,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator.png","large-width":420,"large-height":80,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator.png","1536x1536-width":420,"1536x1536-height":80,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator.png","2048x2048-width":420,"2048x2048-height":80,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator.png","card_image-width":420,"card_image-height":80,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator.png","wide_image-width":420,"wide_image-height":80}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

On the Census Bureau\u2019s COVID-19 hub<\/a>, the US Demographic and Economic Data At A Glance section includes a row of four statistics along the top of the page content (Population Aged 65 Years and Older, Total Uninsured Population, Total Employer Establishments, and Total Non-Employer Establishments). You can replicate this style using Summary Statistics cards in ArcGIS Hub<\/a>. These cards draw from the data you upload to accompany your hub site\u2014the content library.<\/p>\n

    3. Incorporate infographics<\/h1>\n

    A popular feature of the Census Bureau\u2019s COVID-19 hub<\/a> is its display of large batches of dynamic infographics. These infographics display pertinent information for responding to and recovering from the impacts of COVID-19. The ArcGIS Business Analyst<\/a> team worked with the U.S. Census Bureau to design and embed the infographics dashboard in their hub site. This involved using a custom batch export tool to create infographics for each county and state in the U.S. and hosting the HTMLs on a web server. The team then used feature service layers that contain the URLs of the infographics to create a dashboard through ArcGIS Dashboards<\/a>, which was then embedded in the hub site.<\/p>\n

    However, anyone can customize and embed infographics into their own hub sites using a fairly simple workflow. The result will not look exactly the same as the custom version of the player on the Census site, but it will maintain much of the functionality and look similar to the player\u2019s polished appearance.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":997872,"id":997872,"title":"Infographic storymap","filename":"Infographic-storymap.png","filesize":36610,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Infographic-storymap.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-hub\/sharing-collaboration\/how-we-did-it-covid-19-data-hub\/infographic-storymap","alt":"COVID-19 infographic displayed in hub site","author":"78361","description":"","caption":"","name":"infographic-storymap","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":996942,"date":"2020-09-02 18:03:48","modified":"2020-09-02 18:04:18","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1173,"height":746,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Infographic-storymap-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Infographic-storymap.png","medium-width":410,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Infographic-storymap.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":488,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Infographic-storymap.png","large-width":1173,"large-height":746,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Infographic-storymap.png","1536x1536-width":1173,"1536x1536-height":746,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Infographic-storymap.png","2048x2048-width":1173,"2048x2048-height":746,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Infographic-storymap-731x465.png","card_image-width":731,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Infographic-storymap.png","wide_image-width":1173,"wide_image-height":746}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Infographic-storymap.png"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

      The Demographic and Economic Analysis section of the Census COVID-19 hub<\/a> begins with a collection of eight policy maps chosen from Esri Maps for Public Policy<\/a> for their relevance to the topic at hand: COVID-19. The search bar allows anyone to center these nationwide maps at their area of interest, and then easily rotate through each map. The Share interface allows people to email the collection, or post the collection on various social media channels. If the viewer has an ArcGIS Online login, they can even add all the maps in the collection directly to My Favorites, allowing them to access these maps while working in ArcGIS Online. Web maps can be used in many ways: as a starting place for users to modify and create their own web maps, for additional context for any analysis needs, or directly in a story or dashboard.<\/p>\n

      Here’s how you can do it:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Explore the Esri Maps for Public Policy site to select one of the existing collections, modify them, or create your own collection<\/a> to fit your needs.<\/li>\n
      2. Then embed the collection<\/a> into the hub site using the embed with iframe option.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The Census COVID-19 hub<\/a> includes a Categorical Datasets search, which features clickable icons that link to various categories of data available through the U.S. Census Bureau. This makes it easier to search for particular types of datasets, and requires a small amount of organization on the back end of the hub site. You can create a similar section for your own site by using Category cards that link to category groups<\/a> in your content library.<\/p>\n

          Using Hub Basic and Hub Premium<\/h1>\n

          All of the workflows discussed in this article can be done in ArcGIS Hub Basic, which is available through your ArcGIS Online subscription. ArcGIS Hub features a gallery of exemplary COVID-19 response websites<\/a> from state and local governments, which may provide inspiration for your own work. You can also use ArcGIS Hub Premium, which expands on the functionalities included in the Basic platform. These additional functionalities include the ability to open your hub to your community of stakeholders and members of the public, so they can create their own web maps and stories, contribute to a team, and sign up for email updates from your team.<\/p>\n

          Using ArcGIS Hub Premium, you can also share events, create supporting teams, and use the template builder to create templates of your sites, apps, and other content. Members of your organization and the public can adopt these templates for configuration with their own data and branding.<\/p>\n

          As the site creator, you will also have access to Esri templates<\/a>, which can be adopted to address COVID-19 and other major use cases, such as ensuring transparent elections, reducing homelessness, and tackling the opioid epidemic. ArcGIS Hub Premium also allows you to create supporting teams for an initiative, so you can share content with stakeholders for review and feedback.<\/p>\n

          Whether you are a Basic or Premium user, ArcGIS Hub offers hub templates for addressing COVID-19, including templates for coronavirus response, coronavirus business continuity, and grocery store inventory websites.\u00a0These templates allow organizations to increase communication and community engagement as they respond to the crucial challenges of a global pandemic.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
