Minimalist (deprecated)

Legacy:

The Minimalist template was deprecated at ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1. Apps created from this template will continue to work and you can still edit the app configuration, but the app won't get code updates. As a replacement, you can create a similar app with the Sidebar template to get the latest updates. Sidebar has a very similar configuration experience, plus more optional capabilities, such as editing, custom themes, and so on.

The Minimalist template showcases a map with options to include a legend, item description, and pop-up information in a side panel. This app maximizes the view of the map in a simplified layout so users with any level of experience can navigate and explore the app with ease. You can present a map with feature layers, imagery, or feature collections. You can also include spatial bookmarks to guide users to points of interest and a screenshot tool to capture images of the map. Add a custom header to the app to match the theme of your organization.

Data requirements

The Minimalist app has no specific data requirements.

App capabilities

The following list includes some key settings and capabilities that you can configure for this app:

  • Bookmarks—Zooms and pans the map to a collection of preset extents that are saved in the map.
  • Hover pop-ups—Provides users quick access to attribute information that appears when hovering over a feature in the map.
  • Screenshot—Captures an image of the map to export.
  • Map details—Shows details from the populated map description in the side panel of the app.
  • Basemap toggle—Changes the look of the map by switching to a different basemap.
  • Pop-up panel—Presents pop-up content in the side panel of the app rather than in the map.
  • Navigation boundary—Keeps the area in the map in focus by using a navigation boundary or disabling the ability to scroll.

All Instant Apps templates include settings for a Home button and zoom controls, a legend, and the ability to search the map or data.
