Sharing groups

You can immediately share any group that you belong to or find on the portal website by e-mailing a link or embedding it in a website or blog (no programming required). Open the group, click the Share button, and choose an option for sharing the group.

You can also share groups you own. Use the website to create a group, add some content, and invite members to join so they can contribute content. Follow the process below to share your group.

Log in to the website

Log in to the website. Before you log in for the first time, you need to create an account. Check with your portal administrator if you need login information.

Create a group

To create a group, open Groups and click the Create a Group button. A window opens where you can enter a name, summary, description, tag, and thumbnail. For more information, see Creating groups.

Make your group public

To share your map with others who have access to the portal website, open My Content, check the check box next to the title of your map, and click the Share button. See Sharing items for more information.

Share your group

There are several ways you can share groups you belong to:

• Copy the short URL and paste it into an e-mail, blog, or website. For more information, see Linking to groups.
• Embed the contents of a group in a website. For more information, see Embedding groups.
• Create a gallery of items from the group with one of the provided configurable application templates. You can host the application on your own server. For more information, see Creating applications with groups.

Note:

You may not see all of these sharing options, depending on how your administrator has configured your portal website.
