Configuring the home page

Subscription:

Configuring the home page requires an organizational account with an administrator role.

As an administrator of your organization, you can set up the look and functionality of your organization's home page.

To configure the home page, follow the steps below.

Steps:

1. Verify that you are logged in and that you are an administrator of your organization.
2. Click the My Organization link in the top banner.

   Your organization page opens.

3. Click the Edit Settings button.
4. Click the Home Page link on the left side of the page.
5. Configure any of the following home page settings:
   • For Background Image, select the default image, upload your own image, or specify no background image.

     If you upload your own image, the image is positioned at the top and center of the page. The image repeats horizontally if it is smaller than the browser or device window. If you want a single, nonrepeating background image, for best results, the image should be 1920 pixels wide (or smaller if your users are on smaller screens). The website does not resize the image. You can upload a file up to 1 MB in size.

   • For Banner, select an image or enter your own HTML to create the contents of the banner area.

     For best results your image should be 960 pixels wide by 180 pixels high. You can upload a file up to 1 MB in size. For more information on using HTML, see Using HTML to create a home page banner.

   • For Featured Content, choose a group whose content you want featured on the home page. Up to 12 items in the group can appear on the home page. You can also choose not to feature any content.
     Tip:

     When members of your organization sign out, they see the home page. They will only see the featured content on the home page if you choose a public group. If you choose a group shared only with your organization, the featured content is not visible when the member signs out.

     To change how the items are sorted, select a field in the drop-down list next to Sorted by. To change how the items are ordered, check or uncheck the box next to Ascending. If you change the sort field or order here, the items on the group page, as well as on embedded galleries or gallery apps, are also changed.

6. Click Save to save the changes you've made.

Tip:

Group owners can add public items to their groups. This means that as a group owner, you could include some web maps in your featured content group shared in ArcGIS Online by Esri and other users. See Owning groups for more information.
