Configure application

The Community Impact application can be used by the public to report a variety of short, mid or long term impacts following a natural disaster. By reporting the cascade effects of outages and closures on the community, organizations can better understand how resilience can be improved. This application can be hosted in your ArcGIS organization, or downloaded and hosted on your local web server.

Community Impact application

To configure the Community Impact application, complete the following steps:

Sign in to your ArcGIS organization.
Create an app from a group using the Community Impact group and Crowdsource Reporter configurable application template, then share it with everyone. For more information on configuring Crowdsource Reporter, see Configure Crowdsource Reporter topic.

Tip:

When configuring the application, on the Reports tab, use the vote field for storing the vote count and check Display comments using the pop-up configuration of the table layer where the comments are stored check box. Optionally, on the Options tab, ensure to check the Show reference layers and Show popup for non-editable layers check boxes, if you added a reference layer to your map.

Caution:

The Community Impact application displays one or more maps in a group and related details about the group, such as the name and description. For this reason, the application must reference a group that contains the maps instead of referencing a single map.
Optionally, edit the item details to provide a description and a thumbnail image.
