Create map

The Crowdsource Reporter configurable application template consumes maps that are accessible to the general public and named users in your ArcGIS organization. Create a Community Impact map and share it with the general public and other stakeholders. They can then access the application on their smartphone, tablets, and desktop computers.

Community Impact

To create a Community Impact map, complete the following steps:

  1. Sign in to your ArcGIS organization.
  2. Create a map to collect community impact reports from the general public, by completing the following workflows:
    • Choose a basemap.
    • Add the CommunityImpact layer to the map. Optionally, if you have a layer containing event or disaster locations you want to get feedback on then add the layer to the map.
    • Configure pop-up for the CommunityImpact - Social Impact and CommunityImpact - Service Impact layers, as well as the CommunityImpact - Comment and CommunityImpact - ServiceComment tables using the list of field attributes option.

    • Save the map as Community Impact and add the following tags and summary:
      • Tags: Community Impact, Resilience, Public Information
      • Summary: A map used in the Community Impact application that enables the public to provide community impact reports.
  3. If you added a reference layer then ensure you disable editing on the layer.
  4. Save the map and share it with everyone and your Community Impact group.
  5. Browse to the map and edit the item details:
    • Thumbnail image: Your image.
    • Description: A map used in the Community Impact application that enables the public to provide community impact reports.
  6. Set map options by disabling Routing, Measure Tool, and Basemap Selector.
