Web map presentations are a great way to communicate and inform others, whether your audience is internal staff, decision makers, or the public. *A presentation allows you to tell a sequential story with information in a map, and is composed by saving interactive map slides. Each slide can use different views of the map, including different basemaps, operational layers, map locations, visible pop-ups, and titles.*You can even set your presentation to autoplay when opened.
You can make and share a presentation easily using any map you own by following these simple steps.
Step 1. Open your map and click Create Presentation.
Step 2. Click Add to begin adding slides.
For each slide, set the following slide properties:
3. Slide Title – the text string that appears at the top center.
4. Set To Current – sets the zoom extent.
5. Layers – turn layers off or on.
6. Basemap – choose a different basemap.
7. Pop-up – open and save a pop-up on your map.
When finished with the current slide, click Add to add a new slide, and repeat the process until your presentation is completed.
Click Slide List to see a list of your current slides.
You can reorder slides in the list via drag and drop, and can select a slide to delete, duplicate, or edit.
If desired, choose Options to set the Auto advance time.
Click Save when your presentation is finished.
Once you click Save the presentation becomes a part of your map. When others view your map or map item, the presentation can be opened.
You can share the presentation directly by clicking Share, choosing Presentation in the Link to this map section, then copying and pasting the link.
