M.1. About this Section
This section describes the use of the InstantAtlas ArcGIS Online templates.
The ArcGIS Online templates are HTML Edition templates which allow you
to build dynamic reports based on ArcGIS Online content. The final report
automatically gets uploaded into your ArcGIS Online account and is then
hosted there as a Web Application where you can control who can access
it. Any changes made to the data sources will automatically and instantly
be visible in your ArcGIS Online dynamic report.
For more information about ArcGIS Online please refer to:
http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisonline
It is assumed that you have already read section ‘B. The InstantAtlas
Desktop Publisher’, section ‘C. The InstantAtlas Designer’ and section
‘E. The InstantAtlas Excel Data Manager’.
M.2. Publishing an ArcGIS Online Dynamic Report
You can choose an ArcGIS Online template from the drop down list in the
Publisher. The currently available ArcGIS Online templates are:
1. ArcGIS Online – Single Map (HTML Edition)
2. ArcGIS Online – Double Map (HTML Edition)
3. ArcGIS Online – Area Profile (HTML Edition)
After choosing one of the ArcGIS Online templates and clicking ‘Next’ in
the Publisher, you will be asked to sign in to your ArcGIS Online account
(Figure 214).

M.2.1. Selecting Items from ArcGIS Online
For your map layers (base and contextual geographies as well as
background layers) you can choose ‘items’ from ArcGIS Online. It is not
possible to use digital map files saved locally on your computer or on a
network drive when publishing a report with the ArcGIS Online templates.
Also you cannot use map services from any other sources as background
layers except for those available within ArcGIS Online (and only those
supported by InstantAtlas).
When you add a new base geography, contextual geography or
background layer, the ‘Choose ArcGIS Online Data…’ dialog will appear
(Figure 215). This dialog works in a similar way to the file explorer on your
operating system.
