The ability to save an open configuration to an ArcGIS Online Web

Application enables you to apply the config.xml and default.css files from a

stand-alone dynamic report to an ArcGIS Online dynamic report. The

steps required to do this are as follows:

1. Open the config.xml file of the standalone report in the Designer. If

the default.css file is saved in the same folder as the config.xml file

it will automatically be included.

2. Now select ‘File from the main menu, then ‘Save As/To’ and then

‘ArcGIS Online Application’.

This will save both the config.xml file as well as the default.css file to the

ArcGIS Online dynamic report. If you prefer to only save the config.xml file,

you should first move the config.xml file into a separate folder without any

default.css file and then follow the steps above.

It is also possible to only save a stylesheet to an ArcGIS Online Web

Application. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. First you need to ensure that the default.css file is saved in a folder

together with a config.xml file. It doesn’t matter what kind of

config.xml file this is (i.e. which HTML template was used to create

it) or how it is configured.

2. Open the config.xml file in the Designer.

3. Select ‘File from the main menu, then ‘Save Styles To…’ and then

‘ArcGIS Online Application’ (Figure 223).

4. This will launch the ‘Choose ArcGIS Online Data’ dialog. Please

find further information on how to use it in section ‘M.2.1. Selecting

Items from ArcGIS Online’.

This will only update the stylesheet of the ArcGIS Online dynamic report;

the configuration will not be changed.
