Creating Charts as Pop-up Media in ArcGIS Online


Putting charts in the pop window of features on a web map help to convey more information on the theme of the map. ArcGIS Online is the web mapping platform for Esri and this post will demonstrate how to add charts as a media in the Pop-up display.

Things to note
-ArcGIS Online is a web mapping application which implies it can be accessed only via the internet.
- ArcGIS Online accounts are available at ESRI.com. Registered ESRI Global account holders have automatic access to ArcGIS Online Basic Accounts.
