Content manager tab highliting the New items tool that is part of the data management tools in a portal.
Data management tools are the functionality in a portal that you can use to create and manage content and data for your custom applications. These tool are located in the content manager page which provides a centralized location for you to browse, search, and manage various types of geospatial content in your portal.
The content manager page allows you to manage and organize geospatial data and resources. You can upload, create, and store various types of content such as maps, layers, applications, and files. Additionally, the content manager page provides options for sharing content with others, setting permissions, and managing item details and metadata. This functionality supports data management and collaboration in portal.
The section below introduces tools you can use to create content and data in your portal.

The linked resource will now be accessible in your portal.
Application tool The Application tool displaying application type options for creating an application in the portal.The application tool in the New item dialog allows users to create and publish various web applications. This tool supports different app templates and builders, enabling users to configure and customize apps to meet specific needs, such as data visualization, interactive mapping, or spatial analysis. Users can define properties like the app title, description, and tags to ensure proper categorization and easy access.
You access the application tool by creating a new item. The steps to use the tool are:
The app will now be accessible in the portal.
Tile layer toolThe feature layer tool displaying the various options on creating a new feature layer in the portal.
The tile layer tool allows you to create and publish tile layers from raster datasets or map tiles. This tool supports various input formats and enables users to define properties like tiling scheme, levels of detail, and spatial reference. Tile layers provide fast and efficient visualization of large datasets for basemaps and operational layers in web maps and applications.
You access the tile layer tool by creating a new item. The steps to use the tool are:
