Last Published: December 28, 2022

Summary

Contents, such as titles and logos, can be configured in the ArcGIS Dashboards header. However, the header configuration is limited, and the position and size configuration of the contents are restricted to only a few options. Rich text elements can be utilized to replace the header for more control and flexibility. Advanced HTML formatting is available with rich text elements to further enhance the visual appearance of headers.
