PROBLEM

Unable to rename a tab title in the ArcGIS Dashboards mobile view

Last Published: September 12, 2023

Description

In the ArcGIS Dashboards mobile view, users can stack two or more elements on top of each other to create tabs for each element. Once the element is added to the stack, a new tab is created. While editing and updating the mobile view, the new tab title in the View pane is not reflected in the tab title on the mobile view screen, as shown in the image below. This article provides the workaround.
