plus the ability to add data to
account.
Administrator Role – Has privileges
of publisher and user, plus
additional capabilities to manage
the organization and other users:
• Manage and configure site
• Invite and manage users

administrator role, this is
unlimited, but there must be one
Step 2: Invite users
Hint: invitation to join may end up in junk mail

11. Step 3: Site security

12. • Centralized location for storing, accessing, and sharing spatial data and
maps
• Extend GIS capabilities and collaboration tools throughout your
organization
• My content
• ESRI enriched data layers
• Web Map
• Web mapping applications
• Operations dashboard
Your data in the cloud

13. • A web map is an interactive
display of geographic data that
you can use to tell stories, answer
questions, and edit data.
What is a web map?
•Collect data - Pavement (asset) inspections
•Share information – Results of a GPSed tree or sign inventory
•Tell stories – Where are the carp?
•Answer questions – Where is my staff relative to my projects?
•Mobilize geographic data - Large scale wetland field review

14. • GIS is evolving to become part of everyday work life for many people.
• Geographic analysis is the foundation of GIS used to reveal patterns, trends.
• New analysis capabilities are continuously being added to ArcGIS Online
Spatial analysis capabilities
make better decisions
boost productivity

Engage with citizens and customers

15. • Quickly and easily build and display useful and
interactive information products to share
• You can produce story web maps without writing any
code

3. configure application using the template file
http://storymaps.esri.com/home/
4. Share your story
What can you do with a story
map?

16. • Capture and update information using the built-in GPS
capabilities of your smartphone
• Use intelligent forms to ensure data accuracy and to
simplify data collection
Create Efficiency with Collector
• Capture pictures and videos of
assets
• Seamlessly integrate
information back to
organization's GIS

17. 1. Create a new File Geodatabase in ArcCatalog
• Provide an organized list of attributes to be collected using domains and subtypes
• Apply the data dictionary to a point feature class
• Project the data to Coordinate system WGS 1984 (auxiliary sphere)
• Right click the feature class an enable attachments
Create your own Collector Map
2. Publish to ArcGIS Online from ArcGIS Desktop
• Add your point feature class to desktop and save map
• Click File menu > Share As > Service to publish from Desktop
3. Feature service Properties
• Set capabilities to feature access
• Allow for updates, editing, querying
• Share with your organization
• May choose to share only with specific groups

19. Customize apps using web map id
• The ArcGIS API for JavaScript has methods that allow you to
consume the web maps from a ArcGIS Online.
var webmap = new esri.arcgis.utils.createMap(“hbascjhv5757acsdvvv424vsd”, "map");
• Create a WebMap in ArcGIS Online. Note web map id to reference
in ArcGIS JavaScript application.
• Bring web map into the application by providing id or by accessing
individual Feature Layer REST endpoints.
