• About me• Heather Bergen, GIS Analyst

• And you are?• Story maps are easy to configure web applications

that integrate web maps with text, photos, and other content to tell geography based stories.

• Programming not required!

Introductions

• What is ArcGIS Online?

• What’s in it for me?

• Build your organization

• Your data in the cloud

• Easy to configure web maps

• Sharing with Story Maps

• GIS on the go with Collector

App

• Operations Dashboard for

managers

• GIS for the non-GIS

professional

• ESRI Maps for Office

Today let’s discuss

• A collaborative, cloud based platform that allows for the creation and sharing of maps, apps, and data.

• Access to ESRI’s secure cloud environment, where you manage and store hosted web services.

• At the center of ESRI’s GIS platform, used as a stand-alone service or as an extension to ArcGIS desktop, ArcGIS server, and into Microsoft Office.

What is ArcGIS Online?

• ArcGIS Online can showcase the value GIS brings to your organization.

• Empower users with the ability to create maps quickly and easily with the ArcGIS Online map viewer and ESRI Maps for Office.

• Move your data into the field using configurable web applications.

• Now with ArcGIS desktop you receive an entitlement subscription to ArcGIS Online.

What’s in it for me?

• Each license of ArcGIS for Desktop entitles you to one named user and 100 credits

• 1,000 additional credits may be purchased for $100

• Upgrade to a level 1 subscription for, $2500 adding 5 users and 2,500 credits to your account

Entitlements

• Email from ESRI with the subject: “Activating your ArcGIS Online Subscription” or “Your Additional ArcGIS Online for Organizations Account Service Credits and Named Users”

Email: service@esri.com

Credits are currency

What can I do with 100 credits?

Step 1: Design your site• Create an account

• The user that activates the account will be defaulted to the site administrator role• Your site will have a custom URL selected by the administrator upon activation

• Set up your organization’s site from the My Organization’s Page

User Role – Access to hosted services to create and share maps

Publisher Role – Has user privileges, 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• Monitor storage and usage• Other users may be given an

administrator role, this is unlimited, but there must be one

Step 2: Invite users

Hint: invitation to join may end up in junk mail

Encourage collaboration with groups

Step 3: Site security

• 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

• 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

• 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

• Quickly and easily build and display useful and interactive information products to share

• You can produce story web maps without writing any code

1. create a web map

2. provide supporting material, such as text and images

3. configure application using the template filehttp://storymaps.esri.com/home/

4. Share your story

What can you do with a story map?

• 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

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

4. Configure web map in AGO• Add feature service to web map

• Save and share

• Monitor day to day operations…

• Map and inventory all assets…

• Maintain the health of your assets…

In Real Time

Operations dashboard

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.

Web Map ID

Mapping made easy: ESRI maps for Office Works in Excel

Also in Power Point

1. Open a spreadsheet with fields indicating a location

2. Click Insert map

2. Highlight the range of cells that contain locational data
