Description:
ArcGIS Online (AGOL) is Esri’s cloud-based GIS platform that allows users to create maps and other web applications for data sharing, collaboration and analysis.
This practical, one-day hands-on course provides a guided introduction to AGOL. You will learn how to publish existing vector data to AGOL, set sharing and group privileges and create a web map that drives field-based data collection. You will use Experience Builder to create a web application that is used for sharing and visualising spatial data. The course comprises hands-on exercises each introduced with a short presentation and a live demonstration.
The course covers:
An introduction to ArcGIS Online (AGOL).
Sharing your vector data from ArcGIS Pro to AGOL.
Controlling access (settings, groups and views).
Create a web map from your shared data.
Build a web map application in Experience Builder.
Configure layers for data capture.
Accessing data in AGOL directly within ArcGIS Pro.
By the end of the course participants will be able to:
Prepare and upload vector data from desktop ArcGIS Pro to ArcGIS Online.
Create views, groups and set access privileges for hosted feature layers.
Create a web map, set layer symbology and configure pop-ups.
Configure data for data capture.
Create an Experience Builder application from the web map to share and visualise data.
Access layers in AGOL directly within ArcGIS Pro for data analysis.
This course is intended for users of ESRI’s ArcGIS Pro software who wish to improve their technical knowledge and understanding in ArcGIS Online (AGOL), the cloud-based counterpart, to traditional desktop GIS. Delegates should be familiar with the basics of using ArcGIS Pro and spatial data (e.g. using spatial layers, working with an attribute table, setting symbology, vector data).
Delegates should be familiar with the basics of using ArcGIS Pro and spatial data (e.g. using spatial layers, working with an attribute table, setting symbology, vector data).
This is a 1-day online course starting from 9:30 and completing at 17:00, with a mid-morning break (10 mins), a 30 minute lunch and an optional mid-afternoon break (10 mins).
Delegates are provided with the data used to take part in the course and electronic copies of the course materials (presentations and exercises). The course comprises of 7 modules. Each module has a short introduction presentation, followed by a live demonstration to reinforce what was discussed in the presentation. Delegates will then work through an exercise on that topic for around 15 to 45 minutes. The trainer will be present to answer any queries. The course is delivered online using Zoom desktop. The trainer will be present throughout the course and additional trainers will support if required.
