Hollinger Week 2

Posted onAuthorlkhollinger

Chapter 1 Notes, Comments, and Questions:

    1. Several different sharing levels
    2. Content types:
      1. Data: csv, shapefiles, geodatabases, etc.
      2. Layers: feature layers, vector layers, scene layers, etc.
      3. Web Maps and Scenes: maps are 2D, scenes are 3D
      4. Tools: analytical and processing functions
      5. Apps: mobile, brower, or desktop (provided or you can create your own)
    3. Apps come in bundles: user type determines which you can access
    4. Hosted vs. Nonhosted Feature Layers
      1. Hosted: web service based on Arc Managed data (ex: stored in Arc Cloud database)
      2. Non: connects directly to user-managed data
    5. Workflow to build web apps: data sources, desktop tools, ArcOnline/ArcEnterprise, Client Apps
    6. Data can include attachments (attachment viewer app template)
      1. I think one of my applications from week one included some version or similar feature to this template
    7. Details Page Tabs:
      1. Overview: basic metadata info
      2. Data: attribute data of hosted feature layers
      3. Visualization: change default properties (styles, filter, etc.)
      4. Usage: see usage stats over time
      5. Settings: enable editing and other related options

Chapter 2 Notes, Comments, Questions

  1. Feature Layers: most common operational layer
    1. Layer types: Hosted, Hosted Web Feature Service (WFS), Hosted Tile, Hosted Vector, Hosted Web Map Tile Service (WMTS), Hosted Scene, Hosted Image, Hosted Map Image
    2. How to publish a feature layer: create from your own data, create from existing template, create from empty feature layer and define your own fields interactively
  2. Smart Mapping: visually analyze, create and share quality maps with little technical skill
    1. Makes suggestions and preforms analysis based on your data
  3. Pop-Ups: deliver more info by clicking on location/featureĀ 
  4. ArcGIS Arcade: write custom expressions for existing fields, not designed for writting stand alone apps
  5. Living Atlas Categories: basemaps, imagery, boundaries, people, infastructure, enviromentĀ 
  6. StoryMaps: combine content types, blocks (any component you use to build a story), block pallette (combines blocks into an interactive menu)
    1. Special blocksĀ 
      1. Side car: side by side reading experience
      2. Slideshow: horizontal scrolling to emphasize media
      3. Map Tour: curated set of places, guide audience through them
      4. Swipe: compare 2 maps/images
      5. Timeline: displays chronological events
  7. Express Maps:
    1. Simple, quick, lightweight maps you can make right in the storybuilder (or use existing maps)
  • Chapter 1 and 2 Application Description:
      1. My idea for my chapter 2 application is based on some project data I learned about as an intern at ODNR this summer. I will make a hosted feature layer based on the number of phosphorus-reducing projects in Ohio. This dataset is made public by ODNR (specifically H2Ohio) and contains the number of phosphorus-reducing projects in Ohio over 3 years. I will calculate growth rates and add pictures or more information about specific projects using the configure pop-ups feature. Then I would use StoryMaps and create a story about the effects of reducing phosphorus and why itā€™s important to do so in Ohio.
