ArcGIS Experience Builder is a low-code tool that enables users to create interactive content and web experiences with ease. It supports drag-and-drop interfaces, 2D and 3D data integration, and customizable widgets to enhance functionality. Users can start with templates or build layouts from scratch, incorporating themes, source data, and device-specific optimizations. Built on technologies like ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise, HTML5, and ArcGIS API for JavaScript, it allows for the creation of apps, maps, and interactive tools through features such as message actions (trigger-based automation) and data actions (user-initiated tasks like exporting data). Experience Builder offers components like pages, windows, and outline views, along with a variety of widgets for organizing content and improving usability.
Chapter 4:
Mobile GIS extends traditional GIS functionality to portable devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops, offering mobility, real-time information, and locational awareness. It supports efficient data collection and management through apps like ArcGIS Field Maps, which enables users to plan, track, and update field data seamlessly. Mobile GIS leverages GPS, wireless communication, and mobile operating systems (Android, iOS) for accessibility and versatility, though smaller screens can limit visibility compared to desktop GIS. App development strategies include browser-based, native-based, and hybrid-based approaches, emphasizing the need for simple, user-friendly designs for mobile platforms.
Application: With surveys and the benefit of mobile GIS I think an app that would collect real time data for birds spotted in certain areas would be a cool concept.
