Steps to use ArcGIS configurable apps Choose Configure Deploy Discover the data, maps and apps. Consider the following: Purpose: audience, usage Functional requirements Aesthetic: branding, message ArcGIS app templates have a hosted configuration user interface. Story Maps provide guided web builders. ArcGIS Solution apps provide a local configuration file. Share your web apps with your end users. Online and Portal both host configurable apps automatically. Alternatively, you can download the app source code and host it locally. ArcGIS Solution apps must be deployed locally. Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

User experience design principles A good web GIS app should deliver a positive user experience Fast Easy Fun Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

Basic components of a Web GIS app Best practice: Web GIS apps have basemaps, operational layers, and tools. ArcGIS Online makes creating web apps an easy equation. Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

Basemap layers Basemaps provide reference or context. ArcGIS Online includes a gallery of 2D and 3D basemaps. ArcGIS Online can use your map services as the basemaps. Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

Operational layers Operational layers are thematic representations of your data Can be created or discovered Types include CSV, TXT, GPX Shapefiles ArcGIS map, feature, and image services KML GeoRSS Tile layers OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) WMS, WMTS, and WFS layers … Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

Tools Tools perform tasks beyond mapping Examples of tools include Routing Geocoding Printing Querying Summary Other spatial analysis tools And many more Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

Web maps and layers are web services Web service: a program that runs on a web server and exposes programing interfaces for clients to consume over the web Website HTML Web service JSON, XML… Reusable building blocks Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

Layers and hosted feature layers Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

Many types of web layers Feature layer: points, lines, polygons Tile layer: prerendered map raster tiles or vector tiles Map image layer: dynamically rendered images Elevation layer: elevation data in prerendered cached image tiles Scene layer: a collection of 3D feature objects and z-values. Table: A collection of rows and columns A layer represents both data and visualization. Visualization can include  symbols and colors, pop-up , transparency, filters, and other properties Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

Feature services and hosted feature layers Feature service: an umbrella term for web services that supply geographic features and attributes to clients Hosted feature layer: a type of feature service hosted on ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS Can support read access, and write access (if enabled) Read (query) Web clients Write (add, delete, and update) Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

Style your layers: Smart mapping Heat map Color map Size map Point map Color and size map Time map Arcade expression map Predominance map Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

Style your layers: Smart mapping Workflows analyze your data and suggest the best way to represent your data. Suggested visible ranges allow you to see your data at sensible scales. Smart defaults take the guesswork out of setting up many of the map properties. You can preview your styling choices on your screen. Based on the basemap you select, smart mapping automatically suggests and coordinates colors and other map styling. Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

Design pop-ups for your operational layers Pop-ups are windows that show geographic information. Displays when someone clicks on the map. Supports following content types: Attribute fields (aliases and values) Custom-formatted text Attachments Images Charts Links Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

ArcGIS Arcade Portable, lightweight, and secure expression language Supports building expressions without having to alter the data. Examples: Label the percentage of people under 5 in the total population. Calculate the weekday of the crime events in a layer. Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

Tutorial App requirements: Create and configure your feature layers, and use them to create Story Maps apps Create data from a CSV file and access additional layers from the Living Atlas. Use smart mapping and Arcade. Create a Story Map Journal web app. App requirements: Map symbols should be easy to understand. The app should present the population change patterns and the reasons behind the patterns. Work on desktops, tablets, and smartphones. Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

Tutorial Create a Story Maps app that presents the spatial patterns of US population growth, and explore the reasons behind the patterns.

Summary Hosted feature layers and Esri Story Maps Apps are the face of Web GIS. ArcGIS configurable apps include ArcGIS Online and Portal for ArcGIS configurable app templates, Story Maps, and Solutions apps. The general steps to use the configurable apps include choose, configure, and optionally deploy. Web Apps are composed of basemaps, operational layers, and tools. Layer configuration typically includes styles, pop-ups, and other properties. Smart mapping adds meaningful visualization to your web maps and apps. Arcade is an expression language that can be used across the ArcGIS Platform. Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition

Assignment Hosted feature layers and Esri Story Maps Create a hosted feature layer and use it in a story map to tell a story. Topic ideas: your passion, the spread of a virus, historical theme, economic development strategy, etc Data: Some of the data should come from ArcGIS Living Atlas or ArcGIS Open Data. Requirements: Based on a Story Maps template (Map Journal, Series, Shortlist, Playlist, Countdown). Include 5 types of resources: text, video, picture, map and web page. Use Arcade when styling your layer or configuring your layer pop-up. Getting to Know Web GIS, third edition
