Overview of this book

ArcGIS is Esri's catalog of GIS applications with powerful tools for visualizing, maintaining, and analyzing data. ArcGIS makes use of the modern ribbon interface and 64-bit processing to increase the speed and efficiency of using GIS. It allows users to create amazing maps in both 2D and 3D quickly and easily. If you want to gain a thorough understanding of the various data formats that can be used in ArcGIS Pro and shared via ArcGIS Online, then this book is for you. Beginning with a refresher on ArcGIS Pro and how to work with projects, this book will quickly take you through recipes about using various data formats supported by the tool. You will learn the limits of each format, such as Shapefiles, Geodatabase, and CAD files, and learn how to link tables from outside sources to existing GIS data to expand the amount of data that can be used in ArcGIS. You'll learn methods for editing 2D and 3D data using ArcGIS Pro and how topology can be used to ensure data integrity. Lastly the book will show you how data and maps can be shared via ArcGIS Online and used with web and mobile applications.

Sharing published content


As you have seen, ArcGIS Online is a great repository of content, including maps and data. However, one of the strongest capabilities ArcGIS Online provides is the ability to share that content with others. Any content you add to ArcGIS Online can be shared so that others can also access and make use of it. That makes the content more dynamic and can greatly increase its value.

If you choose to share your content, you have three options for sharing it. First, you can share it only with yourself. That means you can access it anywhere you have a connection to ArcGIS Online, but no one else can. The next option is to share it with your organization. That allows that anyone with an ArcGIS Online user login from your organization will be able to access your content. Lastly, you can choose to share your content with specific groups. Groups can include specific users from your organization, and possibly those outside if allowed by your organization's ArcGIS Online administrator...
