  2. Welcome to GIS Day 2019 GIS Day was first held on November 19th, 1999 (It’s always the Wednesday of Geography Awareness Week)

  3. Arcgis online empowers us all! • Cloud based GIS / Accessible from any web browser or mobile device • Ecosystem of tools • Develop and display maps/apps without web design background • Easy to use, even for non-GIS users. • Geography based information / smart decision making

  4. 2 flavors of ArcGis on the web Portal/Enterprise ArcGIS Online • Sits behind your firewall • Organizational/Company • Allows sensitive content to be shared internally • Public facing • Collaboration with other organizational accounts

  5. Federating portal and AGOL -VS-

  6. ArcGIS Online – logging in https://crawfordcountypa.maps.arcgis.com or https://www.arcgis.com

  7. ArcGIS Online - anatomy

  8. Data – the core! • Many items can be stored/used in ArcGIS Online • Here are some of the most popular: • Feature layers (point/line/polygon) • 2D or 3D data • Map Image layers • Imagery/scanned images • Tables (csv, excel, etc.)

  9. web mapsthe base of your maps/apps/tools The web map is where it all starts! Adding content (yours or other publicly shared content) is how to get started.

  10. web mapsbecoming web applications Once your layers are added and configured, save your map, then share it.

  11. Web applicationsTools and polish for your map Web applications are designed to empower GIS and non-GIS centric users alike! As of this presentation there are over 30 prebuilt web applications for all types of engagement. Additionally, there is the WebAppBuilder and the Operations Dashboard

  12. Web AppBuilder The Web AppBuilder is the most customizable app, there are many themes, tools, and settings available to you. Over 50 widgets (tools)!

  13. Web apps empower their users! Once your application(s) are built, can you start to share them out to your end user(s). They can be shared in various ways… • URL (web address) • QR Codes • Share within ArcGIS Online group • Share as a link on/embed into website • Share a group (with multiple apps within it)/Embed group into website

  14. Applications can serve many purposes! Applications specifically built for a focused audience

  15. Collecting information from the public Crowdsourcing information, GIS data from the public!

  16. Survey123 – Address requests Allows anyone to submit geocentric information, by simply answering a few questions.

  17. Survey123 – Address requests Allows anyone to submit geocentric information, by simply answering a few questions.

  18. Linking the offices – one stop shop! Providing links to external sources provides a 1-stop shop for your end user.

  19. Collaboration Sharing between organizational accounts – and/or – groups of users

  20. Open Data Sharing data with…everyone!

  21. Keeping it all running GIS is an ecosystem, you must maintain it • Any data that is kept in GIS must be either upkept and current, or tagged as project data (metadata is so important) • If your web environment is separate from your working data (it should be), updates must be run periodically • Staff must be trained properly • Software must be kept current • If GIS data is publicly facing, it gets MANY critiques! • Some information may not be public • double check before you release it!

  22. Benefits a-Plenty Serving our GIS data to the public has many benefits • Many sets of eyes on the data • Reduced phone/foot traffic requesting information • More productive staff • Ease of use for citizens • Reduction of operating costs • Better decisions based on data • More engaged customers/citizens • Data available to many more individuals than before • New ways to visualize your information
