In-Class Exercise 12 [Web GIS]

In this exercise we'll be using the GISC account and ArcGIS Pro desktop application which is ESRI's improved way of interfacing with their web GIS environment. 

I. Publishing a web map from ArcGIS Pro

A. Create or Arrange files in Desktop software

Open Project “UCB Campus” in ArcGIS Pro using your account

In ArcGIS Pro go to Portal and 128mGeospatial. Look for UCBcampus package.

Note that the default Base Map doesn't have any campus buildings. We actually have shapefiles for campus dating to about 2005 so we can view those (Buildings shapefile).

Modify the Map Name from "Campus" to "[YOUR NAME] Campus" so we don't overlap online.

Turn on Photos layer and select in Contents

Modify Appearance and labeling.

               Appearance tab. Out Beyond: 24,000 (reduces clutter).Ex12_1.png

               Label tab: out beyond: 10,000Ex12_2.png

Look at Attribute Table for Photos

               Note that URL is available as “URL_1” field.Ex12_3.png

Share > Web Map…

               There is Online help Links to an external site.

               Fill in Name and Item Description

               Sharing options: My Content, Groups: 128m [Don’t check UC Berkeley GISC – others on campus]Ex12_4.png

               Click Content tab and view the layers that are being included

               Right Click Web Feature LayerEx12_5.png

After Analyze a Configuration tab appears.

               Right click Configuration. We are using Web Feature Layers (not Web Tile layers).Ex12_6.png

               Click “Publish” and provide a Title (again include your name) and Save in Folder: 128m

B. Check online

Go to cal-gisc.maps.arcgis.com Links to an external site.

               Sign in

               Go to My Content

               Click on the type described as “Web Map”

               Open > Open in Map Viewer >

Fix Photos configure pop

               Click on a blue circle building icon

               Note the contents aren’t clear. Why is ObjectID showing?Ex12_7.png

Click “More Info”. This is a link to photos. Let’s make it clear

In Contents > Photos layer drop down > Configure Pop-upEx12_8.png

                              Click Configure Attributes

                              Uncheck Display on Object ID

                              Change Field Alias from URL_1 to See Photos

                              Click BldgName alias and change to “Building” and click Up Arrow to change sort order.Ex12_9.png

                              Click “Save Pop-Up” on the left before proceeding. Check result.

Let’s change the Basemap to OpenStreetMapEx12_10.png

               Buildings are included in on OSM.

               Set our building symbology to transparent to compare.Ex12_11.png

Check new construction

(Mem Stadium

Let’s add another reference layer

               Add > Browse ESRI Map Layers…

               Categories > Historical Maps >

Select: USA Historical Topo Maps 1:24000 and Add Layer to Map, As LayerEx12_12.png

               [you could add any Tile as a baseMap but this means you can’t turn it on/off]

 

II. Summarizing Data

               Adjacent City Trees is from the City of Berkeley and there is data on the height of trees. I subset this 400Mb shapefile to only within 1 block of campus and deleted extraneous fields.

Let’s summarize height by species in Adjacent Zones polygons

Right click AdjacentTrees > Drop Down > Perform AnalysisEx12_13.png

               Aggregate Points… click the ‘i’ for an explanationEx12_14.png

               Choose Area: Adajcent Zones

               Add Statistic: HeightFt and Average

               Add Statistic: HeightFt and Min

               Add Statistic: HeightFt and Max

Choose Field to Group: Common_NamEx12_15.png
Perform Analysis.

Check results.

Look at other analyses you can perform. What is missing?

Print your Resulting Map to PDF and send to bCourses

Part III - Create Data for use in Collector

Create Point, Line, and Polygon features to upload to ArcGIS Online for field mapping in Collector

Back in ArcGIS Pro 

View > Project > Project Pane

Right Click Databases > Create new File GDBEx12_16.png

Ex12_17.png

Call it ArchMapping

Right click GDB > Design > DomainsEx12_18.png

Click a new line > 

               Create Domain

         Domain:FeatType, Coded Value

Codes: Code/Value

Lithic, Ceramic, Structure, SiteEx12_19.png

Domain: Density with Codes: Low, Med, HighEx12_20.png

                              Save, close Domains

Right Click GDB > New Feature Class

Arch_p (point), Coordinate System: NAD 1983 UTM10 North

Back in Contents Pane

Right click Arch_p > Design > Fields

Create Field: ArchID

Ftype: Text, Domain: 

                              Surveyor:

                              DateTime:

                              Photo:BLOB

                              Save

Return to the Project pane

Right-click ArchMapping GDB

New Feature Class: Arch_a (polygon), 

Under Template Feature Class choose Arch_p 

All the fields and their attribute domain definitions should be available in Arch_a as well.

Coordinate System: choose Arch_p and it'll match that feature

 

Run

Check the results.

Right click Arch_p > Share as Web Layer

Summary, Tags "test, arch"

Configuration Tab: Enable all three

Analyze, Publish
