ArcGIS Online is a cloud-based platform for creating and sharing maps, applications, and geographic data. It allows users to create web maps using various data sources, make maps from Excel data, access ready-to-use basemaps and services, publish hosted services, collaborate and share content, access maps on mobile devices, and customize ArcGIS Online through subscription plans. Administrators can manage users and the ArcGIS Online organization.

- 1. ArcGIS SM Online The Mapping Platform for Your Organization
- 2. 2 Create Web Maps ArcGIS Online includes everything you need to make web maps. Through the built-in map viewer, you can access a gallery of basemaps to get you started and tools for adding your own data or layers. You can easily add shapefiles, spreadsheet data, KML files, OGC WMS services, and GPS files and quickly create mashups with data and maps shared by others. ArcGIS Online is a collaborative, cloud-based platform for making and sharing maps, applications, and other geographic data and content. Through ArcGIS SM Online, organizations get access to Esri’s secure cloud, where users can manage, create, store, and access hosted web services. And because ArcGIS Online is part of the ArcGIS® system, it’s completely integrated with ArcGIS for Desktop and ArcGIS for Server and thus extends the work of GIS professionals to the entire organization.
- 3. 3 Make Maps with Your Excel Data Create interactive maps of your spreadsheet data with the Esri® Maps for Office add-in. Make color-coded, point, clustered point, and heat maps directly in Microsoft® Excel® , then share them in ArcGIS Online so others in your organization can access and use them.
- 4. 4 Access Ready-to-Use Content When you subscribe to ArcGIS Online, your organization gets access to ready-to-use, high-quality basemaps (imagery, topographic, and streets), demographic maps, and image services, as well as geoservices such as geocoding and routing. These basemaps and geoservices are delivered as a web service and can be used by anyone in the organization to make maps and apps. Esri updates the basemaps on a regular basis with content from commercial data providers, and authoritative content from the user community around the world contributed through the Esri Community Maps Program. Create Hosted Services With ArcGIS Online, it’s easy to publish maps and data as a web service. This frees up your internal resources, since these web services are hosted in Esri’s cloud and scale dynamically as demand goes up or down. You can add these services to web, desktop, and mobile applications and allow others to use them as well. GIS professionals can publish these services directly from ArcGIS for Desktop without needing to install their own server, and share them with knowledge workers inside their organizations, who can add map or geoprocessing web services to their own maps and apps.
- 5. 5 Collaborate and Share Enable interaction with your organizational data by sharing content related to a common activity. You can set up groups that are private and by invitation only, or public groups that are open to everyone. You can also share maps by embedding them in web pages, on blogs, in web applications, and through social media. ArcGIS Online includes a number of ready-to-use and configurable web application templates with different layouts that you can choose from. With just a few steps and no programming, you can publish a web application that features a dynamic map that anyone can access through a browser. Go Mobile Access maps from anywhere, on any device with the free, downloadable ArcGIS App for Smartphones and Tablets. Browse map galleries, navigate maps, collect and report data, and perform GIS analysis using the app or, alternatively, via the browser on your mobile device.
- 6. 6 Security ArcGIS Online gives you control over how you share your maps, apps, and data. You decide whether to share items—publicly, with everyone in your organization, or with only specific groups—or keep them private. Esri’s security strategy is based on an industry-standard, defense-in-depth approach that provides security controls at every level, for every user. Organizations retain ownership of intellectual property rights for data they publish, and control when and what to delete. Customize ArcGIS Online Customize the ArcGIS Online home page to fit the branding and operational needs of your organization. For example, you can add your logo and banner, choose what content to feature on the home page and gallery, and set a basemap and extent default for the map viewer. In addition, you can set the preferred language and region for ArcGIS Online. The language settings determine how the interface, time, date, and numerical values appear. More than 20 languages are supported, including Arabic, Chinese (simplified Han), Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, and Spanish. The region setting lets you choose a specific geographic region for the map on your home page, the content in your gallery, and the default map and extent in the map viewer. Regional content is available for more than 60 countries, including Argentina, Bulgaria, Colombia, Denmark, Estonia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Kenya, the Netherlands, Peru, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and Thailand.
