ArcGIS Open Data - Best Practices

This document provides tips and best practices for configuring ArcGIS Open Data services and sites. Key recommendations include: - Preparing data by adding attribute aliases and hiding unnecessary fields. - Configuring services with a max record count under 5,000, enabling WMS/WFS/WCS where applicable, and organizing datasets into multiple services with no more than 20 datasets each. - Structuring the ArcGIS Online organization with appropriate user roles, staging groups, and registering individual layers to control metadata. - Customizing the site design through header CSS, placing categories and groups on homepage, and adding contact information.
