Leveraging ArcGIS Online For Your Organization
Lots of organizations are sharing maps and apps on ArcGIS Online. Many are looking to create a better ArcGIS Online presence, while others are looking to leverage what they’ve shared on ArcGIS Online within their own websites. Let’s take a look at a couple of ways you can accomplish this.
We’ll also be announcing additional opportunities and capabilities for organizational use and customization of ArcGIS Online at the upcoming 2011 Esri International User Conference in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned for more information.
ArcGIS Online groups can be used to create an online presence for an organization. Here’s an example from the European Environment Agency. The group features the EEA logo for branding, has a concise summary description about the group, and when you open the group details contains lots more information and links to websites and other resources.
Another way an organization can leverage ArcGIS Online is by embedding maps within their own website or blogs. Here’s an example of an embedded ArcGIS Online map in a conference website.
Individual maps can also be leveraged and placed within a page. Right click on a thumbnail in the item details or gallery to get the URL to its stored location on ArcGIS Online (using Chrome, this is different for other browsers) and use the link to add it to your Web page. Then add the link to open the map from ArcGIS Online to the thumbnail.
Here’s an example below that uses the soils map thumbnail from the ArcGIS.com gallery and links to open the soils map in the ArcGIS.com map viewer:
Finally, here’s a really great example of leveraging ArcGIS Online to create a custom mapping portal. The site is part of the geospatial data clearinghouse for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The KyGovMaps site includes links to maps, applications, and iPhone and iPad apps, and is a great example of how you can leverage the ArcGIS Online platform for storing maps and using free viewers to provide broader access to your geographic information.
The site was based upon the govmaps.org template which Esri showcased at the Federal User Conference earlier this year.
So there are lots of options to leverage ArcGIS Online for your organization, and we’ll be announcing more options and capabilities for organizational use and customization of ArcGIS Online at the upcoming 2011 Esri International User Conference.
