Potential Maps • Goals • Define Audience • How will user view/interact with GIS Data? • Define Themes when creating Service Features • Start with ArcGIS Desktop • Themes • Community Boundary • Planning/Zoning • Recreation/Natural Areas • Trash and Snow Routes
Recreation/Natural Areas Service Feature Creation Steps • ArcGIS Desktop • Create General Layout by • Setting Scale Dependencies • Apply symbology • Only include data for specific theme and do not include base map layers. • Run Data through the Analyze Tool and Share as a Service • Update according to “Errors” and “Warnings” • Certain symbols are only stored on ArcGIS Online, the full suite of ArcGIS symbols is currently not available.
Analyze Map Tool (Two Options) • Goals • Validates data • Confirms symbology
Recreation Areas Pre Service Feature Validation Layout Recreation Areas Post Service Feature Validation Layout
