Sharing to a “portal”
• “portal” → Central destination for all of your geospatial assets
in Web GIS
- ArcGIS Online organization and/or Portal for ArcGIS
• Within your portal, you can own content:
- Web maps (2D data)
- Web scenes (3D data)
- Web layers
- Many different types

How Web maps, Layers, and Services Work Together
• Web map (2D) or Web scene (3D)
- Collection of web layers and mapping
functionality
• Web Layer
- portal content that exposes data
- References a service and can configure attribute pop-ups,symbology, etc.
• Web Service
- Exposes a URL for web clients to access data
- Data can be copied to the server or referenced from a shared
location or enterprise geodatabaseservice

Using ArcGIS Pro
Sharing Services
ArcGIS Pro – Sharing User Experience
1. Sign into a portal
2. Share from:
i. The ribbon to share your entire map
ii. The context menu to share a selection
of layers
3. Analyze your data for potential
issues
4. Click Share/Publish

ArcGIS Pro – Controlling Layer Grouping
Layer Context Menu (rt click on layer(s))
• Select a group of layers and share
them using the context (rt click) menu
• Select one layer and share it
Share Layer Button on Ribbon
• No control over which layer, groups all
layer in current map

Sharing Web maps
• Preset configurations make one click sharing of
new web layers easy and accessible
• Map level settings, such as bookmarks, are
automatically maintained
• For more control, new web layers can be split
and configured individually or shared
beforehand

Marking Authoritative
Content
Options for Publishing Authoritative Content
• Dedicated publicly-facing publishing account
• Action by Organization Administrator
1. Request that the organization be verified by Esri
2. Mark their organization's best content as "Authoritative"
Publish from a Dedicated Public Account for your Organization
• Presents the organization in a
professional way
• Common practice among many
cities and county agencies
• Requires an additional named user account and lots of coordination
within the organization
