Chapter 8. Introduction to ArcGIS Online

In this chapter, we will discuss the use of ArcGIS Online to create web maps and share geospatial data. ArcGIS Online, created by Esri, is built to easily integrate web mapping into any production ArcGIS environment. By adding the ability to publish data to the cloud directly from an MXD, Esri has made it easy to share analysis results with the public or with a specific group of users.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

The basics of ArcGIS Online
Signing up for an ArcGIS online account
Feature services and layers
Publishing data from an MXD
