Hello everyone,
In case you were not aware, Esri will be pushing an update to ArcGIS Online (AGOL) on March 30. The update will start at 5 PM (PDT) and end around midnight (PDT). So you and your organization might experience some downtime as the update is implemented.
What can you expect to be included in this update:
- A new map viewer. That warning you have been getting from time to time about a beta viewer being available is going away because the beta viewer is becoming the Map Viewer in AGOL. The current Map Viewer will still be available
as Map Viewer Classic. The new Map Viewer will include the following improvements:
- Addition of a new sketch layer which allows you to draw features and place stamps on your map.
- Improved switching between layers method when symbolizing or configuring pop-ups.
- Ability to use full-screen mode
- Searching, adding, and styling map image layers.
- New Dashboards built on JavaScript 4.x API. Previous versions of dashboards will still be available as ArcGIS Dashboards Classic.
- Increased support for Arcade in dashboards for things such as list and indicator elements, selection-based display, and data expressions.
- Improved dashboard performance
- ArcGIS Notebooks to support Scheduling
While this AGOL update does include many improvements, you do not have the choice to not update. Esri will be implementing this update on March 30 whether you want it or not. This is one of the benefits and cons of the Software as a Service cloud model.
So make sure you plan accordingly.
