ArcGIS Online integrates with so many web apps as well as the ArcGIS Desktop package that it can become a daunting task to set up and manage it all. This book has written explanations and hands-on exercises for you to learn and practice - things like setting up groups and user accounts, creating data from existing feature classes, designing Survey 123 and QuickConnect apps, geocoding tables into hosted feature layers, and much more. The final two chapters cover using Web AppBuilder and the Operations Dashboard builder to create interesting and informative web displays of your data.The focus of the book is Disaster Response and all of the exercises carry this common theme, but the techniques can certainly be applied to any other discipline. The components of ArcGIS Online, whether it be Survey 123 or Operations Dashboards, function the same way regardless of the data you feed into it. The book comes with a set of data to download to help get you through the exercises, and also incorporates data sets like the Federal HIFLD data and the Living Atlas of the World data - all of which falls seamlessly into place in all of the ArcGIS Online components. The name of the game in disasters is getting good data products built quickly, and knowing the insider tips and tricks will help with that goal. This book will certainly get you well on your way to becoming an indispensable part of any EOC or disaster response.
