On your own
Experiment with symbolizing the other layers. Pay attention to how symbol size and map scale relate to each other and how they appear on the map.
Next, you will customize this map further by configuring descriptive information about features in map pop-up windows.
Configure map pop-up windows
1 Turn off all layers except Accidents 2014, and zoom in to see individual accidents and street names.
2 Click any accident location on the map to view its pop-up window.The default pop-up configuration shows an unformatted list of fields and values sourced from the layer’s attributes. Although having all this information can be useful, it is unnecessary to show all of it for display purposes. You will adjust which attribute fields are displayed so that map users can more easily see the type of accident that occurred.
3 Close the pop-up window. Under the Accidents 2014 layer, click the More Options button, and click Configure Pop-up.You will set a more suitable name for the pop-up title.
4 In the Pop-up Title box, type Accident Details. In the Pop-up Contents section, a list box contains all the field attributes that are displayed in the pop-up window. It is not necessary to display all of them, so you will configure the pop-up window to display only the information that is relevant.
5 Under the list box of attributes, click Configure Attributes. The Configure Attributes window allows you to adjust field visibility and the field alias as well as provide a way to move the order of fields.
6 In the Display column, clear all the check boxes (click the top display check box twice to select all and then clear all).
7 Scroll down the list and select the Display check box for {LOCATION_4}. Rename the field alias to LOCATION.
8 Select the Display check box for {HARMFUL_EV}, and rename its field alias to INVOLVES. Do the same for {DATE_OF_CR}, and rename it to DATE.
9 Click OK to close the Configure Attributes window.
10 Click an accident point on the map to see its new pop-up window.The pop-up window is now much more reader-friendly. In this dataset, a code is used to indicate a pedestrian (09) or a bicycle (10). Pop-up windows can also contain images and charts.
11 Close the pop-up window.
Save a map
As an organizational account user, you can save the map to your own workspace. By default, maps that you make in Map Viewer are private (only you can see them). You will save your map and add it to your own content.
TIP You are allowed to save a copy of any map that you work on unless the original map author has enabled Save As protection. You cannot update any existing layers that belong to the original map author. However, you can save any changes you make to the map, which then only you can see.
1 Click the Save button, and then click Save As.
2 In the Save Map window, change the title to City of Wilmington Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents 2011 to 2014.
3 Add several tags: pedestrian, accidents, and City of Wilmington.
4 For Summary, type A map of pedestrian and bicycle accidents in the City of Wilmington.
5 Click Save Map. You have saved your first ArcGIS Online map. All saved maps appear in My Content and are accessible at any time. Even though the original map was shared with everyone, the map you worked on is considered private and is not shared with anyone in the organization, a group, or the public. You do not need to share this map right now. However, you will learn how to share maps and other content throughout this book because this process is an essential part of the ArcGIS platform.On your ownGo to My Content and find your own map.
Summary
This chapter introduced you to some background information about what GIS is and how the ArcGIS platform is structured. You started with opening a public map, one that everyone has access to, to see how easy it is to view data and basemaps. You learned how to sign in to an organizational account and open a map. You learned how to configure symbology and pop-up windows to make the data layers and their attributes more usable. You then learned how to save the map to your own organizational account.
You should be getting comfortable using ArcGIS Online. You will use it throughout the book, in which you will learn how to share layers, export content to your organizational account, and open maps in ArcGIS Pro. In chapter 2, you will begin using ArcGIS Pro.
