Change is all around us – at home, at work, in our communities, across our nations, on our earth. We often talk about how GIS is changing the world, but the world is also changing GIS. How we use GIS, how we interact with GIS, and how GIS interacts with the world are all changing. Some of the change is technology-driven, but the biggest driver of change is you – the GIS user. The challenges you deal with and how you want or need to deal with them are changing GIS. In this talk, I share how GIS is changing in response to our world and the requirements of you – its users.
Can you confidently find your next conference session, the nearest exit, or a restroom? Come learn about options for navigating the venue. Sorry, no cheese… Have a map instead!
We’ll get familiar with the venue while evaluating strengths, weaknesses, and trade-offs of this year’s conference maps and apps. Consider it a case study for technology selection, indoor reality capture, oriented imagery, and challenges in human wayfinding.
Bring your critical eye and thinking cap! Your questions and feedback will help improve next year’s experience.
Using ArcGIS Experience Builder, GIS-related web applications can be created by arranging and configuring components known as widgets. Core capabilities are provided by out-of-the-box widgets, while custom widgets can be added to allow for workflows and operations that may not otherwise be accommodated. In this session, the value of custom widgets will be discussed and the process of creating widgets will be explained. A range of audience interests will be served, from offering a general appreciation of the possibilities through to guidance for those who may wish to develop widgets themselves.
Many people are familiar with using Arcade in ArcGIS online for visual enhancement but it can also be used in Dashboards. In Dashboards Arcade can be used to create visual formatting and styling elements for a more user friendly and effective format. It can also be used for calculating fields and statistics from data in order to display better fitted information to your uses. This presentation will show examples of how this has been accomplished and show ways that it can be incorporated into many applications.
