New Dashboard and Collector Applications Just Released in ArcGIS Online

Operations Dashboard and Collector for ArcGIS Released

by Bern Szukalski on January 16, 2013

·          291 337 817

Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS and Collector for ArcGIS have been released, and are now available for use by organizations with an ArcGIS Online subscription. Operations Dashboard and Collector can be used together, or separately, depending on your needs.

Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS is now available for download from the Resource Center.

Collector for ArcGIS is now available for download from Apple’s App Store and Google Play.

Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS

Operations Dashboard provides a common operating picture for monitoring events. Operations Dashboard integrates maps and a variety of data sources to create comprehensive operational views that can include charts, lists, gauges, and indicators which update automatically as underlying data changes.

You can build operational views for use on either multiple monitors or single-display devices, such as tablets. Multiple views can be defined to meet the needs of people focusing on different aspects of the operation, and users can coordinate and collaborate using built-in text messaging and map markup. These operational views are stored as items in ArcGIS Online and can be shared with your organization.

For more information see:

§         What is Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS?

Collector for ArcGIS

Designed with field crews in mind, Collector is used to capture and update both tabular and spatial information via smartphones using the built-in GPS capabilities of the device, or by tapping on the map. Data captured using Collector can be displayed in the Operations Dashboard.

In addition, field crews can plan routes and get directions to work locations, use data-driven forms to improve data input quality, capture photos and videos of assets, and seamlessly integrate information back into the organization’s GIS. Collector can also be configured to use various tools that help tailor the data collection workflow to the organization’s business needs.

Esri Updates Terms of Use on (Free) Personal

 Accounts for ArcGIS Online

 Notice: ESRI Terms of Use Update

What's changing?

We are changing the name from ArcGIS Online Personal Account to ArcGIS Online Public Account. The ArcGIS Online Public Account will continue to be available at no cost and, as such, is licensed for personal, noncommercial use only.

 

Under the updated Terms of Use, ArcGIS Online Public Account holders can:

• no longer share items privately or create private groups
• continue creating public groups and sharing items publicly, or keep all items private for their own viewing
• keep private groups and private items if a personal account was created before November 30

(Note: We will not make any existing private groups and associated items public.)

 

If you want to continue to create private groups so you can share items privately, you can purchase an annual ArcGIS Online subscription, which also gives you access to all ArcGIS Online features and services.

So, in short:

• a name change to the account type to Public Account 
• no private items or private groups from here on
• existing private items and groups will stay that way if created before November 30

Why?

• The name change of the account to Public Account makes it clear all new additions are public or for the account owner's use. 
• The private groups and items are now only available in the subscription version of ArcGIS Online. Esri is tweaking the "free" part of the "freemium" part of the service. 
• Esri is respecting its users by not turning items and groups that were private to public.
