Time-enabled data is not working

Question

I successfully imported a shapefile that uses the time slider in ArcGIS Desktop with no problem. However, when I bring that same data into Explorer online, the time slider option does not show up.  Any suggestions on what I need to do to make this work?

My data is on a GIS Server, but I haven't figured out how to make it work yet

If you're having problems getting a time-enabled service published, this is a nice blog post that takes you through some steps in ArcMap:
http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/arcgisserver/archive/2011/07/20/Visualizing-time_2D00_aware-data-in-a-web-map.aspx

If you publish the map with the time-enabled layer, then I think the service should be time-enabled, according to the help at http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisserver/10.0/help/arcgis_server_dotnet_help/index.html#/Serving_time_aware_layers/009300000050000000/ (check by looking at the rest endpoint for the Time Info section as described in the blog post) - it is this bit that's not working for you?

Melissa, is it your data? This is the help location for time-aware layers for ArcGIS Server.  If it's not yours, you might want to contact the organization hosting the data and see if they can modify it.

Thanks, Geoff.

My data is on a GIS Server, but I haven't figured out how to make it work yet 😞   Thanks again for your time!
