Remove Duplicate Labels on WebMap (& More)

KamillePreto

I really need some assistance with some issues I'm having with AGOL. I'll list them out to make it easier.

I have created a map in ArcGIS Pro & uploaded it to AGOL.

1. When I do this, it removes my "remove duplicate labels" setting on the roads and there are labels everywhere. Is there still not a way to get rid of this issue without using basemap labels? I am using layers where you cannot see the basemap too great and need the roads on top.

2. When I do this, my highway shields disappear for my labels and there are just route numbers everywhere with no shields/symbols. Is there a way to fix this?

3. I have two Neighborhoods layers - same outlines, but 1 has the Neighborhood name labeled and the 2nd one has the tract number labeled. However, when they are both on, it only allows one label and not both. Is there a way to fix this?

Really hoping somebody can give me some direction, I'm at a loss. Thank you in advance.

Adam,

I really appreciate you looking into all of this, it has been very helpful for somebody who hasn't done these type of things on AGOL before.

I just tested out the trick you mentioned by adding the layer as a reference layer and it works beautifully!

I will attach a screenshot of the map when it is complete, or the link to it.

Thanks again,

Hi Adam,

I did everything you recommended in your first comment with success, so I really appreciate your help!

However, now the issue that I'm experiencing is that one of my layers I have (Neighborhoods) is a Feature layer, not a Tile Layer and needs to be underneath all of the other layers to show properly. But I am unable to move Tile Layers above the regular layer.

See image below.

You can see Rt. 30 is underneath of the colored neighborhood polygons and needs to be on top to be clear and a more prominent layer. Would you recommend that I just make all of the layers Tile Layers so that I can move them into whatever order I need to? Before I did this, I was not aware you couldn't move Tile Layers on top of Feature Layers.

Advice is appreciated.

Kami,

Shields will not be retained with the default labeling for Feature layers in ArcGIS online. labels are still very basic.

A Hosted Tile layer will support the shields and any scale visibility you set in desktop.

As a rule of thumb when considering Tiles or Features,

- Use Tiles to deliver cartographically rich map.

- Use Features to deliver data and attributes.

If it helps, I can add more technical explanation, that labels and their placement require a good deal of processing power that are suited to desktop environments, In a web browser however the same types of processing would slow down the webpage, thus we see fairly basic labeling of features. Now with Tiles, its essentially a collection of lightweight image files. All the heavy lifting used to create a detailed map is performed ahead of time, and the results saved at tile images. So the browsers jod is much simpler, Just request and display the image tiles for this area.

On a side note: Tile layers may appear to be only Static, but they can be configured to display popups from existing feature layers.

Hi Adam,

Thank you for your response. I will try these out.

Some follow up questions: When you publish as a hosted feature layer, will that retain the highway shield labels as well? Also, will I have the ability to choose the level that they are visible at?

Thank you again, I appreciate your help.

Hello Kamille,

I ran into this same issue when publishing the Atlanta street data from Geocoding sample in ArcTutor. This dataset look to be very similar to yours, where each street segment is its very own feature.

ArcGIS online has less powerful labeling options compared to ArcGIS desktop. I think you could resolve this issue a couple different ways.

1) Run a dissolve on the streets layer to be labeled, this will provide less features to label in ArcGIS online.

2) Publish the layer as a Hosted Tile layer, when the tiles are generated this way they will preserve the labels as placed in ArcGIS Desktop.

Because the tile methodology will be fast and preserve the cartographic quality we achieved using the desktop software its a good option for creating basemap or contextual layers .

Hope this helps!
