Import shapefile problem

AllenRisley

Hello,

I have a shapefile I would like to import into Business Analyst/Community Analyst to use as part of a Smart Map Search. I go through the steps of importing a shapefile, but then I get a warning/error message that says that the shapefile has more than 100 records so only the first 100 will be imported. Not great, but I decide to proceed in order to see what I get.

When I click on the "OK" button, nothing happens.

That's not OK. Any idea what is happening?

Allen,

Take a look at this article. There are some suggestions on what to try with an error like this:

Problem: Receiving errors when uploading a shapefile to ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Explorer Online, Business Analyst Online,…

Here's a screenshot of the error message:

According to that article, here are the restrictions for shapefiles for Business Analyst:

a. A maximum of 100 records and a file size limit of 3 MB.
b. Only point and polygon geometry (no lines and no multi-part geometry) can be added.
c. Compression formats other than a .zip archive are not supported

The warning message is stating that there are more than 100 records so it will import the first 100. So I try clicking on the OK button to continue and nothing happens. Shouldn't something happen when I click on the OK button?

Allen,

Is your shapefile larger than 3 MB?

Does your shapefile contain just points or just polygons? Or are there lines/multi-parts in there?

Are you using a zip file for your shapefile?

Just to check, can you load your zipped up shapefile into regular ArcGIS Online?

You should be able to load it there. If you are seeing problems there, then there might be bigger problems that need to be worked out:
