when appending new data (points) in AGOL, the new points dont show up in the map

Question

Hi,

I have appended/added new data to my existing feature layer. In this case I have a feature layer with points and I have added new data (excel) via the append button, with x and y location (points).

But these new points wont show up in the map.

They are clearly in the table but not visible in the map.

Anyone know what to do ?

I don't think you can add the data from a table and creating the point all at once. You are asking AGOL to look at numbers and understand they are lat, long, and also create a new point all at once. I would recommend doing this in multiple steps. Starting with your data, it looks as though that might be decimal degrees? You might have to convert that to Lat Long in order for Arc to read it. Secondly using the 'Display XY' feature on your table, from there you can append the data is creates into your shapefile.

Hi Jamil,

Thanks for the response on this. I agree with you, I think updating the layer from Pro would be a requirement here as the spreadsheet coordinates are not in Lat/Long. Glad you found a solution to this!

Hi Peter,

The coordinate system is RD NEW. I set it to RD NEW in Arcgis Pro and then I uploaded it. I have found maybe a better solution: Update the layer from Arcgis Online in Arcgis Pro.
