Pouvez-vous éditer et gérer une carte hébergée sur Arcgis Online depuis Arcgis Pro ?

Question

<\/HEAD>Je travaille pour un petit service municipal d'électricité, notre projet actuel consiste à transformer d'anciennes cartes du réseau électrique en une carte utile pour ArcGIS Online. Actuellement, nous avons une carte approximative hébergée sur Online afin que les linemen puissent utiliser Collector sur le terrain pour mettre à jour la carte et obtenir des informations sur les poteaux, transformateurs, etc. Est-il possible d'éditer et de gérer cette carte en utilisant ArcGIS Pro en même temps sans avoir constamment à créer de nouvelles cartes et à les publier par-dessus les anciennes ? J'ai besoin de pouvoir effectuer des modifications à grande échelle sur les couches dans Pro, étant donné que la carte est encore à ses débuts, tout en devant aussi pouvoir intégrer en temps réel les modifications effectuées sur le terrain.<\/P><\/BODY><\/HTML>

The data value changes is easy, no big deal. You can do that in Pro with very little effect on the end users.

As for the map changes, I get it. I had to make massive changes to several maps because we changed the underlying schema design in a big way to improve analyzing the data later on. Good luck!

Thank you for the timely Response. Unfortunately, my definition of "edit" is one of being able to make wide-scale data value changes and large scale map changes. It seems like the best method moving forward is to coordinate with the guys in the field to let them know not to modify or the map, so it can be updated. Thank you for all of the help this clears up a lot of the confusion I've been dealing with.

When you say "edit", do you mean the data values, the schema design, or the map itself?

If it's the data values, then the answer is yes. You need to import the web map containing the data stored up in AGOL into Pro, and edit it like you would any other dataset. Keep in mind any edits you make are instantly saved with no options to "undo".

If it's the schema design, the answer is "yes, but only small schema changes". Small schema design changes (deleting a field, adding a field), then you need to coordinate with your field workers to check in their edits (if they are taking data offline), let them know that the service will be unavailable for a period of time (30 minutes?). Unshare the map and HFL/VL.

In Pro, import the map from AGOL, and add/delete fields as needed, save your changes to the fields. Edit data if you need to. Field additions will require you update the AGOL map accordingly, like turn on the new field in your pop-ups if you want users to see them. Field deletions will also require you to modify the AGOL map layer properties accordingly.

None of this requires you overwrite anything. Once your changes are completed, just reshare the map/HFL with you users and send them a message telling them they are good to go.

However, if you are doing massive changes to schema design, like creating relationship classes with layers, etc., then designing a new set up in Pro, loading old data into the new schema, and overwriting the old HFL might end up being easier. Some significant schema changes can make AGOL maps bug out, especially anything that messes with schema that feature templates depend on.

Finally, if you need to edit the map design (layer order, labeling, symbology, etc.) then just do it in AGOL. Changes made to maps you import from AGOL into Pro don't effect the AGOL map you imported from.

TL;DR: YES: data edits, small schema changes. NO: big schema changes, map configurations.
