Share Explorer Markups

YuyingLi — Tue, 26 Sep 2017 17:54:32 GMT

Hello,

we are exploring Explorer for ArcGIS. I am interested in how to sharing the markups that field crew put on the map? Any requirements when prepare the map?

Thanks for your question. When you work with markup in Explorer, it is saved as a layer on your device (it isn't associated with a particular map). As such, there are no restrictions on making maps for use with markup. You can share it across maps on a single device by viewing that layer with different maps open. To share it with other users, you have a few choices:

As an image - this creates a screen capture that you can email, message, or share as you would any image.
As markup, directly to another device or user - this sends the markup as a layer directly to another Explorer user, who can then open the layer and see it in the app on their device. They can even add to and update the markup, although the changes are only on their device, and not seen by the sender. This can be a good way to share markup from one mobile worker to another.
As a markup item, through your organization - this creates an item in your ArcGIS organization and allows you to share it the way you do maps and other items in your organization. This markup item can then be used (although not edited) outside of Explorer (for example, in ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, or ArcGIS Enterprise).

Thanks Kylie for your quick response. It's great to know all these different choices. So just follow up, how do I share as a markup item in my organization or share it to another device or user?

I was not able to locate any specific documentation and your response will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Yuying

While you are editing the markup, there is a Share button (the box with an arrow). Tap that and you'll see the sharing options.

We are adding documentation on this, so that part will improve

Hi Kylie,

Thanks….when I click the “Share Button” (the box with arrows ) next to the Pen tool, nothing popped up. I made sure I signed in ArcGIS online…anything I am missing?

Thanks,

I should have been more clear (I was looking at an iPad and forgot about that button you are seeing) -- that button lets you pan the map when using a phone. The box with an arrow that I meant to point out is the bottom right corner on an iPhone, and is a standard icon on iOS.

Hi Kylie,

Thanks! I tried…but didn’t have the iPhone share bottom popped up –

So here are my steps –

1. Add markup

2. Select the markup

3. The options are: delete, make it arrow line or not, change the colors.

See my screenshot – How do I do to show the share button?

Thanks,

Now I see where you are. You don't want to have a particular piece of markup selected as it is shared as a layer. Close the info about "Test" -- the tools on the bottom toolbar will change. You'll see "Clear All, +, Share" where share is an icon.

Nice…sorry…not sure I would miss that…I was able to share to the ArcGIS online as items. Looks like they are feature layers too…but can I download them?

Thanks,

What do you mean by download them?

Re: Share Explorer Markups

YuyingLi — Tue, 26 Sep 2017 22:33:30 GMT

I could see the markups on ArcGIS online…is there any way I could download the features for local use?

Offline use where? In Explorer? Collector? ArcGIS Pro?

Re: Share Explorer Markups

YuyingLi — Tue, 26 Sep 2017 22:37:42 GMT

Say in ArcGIS Pro desktop?

Once it is saved to arcgis online you can add it to pro

To get the layer to desktop you will have to export the layer in pro.

I am in the Explorer for ArcGIS app for IPAD - logged into my ArcGIS online account and when I click on the Share button - I do not get the ArcGIS Online share option. Any ideas?

Hey Darryl Klassen‌,

What level is your user? You will need to be level 2 with the ability to create items in order for this option to appear.

Hi Joel,

I am a level 2 and administrator of our account.

Hey dklassen@kamloops.ca‌,

Can you send me a screenshot of the options you're seeing? I just ran some quick tests and I'm always seeing the ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise option when I should. Feel free to shoot me an email at jwhitney@esri.com

Re: Share Explorer Markups

ElenaS — Wed, 05 Sep 2018 22:16:34 GMT

Was a solution found? I have the same issue. I am a level 2 user but I don't see the ArcGIS Online option (it does not show up after pressing the .../more button).

Hello! Make sure your markup is in a webmap, then click the edit button. The share button will appear in the bottom righthand corner of your screen. Tap that, and share from there.
