Workflow for polygon uploads

IanLadd_Tourmaline — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 19:54:01 GMT

Hello,

I have a polygon feature class in ArcGIS Pro, I'd like to upload it to Sharepoint and use it in a map. I don't want to use ArcGIS online because I want my whole organization to see it in Sharepoint, but not publish it in AGOL.

How do I simply add a shapefile to Sharepoint and put it in my map?

Thank you,

Ian

Hello @IanLadd_Tourmaline --

Thanks for reaching out to us on Esri Community.

You can export the Shapefile to Excel table format using ArcGIS Pro (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7zU4AByEPA).

Once you've exported the data to Excel, you can then import into a SharePoint list (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CypncQIZD0)

You can also automate this workflow (converting Excel tables to SharePoint lists) by following the steps in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ5Tw3UL7ik.

Once you create the SharePoint list using the data from the Shapefile, you can then add the SharePoint list as a layer using the "ArcGIS" web part in SharePoint - https://doc.arcgis.com/en/microsoft-365/latest/sharepoint/add-a-data-layer-to-the-map.htm.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks & Regards,

Raaj

How does it work with polygons?

Irrespective of the geometry, the same steps should work for polygons as well. Please let me know if you are encountering any issues?

Thanks & Regards,

@RaajRaaj I'm confused by this post.

I know you cannot simply export polygons to excel, import as a Sharepoint list, and add it to a map. To be spatially enabled, the list must contain geometry fields - either Lat/Long or ESRI-JSON.

I am trying to import the ESRI-JSON geometry into Sharepoint using your instructions/video for power automate (Add Sharepoint list with geometry in Esri JSON for... - Esri Community), and my problem seems to be that the geometry of my polygons in my feature class hosted in AGOL is not exposed/available. Cannot find info online on how to expose/access the geometry field.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

@JasonSweeney2 - Thanks for reaching out to us on Esri Community.

Was the feature layer in AGOL created by you? If so, the layer should contain a column named "Shape". Can you try unhiding the column "Shape" and try extracting the geometry?

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks & Regards,
