idea Default map symbology based on layer metadata in ArcGIS Online Ideas https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-ideas/default-map-symbology-based-on-layer-metadata/idi-p/932349 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Dear all,</P><P></P><P>based on discussion with users we would like to raise an Idea mainly for PRO, but also for AGOL/Portal about default symbology settings when new layer is added to Map/Project. The default symbology would be based on metadata of the layer.</P><P></P><P>The idea comes from issue, when you are creating a new maps with the same thematic layers - rivers, forest, roads, water bodies, green fields, etc. and you are forced to setting symbology again again and again for each new map.</P><P></P><P>When add these layers to the Project/Map the symbology is set by random. It would be great if the default symbology wasn´t random but based on metadata (if present) or layer name if it fit some name condition. For example if river will be mentioned in metadata/layer name, the layer will be drawn in blue (or with the default river line symbol), the same logic could be used for forest (dark green), roads, etc.</P><P></P><P>Thank you.</P><P></P><P>Vladimir</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Jul 2020 17:03:23 GMT VHolubec 2020-07-28T17:03:23Z Default map symbology based on layer metadata https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-ideas/default-map-symbology-based-on-layer-metadata/idi-p/932349 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Dear all,</P><P></P><P>based on discussion with users we would like to raise an Idea mainly for PRO, but also for AGOL/Portal about default symbology settings when new layer is added to Map/Project.
