How do I create sub group layers for a Utility map on AGOL?

MatthewElbert1 — Mon, 06 Aug 2018 14:16:17 GMT

I have created a city utilities map and uploaded it to 'my content' on AGOL. With the amount of information involved, even with scale visibility parameters associated with certain layers, the map has a tendency to lag when refreshing. I would like to create group layers for my map (water-associated info, sanitary sewer, storm, rural water, etc) and be able to click the entire group layer on/off if I want. This would greatly help the load speed of the map and increase usability for those seeking the map. What is the easiest way to accomplish this? (Note: I have built a WAB Dev app that enables a toggle on/off switch but our dept. doesn't have an outward facing server, so I can't upload the app yet, so I'm looking for a solution using AGOL-based tools, and I am using ArcMap 10.5.1). Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated, thank you).

I think you're asking about is something that many people have asked for. Here's a link for the ArcGIS Idea's page where Arc says in the their product plan so who knows when we will actually get it.

In order to group layers we must migrate the Map Viewer to the 4.x JSAPI. This is a large and complex project that is expected to be completed in 2019.
