Automatic Labeling

AbigailOfori-Amoah — Tue, 01 Nov 2022 16:38:15 GMT

Hey Everyone,

Is there a way to generate automatic labeling for a point layer that can be published for ArcOnline? I have a point feature layer showing store locations that members of my team use. I've received a request for the layer to have the location label show up when it is added to the map viewer rather than each user having to configure the labels themselves. Is there a python script and/or workflow that can be set up to add this to my labeling capability to a feature layer? Any feedback helps!

You can enable labeling on the Layer and do Save Layer in Map Viewer so the label configuration is saved back to the Feature Layer item so other users wont have to configure this.

Here's some more details to support what @RussRoberts explains above:

On the item page of the feature layer, click the Visualization tab. Set up labels for the layer. Click Save.

Now, when people add this layer to a map, it will already be labeled.
