Good Afternoon,
I am currently looking for the a solution that meets the following requirements:
- KML files can be converted directly to hosted feature layers within ArcGIS Online/Portal.
- KML files are uploaded directly from computer and not hosted as items within ArcGIS Online/Portal.
- The created hosted feature layers maintain the same symbology as the original KML files.
My current understanding:
- KML files can be uploaded to ArcGIS Online/Portal but remain as KML file types limiting usage and functionality within Web Maps (ie. cannot alter symbology, no labeling, no attribute table).
- Map Viewer analysis tools do not offer a KML to Hosted Feature Layer conversion.
- KML files can be converted to feature layers within ArcGIS Pro and then published to ArcGIS Online/Portal. *This is a limitation if users are not familiar with ArcGIS Pro.
In this case, publishing a custom ArcGIS web tool appears to be the best approach using either of the following options:
- Publishing an ArcGIS Pro python toolbox to ArcGIS Online/Portal as a web tool.
- Publishing an ArcGIS Notebook hosted within ArcGIS Online/Portal as a web tool.
Any advice and/or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
