I am just starting to work with ArgGIS Online and was wondering if there is a way to add numeric data as labels to a map. This is easily done within ArcGIS Desktop. For example, you can label a county with the county name or you can change the label to area, population, etc. I don't see this option with the Online product. Does this capability not exist? Can you plot text strings as X,Y data? I don't see this as an available feature.
Here is a somewhat complex process that allows you to add labels without having to create a tile map service. If the search function on the forums was worth a damn, I might have found this by myself. But ESRI tech suport (Jegan) found it in a few seconds.
Thanks. I think this will work, but I agree that it is complex. Doesn't seem like it should be, that it would be a feature that is common and in high demand. I have always used labels on data plots. And it was hard to find. In fact, I couldn't find it either. I just had to create a new thread and hope someone would answer. I gave up on finding it myself.
