Hello. In my web map, I'd like to create a point symbol that uses both color and shape based on two attributes.

My data has two attributes of interest:

1) Tree species (three that we care about)
2) Recommended treatment type (three we care about)

I'd like to style the points like this:

COLOR
All Species1 trees are yellow
All Species2 trees are brown
All Species3 trees are green

SHAPE
All trees with Treatment1 are oval
All trees with treatment2 are square
All trees with Treatment3 are triangles

For example:
Species1 with Treatment1 - symbol should be yellow oval
Species1 with treatment2 - symbol should be yellow square
Species2 with Treatment1 - symbol should be brown oval
Species3 with Treatment3 - symbol should be green triangle
and so on.

How can I implement that symbology pattern? Ideally, i'd like to not have to have the data layer on the map twice, but that's not a firmly fixed requirement. Is this a place where Arcade can help out?

Thank you

Hi @Laura . Thank you for your suggestions and links. I was able to create the map as desired in Pro, but the map could not be imported to AGOL. :{

I'm gonna try the Arcade approach. Currently there are only 9 combinations of the variables, so while not ideal, it should be manageable.
