I feel like there must be an easier way to do this, but I can't figure it out. I want to easily update sample results for geolocated sites in a dashboard without reassigning and reloading the data to the sites each time.
I have some sites that are sampled for E.coli bacteria on a regular basis. I would like to easily update new result data for the same sites each week. The only solution I have been able to figure out is as follows:
1. Create an Excel file with all results data (full history) with fields: Date, Site, Result. And upload to ArcPro as a standalone table.
2. Join my sites feature layer one-to-many with the standalone results table. Join by Site.
3. Export features of my joined sites layer to a new layer in ArcPro. Then remove join on original sites feature layer so it is available for future use.
4. Share the newly created exported layer as a Web Layer. This new layer has duplicative repeated feature rows for each date a site was sampled. Fields: Site from feature layer, Date, Site, Result.
5. Republish the dashboard with the newly shared layer.
It would be much simpler if I just had one unchanging feature layer of non-repeated sites and this layer was related as a relational database to a freshly uploaded table of results data. Is this not possible in ArcGIS Online?
