Thought I would share my 1st StoryMap with the team here. The storymap has had a few upgrades over the month, I've shared it with friends, co-workers and the local cave club, and lots of positive feedback that they enjoyed the Storymap format. So I do look forward to the next one. This one was made for tablet/phone in mind.  (also thanks Bernard for that earlier assistance) Click below to go to the Samoa Cave StoryMap: ArcGIS StoryMaps  Any further advice on improving the StoryMap is greatly appreciated. ...

Sorry if this seems like a rookie question, as I am with self-learning arcgis (online) with only 6 months of tinkering, and I apologize if my GIS lingo is not right. My question is around the structure of cave tables for mainly point data of cave entrances, I have a reasonable list of cave entrance locations - but what is the best way to set up/structure cave tables/tabs?  Is it recommended to create a main tab for the cave and give the cave a unique ID (basic info on a tab/table), and then add other feature tables linking to the Unique ID number eg other tables such as Entrances, property owners, environmental features, surveyors, finder of the cave etc? or just make 1 mega table where possible? Whats the best way to start thinking about the structure of table(s) and the number of tables? I have seen one 1 reasonable articles on the web on example tables, I just thought to ask this group if there are any recommended reading out there or considerations to the structure from others learnings. Many thanks in advance. Karl. ... View more
