- Best Practices for Managing ArcGIS – providing access and support (9am – 9:50am) PT
Implementing ArcGIS is part of a broad enterprise IT strategy for providing GIS at your institution. Learn core best practices for configuring and managing ArcGIS in higher education, including SAML logins, New Member defaults, Credit budgeting, taking ArcGIS Pro offline, among others. Support and collaboration models with stakeholders on campus will be discussed.
- ArcGIS Governance – Developing Policies and Managing Content (10am – 10:50am) PT
The concept of governance - institution-wide standards and policies for managing resources - is instrumental to managing ArcGIS effectively. We'll discuss key ideas for developing governance policies for ArcGIS users and content and consider the lifecycle of users and their content and groups. Options for managing ArcGIS storage, such as increasing capacity or reducing content, and communication strategies for onboarding and offboarding users, will be covered.
- ArcGIS Governance – Managing Credits and Users (11am – 11: 50am) PT
Discuss best practices for developing a governance strategy for ArcGIS at an institutional level, related to credits and users; as the number of users grows across an institution, so does the consumption of credits. Learn about strategies for managing credits proactively through allocations and monitoring, and redirection to alternative options for high credit consumption activities. Strategies will also be discussed for offboarding and deleting users, groups, and content.
- ArcGIS Governance - Monitoring Usage and system health (12noon – 12:50pm) PT
Today, ArcGIS is a system composed of multiple software, data, and service components. As its use grows across an educational institution, it is important to monitor and understand use of the system to develop and implement effective governance policies. Learn how to monitor the health of ArcGIS, gather information for data-driven planning and maintenance, and support communication strategies empowering users to proactively manage their content
