You’ve made it to the end of the school year. Great work is done, students are graduating, and teachers are ready for a break. Just like you prepare your classroom for the year ahead, do the same with your ArcGIS organization. Here are 3 tips for preparing your ArcGIS organization for the school year to come:
- Clean up the accounts
- Clean up the content
- Review your ArcGIS organization administrators
Let’s see how.
1. Clean up the accounts
With students graduating (and moving) and staff changes taking place, the users in your ArcGIS organization will be different next year from this last year. Manage the accounts of departing users to keep your organization secure. See Disable, review, delete: A best practice for managing the accounts of departing users.
2. Clean up the content
You don’t need to keep every assignment or draft of a project. They have served their purpose and are no longer useful. Instead, identify the ones you want to preserve and let go of the others. See A tidy ArcGIS Online organization for the holidays: Identifying and deleting unnecessary items.
Bonus: Keep an eye out for exemplary student work that you’d like to share with a wider audience. Take advantage of a showcase account to preserve and share that amazing work.
3. Review your ArcGIS organization administrators
Make sure the people who’ll oversee your ArcGIS organization have the access they’ll need. And make sure past admins who no longer need that access no longer have it. See Know who holds the keys: Review your organization administrators.
Map on!
Having followed these three tips, your ArcGIS organization will be ready for another year of student mapping and spatial projects.
