1) are there options for the user to select the symbolism of the data, other than circles on top of each other?
2) has there been any discussion about replacing them as the default symbol?
Also, probably too big to answer, maybe, but is there or will there be a way to symbolize data in Real Time? Or give the user options for selection of a time period for data as it evolves?
Hey Daniel,
Answers to questions 1-2: Yes, there are multiple options to change the symbology in the map, and you can change the default symbology when you add your data to the map. The first graphic shows how to change the default symbology, and the second graphic shows the comprehensive Layer style (symbology) options within the map. Your last question is a bit trickier, I know we can ingest and visualize Real Time data from the ArcGIS Online Portal or Enterprise Portal directly in our ArcGIS Maps for Office Map but if we want to modify symbology or run analysis on specific time periods of our Real Time data we need to use ArcGIS Pro or Map Viewer. I hope my answers have provided some clarity, and I will be looking further into the Real Time capabilities of ArcGIS Maps for Office.
