The spatial index should be created automatically when you import data into the feature class and it is maintained by the GIS.  If you need to rebuild it.  You may need to unregister as versioned first.  You also need to do it when nobody else is on the system.  It is a very resource intensive process. Your best bet may be to export the feature classes to a filegeodatabase and allow it to be built automatically.  Then import them back into your database http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/manage-data/geodatabases/modifying-a-spatial-index.htm ...

Create an animated GIF. In your feature class properties under the selection tab specify to use a given Symbol. Select your GIF as your symbol. Recommend keeping the number of animations down to only a few.  You will need a place to host your GIF as I do it as your database will not support it.  ... View more

GIS is a system of maps that are tied to databases. ArcGIS Desktop is the software you install on your machine to manage the GIS.  Make maps etc. ArcGIS Pro is another software program that does the same thing.  It is built to be more integrated with ArcGIS Online but it not a requirement for making online Maps. ArcGIS Online is an online map that people can use.  A good example is getting driving directions via Bing or Google Maps.  ArcGIS Enterprise is a suite of software that combine so you can make those maps and make them available to the world.  You don't need to have them to use ArcGIS online.  However, when your organization gets large enough it can be a better solution to provide the Enterprise option yourself.  You can use ArcGIS online and ESRI manages the back end for you.   ...

You shared the original as a as a Map Service to get it online.  Publish the Image only as a Map Service and add it to your Web Map as a separate layer.  And then you may want to Tile it when you publish.  Tiling is what Google and Bing do to get images online that look sharp and smooth.  It will Cache the image.  However, check to make sure your not using tokens or whatever for your company first.   ...

Have you tried using the Near (Analysis Tool)? It will give you In FID, Out FID, Distance, XY and even angle to the near item.  ... View more

I honestly feel the best answer is to get laptops with dedicated graphics cards.  This link shows the hardware requirements for ArcGIS Pro. ArcGIS Pro Requirements You will see that Pro recommends Dedicated GPU.  There is no way around it no matter what you are using you are trying to display graphics.  Personally i do not believe Laptops are suitable for GIS unless you have them docked to a docking station that is connected to larger monitors. ...

I looks like it is compressing your original image.  How large in megabytes is your original and what format?  you might need to publish the image as a separate Map Service.  It may also help to put the image in its own Filegeodatabase and compress it.  The add the image Map Service to your web map ...

You can create a Dashboard.  One of the options is to show a pie chart.  You can then set up a list of Counties and set up a filter such that when you select the county it will filter the pie chart to only show the selected county or counties ... View more

Certification in GIS is really a moot point with your experience. If someone was ignorant enough to not hire you because you do not have a GIS Certificate you would probably not want to work for that person. My boss has a 2 year tech college degree in AutoCAD, the woman across the hall from me has a teaching degree in Physical Education. She is brilliant in her GIS work.  Our other three techs (me included) all have Geography Degrees with GIS minors.  Very little of what I learned in college GIS classes really made a huge difference. What was more important was the Geography aspect of the education.  Then you have people that think GISP is important. That fine, go ahead and get that certification.  That said the only certification  you could really get with out going back to school is a GISP.  But then I go back to my second sentence. There was a GIS person at an organization who quit to go work for a different one.  They contracted with my company for me to go work there for several months a few days a week while they looked to hire a new person. She trained me in for 2 days before leaving.  She told me she quit because one of the VP's told her she does not have a GIS certification and she could not get any more promotions or raises until she did.  But damn she had been there 16 years and built that GIS from the ground up.  Company pissed away that much experience due to ignorance. ...

Annotation is going to be your best bet. The leader lines available have needed to be improved ever since they were first developed and are not terribly good to work with. You could also make your map page area smaller.  go with a larger scale. your trying to show to much data on a page. ... View more
