Open

New Features

Export Feature Services by Attribute Text (CSV)

This powerful tool allows you to generate a CSV based on a target value contained in any field and any number of feature services. Users can efficiently explore large datasets by searching for specific values within a field. This capability allows for targeted analysis, enabling users to extract relevant information quickly.

Open

New Tool: Update Cache Control For Feature Layers

This tool allows you to update your cache control for feature layers in bulk, which can allow you to decrease the amount of time it takes to load a map containing the layer, improving the performance of any apps that use the layer.

New Tool: Update Public Data Collection For Feature Layers

With this tool, you can easily set whether you would like to enable or disable public data collection in your feature layers in bulk, completing your task in just a few clicks.

New Tool: Update Optimize Layer Drawing For Feature Layers

Drawing optimization is a setting for polyline and polygon feature layers that are used to increase the client-side performance of drawing features with geometries that have highly dense vertices. With this tool, you can enable or disable the optimization of your feature layers in bulk.

New Tool: Download Image Items

Have you ever found the need to download a large number of your image files at once and didn’t want to click on each item to download? With our new Download Image Items tool, you can select all image type items and grab them all at once from your ArcGIS Organization.

New Features

Find / Replace Web Maps Item ID

When you publish content to your ArcGIS Organization, it is assigned a unique Item ID. Anything that references that item will use its Item ID behind the scenes. The Find / Replace Web Maps Item ID allows you to update those references from one item to another. This can be helpful in a variety of situations, such as if you accidentally delete an item and create recreate it, or if you want to keep an item and mark it as deprecated but have a new replacement that’s authoritative.

Update Administrative Contacts

Administrative Contacts are the administrators who are the main point of contact for an ArcGIS Organization. They receive the information about organization member accounts as well as information like the subscription status for the ArcGIS Organization. As companies grow and change over time, the people they need as their Administrative Contacts may change as well. The Update Administrative Contacts tool gives you a simple way to update those individuals.

Update Editing Capabilities for Feature Layers

With this new tool, you can set what level of editing is available for feature layers. Want to allow people to add new points of interest but not delete old ones? Not a problem! Should editors be able to edit the attributes to help make features more accurate? You can do that!
