Sharing

GeoPlanner is a web app built on ArcGIS that supports data sharing across your organization. You can share projects, scenarios, assessment, evaluation or operational data, and dashboards. Sharing differs by item type.

Share a project

Sharing a project and its associated scenarios is done by inviting users to a project group. Once a user is invited and joins the project team, they can open and review all scenarios associated with this project, including scenarios created by other users.

Share operational layers and basemaps

Sharing common operational layers and basemaps is done by adding data to the project template web map. When a user opens a project, a web map is automatically created for the user by the app, and this web map is stored on the user's My Content tab of the content page in their organization. All layers included in the project template web map are automatically added to the user's web map. Other data added by the project owner to their own web map, which may include analysis layers and evaluation layers, is not included in the user web map for another user. However, other users can use the Add Data function to discover items and manually add them to their own project web map.

Share dashboards

Sharing dashboards is supported by exporting a dashboard to the project or template from which the project was created. Collaborators can import a shared dashboard into their local project. If a dashboard was exported to a template, all new projects created from that template will contain the dashboard. Assessment layers associated with a shared dashboard are added when that dashboard is imported into a project.

Share result layers

The app automatically shares assessment or evaluation-result layers. When performing an analysis or evaluation process, the result layer is automatically shared with the project group, and all project team members can discover these items by using the Add Data function and manually adding them to their own project web map.

Share report items

The app automatically shares exported or uploaded data items. When exporting spatial data using the Export function, the result item is automatically shared with the project group. All project team members can discover these items by using the Search for Files function. Depending on the item type, it can be either directly opened or downloaded by other team members.

The app automatically shares web maps and web scenes. When saving a web map or web scene using the Export function, the web map is created, saved in, and automatically shared with the project group, and all project team members can discover these items by opening the project folder in their organization.
