Question 5

If you need to share data as the input for analysis, consider sharing how?

Answer 5

Map Package or Layer Package. Packages allow you to create a self-contained set of information that ArcGIS Pro users can use. Data can be unpacked locally and used for workflows that involve running models and scripts or performing geoprocessing tasks.

Question 6

If content needs to be shared as maps for the largest set of users working with multiple devices, consider using what?

Answer 6

Web maps and web layers. Web maps and web layers can be viewed in web browsers, on mobile devices, and in ArcGIS Pro. They can also be used with ArcGIS Web AppBuilder, with a configurable app template, or with ArcGIS AppStudio to generate new applications for others to view and use.

Question 7

If you need to share content with individuals who are working with ArcGIS Pro on a local network, what could be the best option?

Answer 7

A project package, project template, or layout file may suffice for generating a map series. Files can reference other data that must also be accessible to the users. If a file makes references to a map or layer, the map or layer itself is not included.

Question 8

What are files that contain maps, layers, projects, and other supporting content, such as data and folder connections? They can be used to share content or create archives and data backups. They can be used only when data is shared with ArcGIS Pro users.

Answer 8

Packages

Question 9

ArcGIS Pro can share what? They are made up of a collection of web layers. Selected layers within a map can be individually shared as hosted web layers. Web maps are best used for generating applications supported by various devices. They (2nd item) can be used to create new maps for visualization, editing, query, and analysis.

Answer 9

Sharing maps and layers

Question 10

What store references to underlying data. They also save definitions of items, which include general properties. They can be maps, layers, tasks, or layouts. They are best used when sharing with ArcGIS Pro users.

Answer 10

Files

Question 11

ArcGIS Pro can do what to your content to check for any issues and provide recommendations and suggestions to fix those issues?

Answer 11

Analyze

Question 12

When Analyzing: Content cannot be shared until the errors have been fixed. Type of message?

Answer 12

Error

Question 13

When Analyzing: Content can be shared if issues are discovered that generate warning messages. These issues can be optionally fixed or ignored. Type of message?

Answer 13

Warning

Question 14

A package can optionally include extra files that provide information related to the geographic content. They are called what?

Answer 14

Attachments

Question 15

What do you need to create web apps?

Answer 15

Web layers are used to create web maps. Then the web maps are used to create web apps

Question 16

When authoring a web map, you must first do what?

Answer 16

Identify your required map content, including a basemap and operational data. After your identification, you add these data layers to the map and configure both layer and map properties to support the map’s purpose.

Question 17

Maps authored using ArcGIS Pro can be shared as what? They may contain data layers of different types, such as features or tiles.

Answer 17

Web maps

When you share a map in ArcGIS Pro as a web map, its map layers are also simultaneously shared as hosted web layers. If a map contains data layers of the same type, it may optionally be shared as a web layer.

Question 18

What requires configuration to support feature editing, offline editing of local features that synchronize changes to the web layer when online, and exporting data to various formats, such as shapefiles, CSV, or GeoJSON. Editing permissions can be further refined to support only adding new features or updating existing feature attributes?

Answer 18

Web feature layers

Question 19

What can use a well-known tiling scheme (such as ArcGIS Online) or a predefined custom tiling scheme. You can define levels of detail between level 0 (global) and level 19 (local) for tiles?

Answer 19

Web tile layers. You can either build these tiles when you are sharing a web layer or build them manually at a later time.

Question 20

Layout files reference maps and data using paths. By contrast, what can contain the actual data, which is useful when sharing outside your organization?

Answer 20

project packages

Unlike most sharing options, where content can be shared locally or with an organization, layout files can only be saved locally. Project packages are a good choice when content is shared broadly; layout files are more appropriate for sharing with a limited number of users.

Question 21

What are ideal for sharing collections of content with other ArcGIS Pro users, including multiple maps, scenes, basemaps, and layouts?

Answer 21

Project packages

Besides content provided by map and layer packages, project packages can also include styles, tasks, and toolboxes.
