ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Training

Members can view/create content depending on their privileges.

Watch the video to learn about creating and managing content.

Members with privileges to create content should utilize authoritative data from  the Denver Open Data Catalog Group  to ensure data is accurate and consistently updated before sharing content internally or externally.

AGOL members can determine authoritative data from non-authoritative data by looking for a green checkmark (starred in the image below). For example, AGOL members in Map Viewer can search for key words in “My Organization” and find authoritative content which has a green checkmark.

AGOL members should reach out to  TS GIS Services   when a desired dataset is not found in the Denver Open Data Catalog.

AGOL offers different sharing levels for content in order to restrict who can view certian content.

Watch the video to learn about setting sharing levels.

Members with privileges to alter sharing levels must abide by The City and County of Denver standards. Never share personal or restricted information publicly.

Groups are essential for organizing and sharing content. Members can view/create groups depending on their privileges.

Watch the video to learn about using groups.
