This allows organizations to link ArcGIS Online groups to groups they already have in their existing enterprise groups. Additionally, administrators can make web apps available to specific organization members by adding the apps to the app launcher. Then, when administrators provision premium app licenses to organization members, these apps will appear in licensed users\u2019 app launchers.\r\n<h2>Landing Pages Get More Options<\/h2>\r\nIn the past, when users logged in to ArcGIS Online, they started at their organization\u2019s home page, while administrators started with their list of users. Now everyone in an organization\u2014members at any user level and administrators\u2014can customize their ArcGIS Online experiences to start wherever they would like, whether it\u2019s in the Gallery, Scene Viewer, Map Viewer, or the Content page.\r\n<h2>Hosted Feature Layers Get Enhanced<\/h2>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":56032,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"Hosted feature layer views already offered users different styles, filters, and fields, as well as sharing and editing capabilities. But now they are even more useful, since they can be defined spatially based on the extent of the map. For example, if a company that sells products to golf courses in the United States has a sales group focused on California, it can set the extent of its map for just the state of California.\r\n\r\nWith the latest update to ArcGIS Online, hosted feature layers support users who want to make bulk updates to existing features and append new features without overwriting the entire layer. Consider a scenario where data was modified after it was published, and the user has a series of updates and edits to add to the dataset. The process for resolving this problem no longer requires multiple manual and time-consuming steps. Users are now able to append data to existing layers, update subsets of features without overwriting everything, integrate external data updates while data is actively changing, update only the geometry of features based on more precise surveying, and affix new records to an already large dataset. Supported formats for this workflow include CSV files, shapefiles, and file geodatabases.\r\n<h2>Content Gets Freshened Up<\/h2>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":56042,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"This release emphasized imagery and demographic data for critical decision-making and other work that involves maps and apps.\r\n\r\nEsri has released version 2 of its vector basemaps, which incorporate refined styles and contain additional content from the Community Maps Program. To take advantage of these and future enhancements, users need to update their maps and apps so they use Esri vector basemaps, version 2.\r\n\r\nThe\u00a0<em>World Imagery<\/em>\u00a0basemap has been updated as well with fresh sets of DigitalGlobe imagery, including submeter-resolution\u00a0<em>Basemap +Vivid<\/em>\u00a0imagery for Australia and the United States. In addition, Esri has published DigitalGlobe\u2019s submeter-resolution\u00a0<em>Basemap +Metro<\/em>\u00a0imagery for hundreds of cities around the world.\r\n\r\nUpdates have been made to several demographic maps as well. Nexiga contributed the latest demographic data for Germany, and Esri partner Michael Bauer Research supplied the latest demographic data for several other countries. Detailed local boundaries\u2014based on authoritative data from national government sources\u2014have been published for Austria, Canada, and Germany, too. Users can employ these boundary layers to do more comprehensive visualizations and analysis.\r\n<h2>ArcGIS Online Users Get New Insights<\/h2>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":56052,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"Insights for ArcGIS, Esri\u2019s web-based data analytics workbench, is now available in ArcGIS Online. Its drag-and-drop tools make working with spatial and nonspatial data simple, helping users easily understand and explain information. Complex algorithms running behind the scenes produce maps, charts, and tables that users can employ to visualize data and answer questions, solve problems, and quickly deliver powerful results. This iterative and interactive spatial analysis experience is great for seasoned professionals as well as those who are new to GIS.\r\n\r\nFor more information about what\u2019s new in ArcGIS Online, visit the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/go.esri.com\/new\">ArcGIS Online blog<\/a>.
