Content and data management<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Shared editing using distributed collaboration<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For many years, organizations have been using distributed collaboration<\/a> to share layers, maps, and apps with other ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Online environments, facilitating better access to data and content and new ways of working together. With this release comes an exciting new collaboration enhancement enabling organizations to edit and synchronize data updates across environments. Previously, only the organization that originally owned the layer could sync edits. Now, two-way syncing is possible.<\/p>\n

This has been a highly requested feature in order to streamline data management workflows and help teams work more closely together. Organizations have shared with us that they plan to use this for field data collection across Enterprise and Online, to contribute to source of truth datasets across departments, and much more. Learn more about this feature in an upcoming blog and the share content with collaboration groups<\/a> documentation topic.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1223462,"id":1223462,"title":"Two way sync image","filename":"Two-way-sync-image.png","filesize":120794,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Two-way-sync-image.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-enterprise\/announcements\/whats-new-in-arcgis-enterprise-10-9\/two-way-sync-image","alt":"","author":"8022","description":"","caption":"New in collaboration is the ability to edit and sync data changes across organizations.","name":"two-way-sync-image","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1206812,"date":"2021-05-06 16:31:37","modified":"2021-05-06 16:32:03","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1028,"height":1063,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Two-way-sync-image-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Two-way-sync-image.png","medium-width":252,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Two-way-sync-image.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":794,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Two-way-sync-image.png","large-width":1028,"large-height":1063,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Two-way-sync-image.png","1536x1536-width":1028,"1536x1536-height":1063,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Two-way-sync-image.png","2048x2048-width":1028,"2048x2048-height":1063,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Two-way-sync-image-450x465.png","card_image-width":450,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Two-way-sync-image.png","wide_image-width":1028,"wide_image-height":1063}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Group export\/import update<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1, two new REST resources were introduced, \/export<\/a> and \/import<\/a>, to make it easier to move content<\/a> across development, staging, and production environments. Used together, these resources take the content in a group (layers, maps, and apps) and export them into a package that can be imported into another ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. This process can be done through REST and scripted using the ArcGIS API for Python. Starting with this release, you can now choose to import your content into a specific folder. This avoids having to add items into a folder after the import operation and saves time.<\/p>\n

Field-level editing settings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Field-level editing settings<\/a> allow you to disable editing on certain fields in your editable hosted feature layer. Say you have a layer that includes green roofs (vegetated roofs) on commercial properties in your city. You’d like to enable editing on the layer so that attributes about the roof can be updated, but you wouldn’t want key fields like the building address to be edited. With this setting, you can enable editing on the layer and then disable editing on the specific address field.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1212302,"id":1212302,"title":"FieldEdits2","filename":"FieldEdits2.png","filesize":11104,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FieldEdits2.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-enterprise\/announcements\/whats-new-in-arcgis-enterprise-10-9\/fieldedits2","alt":"","author":"8022","description":"","caption":"Field-level editing settings give more fine-grained control over editing.","name":"fieldedits2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1206812,"date":"2021-04-23 18:25:47","modified":"2021-04-23 22:25:53","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":543,"height":422,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FieldEdits2-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FieldEdits2.png","medium-width":336,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FieldEdits2.png","medium_large-width":543,"medium_large-height":422,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FieldEdits2.png","large-width":543,"large-height":422,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FieldEdits2.png","1536x1536-width":543,"1536x1536-height":422,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FieldEdits2.png","2048x2048-width":543,"2048x2048-height":422,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FieldEdits2.png","card_image-width":543,"card_image-height":422,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FieldEdits2.png","wide_image-width":543,"wide_image-height":422}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Append data<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As new data comes in and is available, there may come a time when you need to append data<\/a> to an existing hosted layer. With this update, this is now possible using append, where you can add features to your layer or update existing features. Supported formats for appending data include shapefiles, CSVs, Excel sheets, and GeoJSON files.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1208362,"id":1208362,"title":"Append Resize","filename":"Append-Resize.png","filesize":24768,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Append-Resize.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-enterprise\/announcements\/whats-new-in-arcgis-enterprise-10-9\/append-resize","alt":"Option to append data to an existing layer","author":"8022","description":"","caption":"The append option is available on the item details page.","name":"append-resize","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1206812,"date":"2021-04-21 22:35:36","modified":"2021-04-23 22:26:44","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":577,"height":495,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Append-Resize-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Append-Resize.png","medium-width":304,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Append-Resize.png","medium_large-width":577,"medium_large-height":495,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Append-Resize.png","large-width":577,"large-height":495,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Append-Resize.png","1536x1536-width":577,"1536x1536-height":495,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Append-Resize.png","2048x2048-width":577,"2048x2048-height":495,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Append-Resize-542x465.png","card_image-width":542,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Append-Resize.png","wide_image-width":577,"wide_image-height":495}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Join Features to a view<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Following along the data management theme, many users have asked for the ability to create a joined layer that dynamically updates as the input layers do. To achieve this, you can now run the Join Features<\/a> analysis tool and set your output to be a hosted feature layer view. The hosted feature layer view will be read-only and will update as your input layers change to reflect the most recent data.<\/p>\n

For example, using a layer of green roofs on commercial properties, I could run the analysis tool Join Features to combine attributes from another layer that contains other information about the property\u2014perhaps the year it was benchmarked for energy usage and the date it was constructed. This gives me a result layer with an even more comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of the property. By creating a hosted feature layer view, if an attribute changes, such as the size of the green roof in the green roof layer, this will be reflected in my view so that I do not have to run Join Features again to get the most up to date data.<\/p>\n

Simultaneously publish a vector tile layer and associated feature layer<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now using ArcGIS Pro 2.8 you can publish a vector tile layer and an associated feature layer simultaneously!\u00a0 You will now see this option when sharing a web layer from ArcGIS Pro.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1208442,"id":1208442,"title":"ShareVector","filename":"ShareVector.png","filesize":37220,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShareVector.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-enterprise\/announcements\/whats-new-in-arcgis-enterprise-10-9\/sharevector","alt":"Publishing options from ArcGIS Pro","author":"8022","description":"","caption":"Option to share a vector tile layer with a feature layer from ArcGIS Pro.","name":"sharevector","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1206812,"date":"2021-04-21 22:44:07","modified":"2021-04-23 22:31:29","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":378,"height":484,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShareVector-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShareVector.png","medium-width":204,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShareVector.png","medium_large-width":378,"medium_large-height":484,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShareVector.png","large-width":378,"large-height":484,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShareVector.png","1536x1536-width":378,"1536x1536-height":484,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShareVector.png","2048x2048-width":378,"2048x2048-height":484,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShareVector-363x465.png","card_image-width":363,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ShareVector.png","wide_image-width":378,"wide_image-height":484}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

With this new option, editors can update a feature layer with new features and once they are done, you could then rebuild the vector tile cache through the ArcGIS Enterprise portal. This means the edits would be reflected in the vector tile cache layer so any map where this vector tile cache layer is present is now also up to date.<\/p>\n

ArcGIS Enterprise portal<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Administrative reports<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Administrative reports<\/a> are one of the new features in ArcGIS Enterprise that I am most excited about. These exportable reports have lots of potential when it comes to helping administrators better understand their environments and act on that information. Under Organization > Status > Reports in your Enterprise portal, there are two types of reports that can be generated: member and item. The member report lists various attributes about members in your organization such as username, name, email, profile visibility, user type, last login, and group and item ownership. With member reports, you can answer questions such as:<\/p>\n
