Many Administrators of GIS organizations have expressed the need \u201cto flatten the adoption curve\u201d and \u201cput the data into the hands of analysts quickly\u201d – and the latest release of ArcGIS Earth<\/a> offers new options to help them achieve those goals by introducing the ability to share custom configuration settings across the enterprise.<\/span><\/p>\n

ArcGIS Earth provides situational awareness on desktop and mobile devices for improved decision-making. Users can ingest data in different formats, including 3D models; Keyhole Markup Language (KML), Keyhole Markup language Zipped (KMZ) files; TXT; and open services from ArcGIS or with a URL, to explore areas of interest in 3D. While many of the customers we directly support have limited availability to use mobile, the tips and tricks we will provide below can influence trends to make it easier for analysts to get up to speed faster.<\/p>\n

Jumpstarting Users with a Customized Environment<\/h2>\n

First, when opening ArcGIS Earth for the first time, it may be daunting for a user to understand which portal to use, which datasets are available, how to connect to various different portals to pull in other geospatial data, and how to pull data from KML that’s been in use for 20 years that has just stopped working (requiring the use of KML editing). <\/span><\/p>\n

What we want to show is that as an administrator deploying ArcGIS Earth, the experience can be tailored specifically to getting individuals off the ground faster.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since ArcGIS Earth is a free and an easy-to-use tool to quickly fuse, manipulate, and collaborate with 3D data, administrators of GIS software should jump at getting their users the opportunity to incorporate these best practices into their environments and help with tasks to share and collaborate on information.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step One: Locating and Customizing Config Files<\/span><\/h2>\n

As an Admin, look at the config file (C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Earth\\bin\\config.xml) and open it in a text editor. If doing this for the first time, your config.xml will be the vanilla COTS software install.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>By first creating of copy of the config.xml, and then customizing the interface, administrators can deploy specific portal instances,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1316752,"id":1316752,"title":"Custom Configuration Settings in ArcGIS Earth","filename":"Custom-Configuration-Settings-in-ArcGIS-Earth-1.png","filesize":85326,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Custom-Configuration-Settings-in-ArcGIS-Earth-1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-earth\/3d-gis\/sharing-custom-configuration-settings-in-arcgis-earth-to-boost-efficiency\/custom-configuration-settings-in-arcgis-earth-1","alt":"Custom Configuration Settings in ArcGIS Earth","author":"127791","description":"","caption":"","name":"custom-configuration-settings-in-arcgis-earth-1","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1316702,"date":"2021-08-03 21:55:48","modified":"2021-08-03 21:56:02","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":936,"height":172,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Custom-Configuration-Settings-in-ArcGIS-Earth-1-213x172.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":172,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Custom-Configuration-Settings-in-ArcGIS-Earth-1.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":85,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Custom-Configuration-Settings-in-ArcGIS-Earth-1.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":141,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Custom-Configuration-Settings-in-ArcGIS-Earth-1.png","large-width":936,"large-height":172,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Custom-Configuration-Settings-in-ArcGIS-Earth-1.png","1536x1536-width":936,"1536x1536-height":172,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Custom-Configuration-Settings-in-ArcGIS-Earth-1.png","2048x2048-width":936,"2048x2048-height":172,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Custom-Configuration-Settings-in-ArcGIS-Earth-1-826x152.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":152,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Custom-Configuration-Settings-in-ArcGIS-Earth-1.png","wide_image-width":936,"wide_image-height":172}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
