What\u2019s new with hosted feature layers:\u00a0 Updating data gets more flexible with append<\/h2>\n

At this year\u2019s Esri Developer Summit in Palm Springs, you shared some great stories about how you\u2019re using the new Append functionality to update data in your hosted feature layers. You also requested some enhancements. The good news is that some of those enhancements were already in the works, and with the latest update of ArcGIS Online, you can start to take advantage of them.<\/p>\n

New file formats<\/h3>\n

Data updates can come from just about anywhere\u2014especially if you\u2019re working with multiple contractors and organizations, each with their own internal business processes and standards.\u00a0 ArcGIS Online now supports appending data in two new file formats: Excel and GeoJSON.\u00a0 If you or someone you work with makes use of Excel sheets, you can now skip a step and not export it out as a CSV file first. Excel files do not have a strict field type, so to avoid unexpected results it is recommended that the first few rows of your data accurately reflect the field type for the data, otherwise information could be dropped during append.\u00a0 Additionally, those who favor more open formats can now append data in GeoJSON files.\u00a0 These two formats give you a few more options like you have in other areas of ArcGIS Online such as publishing new layers.<\/p>\n

Update information based on your own ID field<\/h3>\n

Many of you have your own ID fields that are unique and reflect the naming standards within your organization\u2014for example, an Electoral District, Parcel ID, Asset ID, or anything that uniquely identifies the feature .\u00a0 Now you can use that field as the match field when updating existing data.\u00a0 To take advantage of this feature, you first need to enable the setting on the field to verify that the existing data for that field in the layer is unique.<\/p>\n

To enable this start from the layer\u2019s item page, go to the Data<\/strong> tab, click on the field you want to use as a unique ID, and choose Show Field Details View<\/strong>. Under Settings<\/strong>, you\u2019ll see an option to set the field as unique.\u00a0 Depending on the size of your data, it may take some time to validate that the existing data is unique.\u00a0 If the validation fails, take a moment to review the field to make sure there are no duplicate values.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":152261,"id":152261,"title":"Unique ID fields","filename":"2018-04-16-08_13_51-federalresults.png","filesize":16558,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-16-08_13_51-federalresults.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/data-management\/whats-new-with-hosted-feature-layers-updating-data-gets-more-flexible-with-append\/2018-04-16-08_13_51-federalresults","alt":"","author":"6981","description":"","caption":"","name":"2018-04-16-08_13_51-federalresults","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":150181,"date":"2018-04-16 12:14:46","modified":"2018-04-16 12:15:04","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":805,"height":916,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-16-08_13_51-federalresults.png","thumbnail-width":176,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-16-08_13_51-federalresults.png","medium-width":229,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-16-08_13_51-federalresults.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":874,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-16-08_13_51-federalresults.png","large-width":805,"large-height":916,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-16-08_13_51-federalresults.png","1536x1536-width":805,"1536x1536-height":916,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-16-08_13_51-federalresults.png","2048x2048-width":805,"2048x2048-height":916,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-16-08_13_51-federalresults.png","card_image-width":409,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-16-08_13_51-federalresults.png","wide_image-width":805,"wide_image-height":916}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Once the field passes validation, it will be available to use as the match field anytime you choose to update existing features.\u00a0 This option should make it easier to integrate data updates coming from external databases where it can be difficult to maintain ObjectID or GlobalID fields from your GIS.<\/p>\n

Enable more workflows through flexible options: Update only, mix and match, relaxed restrictions on sync<\/h3>\n

Working with feature layers offline requires that sync be enabled on the layer.\u00a0\u00a0 Until recently, it wasn\u2019t possible to append data on sync-enabled layers.\u00a0\u00a0 We\u2019ve relaxed that restriction in this release, and now you can add new features to your layer through the Append workflow. Updating existing features for sync-enabled layers is still a restriction, but one we hope to remove in a future release.<\/p>\n

With this release, it\u2019s also easier to only update the attributes for your existing features.\u00a0\u00a0 If the data you upload contains more features than what matches to your feature layer, you can choose Skip features without a match<\/strong> so that any data in the uploaded file that doesn\u2019t match to a feature in the layer is ignored. If you happen to upload data that has a different geometry type than the feature layer, rather than preventing you from going further, the Append workflow will now let you do an attribute-only update to existing features.<\/p>\n

Wrap-up<\/h3>\n

If you look at all these enhancements, you\u2019ll see a common theme: flexibility.\u00a0 Managing data is a challenging task and being forced into a specific file format or workflow really limits what you can do.\u00a0 Updating data is about giving you a flexible set of data management options to fold into your workflow to facilitate updating data.\u00a0 \u00a0Speaking of flexibility, stay tuned for the next blog showing how you can use the python api to get more work done with append. We\u2019ve loved hearing how you\u2019re using append to improve workflows\u2014we can\u2019t wait to find out what you do next.<\/p>\n"}],"authors":[{"ID":6981,"user_firstname":"Paul","user_lastname":"Barker","nickname":"Paul Barker","user_nicename":"pbarker_esri","display_name":"Paul Barker","user_email":"PBarker@esri.com","user_url":"http:\/\/www.arcgis.com","user_registered":"2018-03-02 00:19:05","user_description":"Product Engineer for ArcGIS Online and technology enthusiast.","user_avatar":""}],"related_articles":[{"ID":137171,"post_author":"7641","post_date":"2018-04-12 05:18:56","post_date_gmt":"2018-04-12 05:18:56","post_content":"","post_title":"What's New in ArcGIS Online (April 2018)","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"whats-new-arcgis-online-april-2018","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-07-24 09:15:15","post_modified_gmt":"2018-07-24 16:15:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/?post_type=blog&p=137171","menu_order":0,"post_type":"blog","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-13-09_17_39-FederalResults2015.png","wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018-04-13-09_20_05-FederalResults2015.png"},"yoast_head":"\nWhat\u2019s new with hosted feature layers: Updating data gets more flexible with append<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Updating your data in ArcGIS Online just got better.
