While examining the layer’s REST, notice that the time is enabled and the “Time Interval Units” are defined. When this layer is added to a map a time slider with the associated interval of a single day is made available by default.<\/p>\n

Let’s walk through a workflow that publishes time enabled animal telemetry data to ArcGIS Online where we enable time and configure the interval and units.\u00a0 This way when the layer is added to a map or app it will have the proper behavior with time friendly sliders and widgets.<\/p>\n

Example<\/h2>\n

Using an example dataset from the Animal Telemetry Network (ATN) let’s walk through the process of creating a time enabled layer and configuring the settings in ArcGIS Online.<\/p>\n

NOAA’s ERDDAP is a data server that gives you a simple, consistent way to download subsets of gridded and tabular scientific datasets in common file formats and make graphs and maps. We will obtain ATN data from NOAA ERDDAP to publish in ArcGIS Online. The following ERDDAP request accesses and downloads the past 5 years worth of ATN data into a CSV file.<\/p>\n

ERRDAP Request<\/a><\/h3>\n

Once you have the file we can easily upload it to ArcGIS Online and create our layer (hosted feature class).
