I had the pleasure of talking to a number of you at the Dev Summit recently and enjoyed all the great questions about hosted feature layer views. \u00a0We thought it might be helpful to take the example I had used previously in my blog<\/a> article and actually build each piece rather than just talk about it. Instead of trying to cram all of that into a blog post we’ve decided to publish it as a Story Map to allow you to interactively explore views and their flexibility. Click the image start exploring.<\/p>\n

I would also like to extend a special thanks to the Town of Oakville for making their data available, and providing images to support the Story Map.<\/p>\n"}],"authors":[{"ID":6981,"user_firstname":"Paul","user_lastname":"Barker","nickname":"Paul Barker","user_nicename":"pbarker_esri","display_name":"Paul
