Allow data exports from hosted feature layers

As an organization administrator or the owner of a hosted feature layer or hosted table, you always have the ability to export data from the layer to one of the following file types:

  • A comma-separated values file (.csv)
  • A Microsoft Excel file
  • A shapefile
  • A file geodatabase
  • A GeoJSON file
  • A feature collection
  • A .kml file
  • An Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) GeoPackage file.

To allow others to export data from the item when they access it in ArcGIS Online, enable the Allow others to export to different formats option on the hosted feature layer or hosted table.

Note:
  • The Allow others to export to different formats option controls whether users can export the data while accessing it in the ArcGIS Online website. When you enable the ability to export data, anyone who can access the hosted feature layer, hosted feature layer view, or hosted table export data in the ArcGIS Online website can export data from it. Take this into consideration when you share the item.
  • This setting does not affect others' ability to export data from the underlying service. Even if you do not enable this export setting on the hosted feature layer or table, anyone who accesses this layer in other clients—such as ArcGIS Pro or custom apps—can export data from it.
  • When users other than the owner or organization administrator export from a hosted feature layer view that has field or feature definitions applied, the exported file only contains those fields or features that the definition allows. Field and feature definitions are not applied, however, when the owner or organization administrator exports; the exported file contains all fields and features.

Complete the following steps to allow others to export from a hosted table or hosted feature layer when they access the item in ArcGIS Online:

  1. Sign in to your organization.

    You must be the layer owner or a member of the default administrator role or a custom role assigned the set of privileges to manage all content owned by organization members.

  2. Open the item page for the hosted feature layer or hosted table.
  3. Click the Settings tab.
  4. Scroll to the Feature layer (hosted) or Table (hosted) section.
  5. Enable the Allow others to export to different formats toggle button and click Save.

Now other members of your organization can export from the hosted item.
