The November 2024 update includes support for embedding public maps with Map Viewer and the ability to perform analysis in Scene Viewer, along with other enhancements and new functionality throughout the ArcGIS Online website. Highlights are provided below. For more information, see the What's new in ArcGIS Online blog article.

Maps

  • Changes made to the field visibility, field order, and data sorting from within the attribute table in Map Viewer can now be saved to the web map or layer item. These configurations are visible when the attribute table is reopened.
  • You can now embed a public map you've opened in Map Viewer using ready-to-use HTML code.
  • You can now save exported map layouts and maps as items in My Content. If your organization has configured custom print layout templates (beta), you can now browse for custom print templates when printing a map layout. The ability to use custom print templates requires the Professional or Professional Plus user type.
  • When working with hosted feature layers, you can now add and manage related file attachments in the table if the layer owner has enabled attachments and you have privileges to edit the layer.
  • You can now open multiple tabs for tables, charts, raster function templates, analysis history, and ModelBuilder (beta) at the same time using the multi-tab view at the bottom of the map.
  • When editing features and working with sketch layers, you can now display a customizable grid to help guide feature drawing and placement.
  • You can now use SQL expressions when calculating field values in Map Viewer.
  • You can now configure binning on line and polygon features.
  • When working with Types (unique symbols) data, you can now select and manage all values in a group. Additionally, the legend now shows only filtered values when filtered on the same field used by unique types.
  • You can now sort data fields by the default sort order, display name, type, or field name from the Fields pane.
  • When choosing a font for labels and text sketch features, the new Map fonts list shows fonts that are being used by layers in the web map.
  • You can now customize your sketch symbol gallery by specifying a 2D sketch web style group.
  • Users with the appropriate licensing can now configure an indoor positioning data service in Map Viewer.
  • Oriented imagery layers can now be saved and duplicated.
  • You can now list the feature layers available in the layer list and overlay them on the selected image in the oriented imagery viewer.
  • Bar charts and box plots now support a custom sort option.
  • Charts are now supported for subtype sublayers from subtype group layers. For more information on supported layers for charts, see Configure charts.
  • Bar charts and line charts using a date field now support axis guides for dates or date ranges.
  • Bar charts can now be created using only numeric fields. The field name will be used as the categorical variable on the x-axis.

Scenes

  • Analysis tools are now available in Scene Viewer.
  • Perform viewshed analysis and save it in your slides to share with others.
  • Scene Viewer supports oriented imagery layers.
  • Create an empty 3D object scene layer in ArcGIS Online and upload 3D models in Scene Viewer.
  • Define a default 3D basemap for your organization to use in Scene Viewer.

For more information on what's new in 3D, see the What's new in Scene Viewer blog article.

App configuration

  • ArcGIS Dashboards includes several updates. Dashboard authors can now select different font options in a custom theme to enhance their dashboard. Map tools in dashboards now include options to measure distance and area in web maps and scenes. In addition, when the option to parse dates is enabled in serial charts, authors can set up date axis guides to represent a single date or a shaded area that represents a range of dates to provide additional context to the data. For more information, see What's new in ArcGIS Dashboards.
  • The major update to ArcGIS Experience Builder is the new Express mode. Express mode simplifies app building and includes all of the Web AppBuilder classic templates. One new widget is available in Experience Builder. The Accordion widget is a layout container that you can use to organize other widgets into a vertically stacked menu with expand and collapse buttons. Other enhancements include a new text tool for the Draw widget, support for setting custom filters at run time with the Filter widget, and support for subtype group layers. For more information, see What's new in Experience Builder.
  • ArcGIS Instant Apps has three new app templates and several additional updates. The Compare app template allows users to compare up to four maps or scenes side-by-side. The Observer app template allows users to explore a scene's layers with time and attribute filters, as well as a dynamic summary statistics scoreboard. Streamflow Viewer is a new app template that allows fast visualization to explore streamflow forecasts and animate those changes over time. For more information, see What's new in Instant Apps.

Content management

  • ArcGIS Data Pipelines users can create data pipeline and data store items from My content then use them to build data integration workflows in the Data Pipelines app.
  • When you share a hosted feature layer with a shared update group, group members can update the layers using the contents of a file.
  • You can create an empty hosted 3D object scene layer, which you add to Scene Viewer to create content in the layer.
  • You can now overwrite metadata for an item using the metadata of another item.
  • You can define a schedule to rebuild a hosted vector tile layer's cache.
  • You can now overwrite a hosted feature layer using a service definition file.

Notebooks

  • New versions of ArcGIS API for Python, ArcPy, and Python libraries are now available in the notebook runtimes.
  • Notebook authors with publish web tools privileges can now configure input parameters that are optional or have a choice list for notebook web tools. Additionally, you can now copy over the parameters of a notebook when saving it as a new notebook.

Spatial analysis

  • ModelBuilder (beta) is now available in Map Viewer. ModelBuilder is an interactive canvas for building analysis workflows using the feature analysis tools available in Map Viewer. For more information, see ModelBuilder (beta) overview.
  • Distance Accumulation and Distance Allocation raster functions have two new options for the Vertical factor parameter: Hiking time and Bidirectional hiking time. The performance of these tools has also been improved if the Distance method parameter value is Geodesic, or if the Vertical factor or Horizontal factor parameters are set.
  • The Geographic transformations environment setting is now available for raster tools and raster functions.

Accounts and administration

  • API key token authors can configure the token's scope to only the required permissions for the workflow.
