ArcGIS Solutions provides industry-specific configurations of ArcGIS that align with your organization's needs and help you maximize your investment in location-based data and technology. These solutions leverage the power of ArcGIS and help you manage authoritative geospatial data, improve operations, gain new insight, and enhance services. Each solution includes one or more apps, surveys, maps, feature layers, and ArcGIS Pro projects that can be configured to meet your needs.
Many organizations deploy solutions and use them as is. Other organizations deploy solutions and configure them to meet specific needs they have. If a solution doesn't fit your organization's needs, it can still be used as inspiration for your specific project and the ArcGIS configurations you might create.
To deploy a new version of a solution, select the solution and click Deploy now. When you deploy the new version, a new folder will be created in your organization and the updated or new items will be placed in the folder. Existing items will not be updated or deleted.
Refer to the Upgrading to a new version topic for more details.
Yes. You can deploy multiple versions of a solution to a single organization. In the ArcGIS Solutions app, select a solution you have already deployed and click Deploy now to deploy another copy of the solution.
To differentiate between copies, you can rename each folder in My Content. You can also add a prefix to each solution item to simplify searching for content in your organization or portal.
After you deploy a solution, you can load existing data into the layers provided. Keep in mind that each of the layers are designed to support the maps and apps provided in the solution and, in many cases, will require content to function properly. If you do not have this content in your existing layers or data, the solution may not work as designed.
How can I gain a deeper understanding of the ArcGIS items included in a solution and visualize how the items work together?
To gain a deeper understanding of the items included with a solution, open the ArcGIS Solutions app and click the My Solutions tab. At the bottom of the solution card, click the View diagram button. The diagram that opens displays the items included with the solution and the dependencies between each item. Click an individual item to highlight related items. Turn on Filter selected view to focus on a specific item.
Yes. The ArcGIS Solutions website offers links to many learning resources, including Help documentation, as well as training courses offered by Esri Academy. You can see what's new in the current solution release and read the latest blog posts by ArcGIS Solutions product engineers.
