Create, edit, or delete a project

Once you sign in to ArcGIS GeoPlanner, you are prompted to choose to create a new project, open an existing project, or open a recent project. If you have no recent projects, you'll be prompted to create a new project or open an existing project.

Create a new project

This function creates a project using the selected template. The feature service containing the template layer structures and symbol sets is added to the project map. The data layers and basemap defined in the template web map appear in the project map.

1. Create the project by doing one of the following:
   • After signing in, click CREATE NEW.
   • If you have already signed in and opened a project, click the Open Menu button and choose Create.
2. On the Create Project – Select a Template dialog box, click Curated to display Esri-managed templates.
3. Click Select next to the template from which you want to create a project.
4. On the Create Project dialog box, type a project title, summary, and description.
5. Click Create.

   A new project is created. Each new project is created with a default scenario named Scenario A.

Open a project

This function opens an existing project.

1. Open an existing project by doing one of the following:
   • After signing in, click Existing on the Projects page.
   • If you have already signed in and opened a project, click the Open Menu button and click Open.
2. In the Open Project window, click My Content.
3. Click Open next to the project you want to open.

Edit project properties

This function allows you to edit the title, summary, description, and tags of the active project. You do not have these options for projects you did not create unless you are an organization administrator.

1. Click the Open Menu button and click Info.

   A panel appears showing information about your project.

   

2. Click Edit .

   The Edit Project Properties dialog box appears.

   

3. Type the title, summary, description, and tags for the project and click Save.

Delete a project

This function allows you to delete a project. Deleting a project deletes all of the associated items owned by you, including web maps, feature services, document items, and so forth. The project group and the entire project folder are permanently removed from your content in your ArcGIS organization. Once a project is deleted, the project is no longer accessible by any project member, including the original project owner. For projects you did not create, you do not have these options unless you are an administrator in your ArcGIS organization.

Note:

If a project is opened by a user other than the project owner, the system automatically creates a copy of the project with project defaults (project extent, bookmarks, active scenario, data layers, basemap, dashboard settings, and dashboard cards) in the user's My Content folder. These items are not deleted, as they are not accessible by the project owner.

1. If you have already signed in and opened a project, click the Open Menu button and click Open.

   The Open Project dialog box appears.

   

2. Click Delete in the item card of the project you want to delete.

   The Delete Project dialog box appears. Items associated with this project that will be deleted are displayed on this page.

   

3. Click Delete Project.
4. Click Delete Project again to confirm the deletion.

The project and the associated items created under your user account are deleted.
