Share and save your data

ArcGIS GeoPlanner allows you to share and save layers, items, and web maps.

Common operational layers and basemaps

You can share common operational layers by adding data to the project template web map. The operational data and basemap contained in a project template web map are automatically visible to all other project team members. When a user opens a project, GeoPlanner automatically creates a web map for the user, which is accessible on the My Content tab in the user's ArcGIS organization. All layers included in the project template web map are automatically added to this user's web map.

The project owner can use this capability to define data commonly used by project team members so that individual team members start with a common set of data.

Data layers

You can share a data layer with users inside and outside of your ArcGIS organization. Several sharing levels are available:

  • My Project—The data layer is shared in your project.
  • My Content—The data layer is shared with your ArcGIS organizational account.
  • My Organization—The data layer is shared with all members of your ArcGIS organization.
  • Public—Users outside of your ArcGIS organization have access to the data layer.

You can configure the sharing level for your data layer in the data layer's properties through the Contents pane.

Save a weighted raster overlay layer

You can save a weighted raster overlay (WRO) layer from GeoPlanner in two ways: download the layer as a .tiff file, or save it as an image service to your organization.

Download a WRO layer

Complete the following steps to download a WRO layer as a .tiff file:

  1. Open a project in GeoPlanner.
  2. In the Contents pane, click the Options button Options next to the WRO layer you want to download.
  3. Click Export Model.

    The Export Model dialog box appears.

  4. Click Download as GeoTIFF file, and click Download as GeoTIFF file again.

    A .tiff file containing your WRO at the active map extent is saved to your computer. You can open this file in ArcGIS Pro.

Save a WRO layer as an image service

Complete the following steps to save your WRO layer as an image service to your ArcGIS organization:

  1. In the Contents pane, click the Options button Options next to the WRO layer you want to save.
  2. Click Export Model.

    The Export Model dialog box appears.

  3. Click Export to a new image layer.
  4. Type a name for the new image service in the Result layer name text box.
  5. Optionally, check the Use current map extent check box to limit the extent of the WRO to save as a service.
  6. Click Run.

    An image service derived from your WRO layer is saved to your ArcGIS organization. The image service is added as a layer to the open scenario in GeoPlanner.

    Note:

    This process can take some time to finish depending on the current extent of your WRO layer.

Data items

Data items resulting from any of the app functions are automatically shared to the project group. All team members can access these items, which include the following:

  • Analysis layers resulting from any of the analysis processes
  • Exported items resulting from the Export function
  • Any data items uploaded using the Upload function
  • Web maps and web scenes resulting from the Export function
