Share feeds

Feeds created in ArcGIS Velocity can be shared with other users in your organization and to groups. Other users can add shared feeds to web maps, web applications, ArcGIS Pro, and other ArcGIS mapping applications. Additionally, other Velocity users in your organization can create their own real-time analytics using shared feeds.

Share a feed

Feeds created in ArcGIS Velocity can be shared to others using ArcGIS Velocity and ArcGIS Online.

Share a feed in ArcGIS Velocity

To share a feed in Velocity, complete the following steps:

1. Open ArcGIS Velocity and sign in.
2. On the Feeds page, open an existing feed to access the feed Details page.
3. Click the Share button to share the feed.
4. In the Share popup, choose to share the feed with your organization or specific groups.
5. Toggle the Share all properties parameter if you want to share all properties with other users.

   Note:

   Choosing to share all properties will share the username, headers, URLs, and POST body with other users. The password and secret keys will not be shared. If you choose not to share all properties, sensitive information such as the username, password, secret keys, headers, POST body, URLs, and more is removed. This ensures that you do not unintentionally share sensitive information such as credentials and API keys to other users.

6. Click the Apply button to share the feed.

Other users in your organization can now search for and find the shared feed.

Share a feed in ArcGIS Online

To share a feed in ArcGIS Online, complete the following steps:

1. Open ArcGIS Online and sign in.
2. Navigate to the Content page.
3. Check the checkbox next to the feed you want to share and click the Share button.
4. In the Share popup, choose whether to share your feed with your organization or specific groups.
5. Click the Save button to share the feeds.

Other users in your organization can now search for and find the shared feed.

Use a shared feed

If a feed is shared, you have several options available for using the shared feed in ArcGIS Velocity and ArcGIS Online.

Add a shared feed to a new or existing real-time analytic in ArcGIS Velocity

A shared feed can be added to a real-time analytic during authoring a new or editing an existing real-time analytic by following the steps below:

1. The owner of the feed shares it to the desired users.
2. The real-time analytic publisher chooses the Existing feed option when selecting an input feed.
3. In the content browser, the publisher must navigate from My Content page to the My Organization page and search for or browse to the shared feed.

Open a shared feed in ArcGIS Online

Feeds can be shared with a group or the organization. When a feed is shared, find it in ArcGIS Online via a search, browsing, or viewing group content and then by clicking Open in Velocity on the item details page. The feed details page will open in Velocity.

From the feed details page you can create a real-time analytic that ingests data from the shared feed.

Open a shared feed using a URL

A feed can be shared by the owner to others using a simple URL by following the steps below:

1. The owner of the feed shares it to the desired sharing level or groups.
2. The owner of the feed copies the URL to the analytic (for example, https://velocity.arcgis.com/.../feeds/ad17df68eac14b59a32be61f47047703/details).
3. The owner provides the URL to the user they would like to access the feed.
4. The user navigates to the URL which opens the feed details page in Velocity.

Sharing considerations and limitations

If a feed is shared with another Velocity user, they are able to visualize the feed in a web map or other mapping application. If the other user is a member of the same organization and has privileges to publish real-time analytics, they can create their own analytic that processes data ingested by the feed.

Only the feed owner can edit, clone, or start a feed. Non-owners that have access to shared feeds can only see a subset of the feed parameters.

Only users in an ArcGIS Online organization with Velocity enabled can open shared feeds in Velocity. Additionally, users must have a sufficient user type and role privileges to work with feeds. For details, see Create roles and assign users.

In the current release of ArcGIS Velocity, feeds cannot be shared outside the ArcGIS Online organization associated with the Velocity subscription. A future release will allow users to share feeds with others outside an organization.
