ArcGIS for SharePoint user interface

The ArcGIS for SharePoint user interface (UI) includes the web part and the primary and secondary panes used for creating a map.

ArcGIS for SharePoint web part

In ArcGIS for SharePoint, you can display SharePoint lists, ArcGIS-hosted feature services, and ArcGIS web maps on an interactive map. The ArcGIS for SharePoint web part, like any SharePoint web part, has an edit mode and a run mode. For more information, see the Edit mode and run mode help topic.

With the ArcGIS for SharePoint web part, you can do the following:

• Add interactive maps to a SharePoint page.
• Add location-based lists or ArcGIS content to maps.
• Add context and precision to location-based lists with Esri Demographics data.
• Share maps and layers from ArcGIS with the public or with your organization.
• Locate your SharePoint content using location attributes by geotagging and geosearching.

Layers list

In ArcGIS for SharePoint, you can use the Layers list to add, style, and rearrange the layer order.

To display the Layers list, click the Layers button in the map tools. Each layer in a map is represented in the Layers list.

The following are the UI items in the Layers list and correspond to the numbers in the image above:

1. Expand layer contents—Expand or collapse the layer legend.
2. Active layer indicator—Identify the active layer.
3. Layer name—View the name of the layer.
4. Symbology—Open the symbology options.
5. Style options—Access symbol styling, clustering, and attribute styling.
6. Layer properties—Enable pop-ups, the visible range, labels, transparency, and automatic refresh using the layer properties.
7. Add—Add geocoded SharePoint lists and document libraries or add content from ArcGIS Online and your organizational account.
8. Close—Close the Layers list.
9. Share layer button—Share the layer to your ArcGIS organization. If you've already shared the layer, this button changes to Update layer.
10. Show legend card button—When the page is in edit mode, you can show the legend card on the map and give it a title.
11. More options—Zoom to the layer, duplicate the layer, view the layer in ArcGIS, or delete the layer.
12. Visible—Click to hide the layer. Click again to show the layer.

To return to the layers list, click the Layers tab .

Symbology tab

The Symbology button opens the Symbology tab, where you can select the active layer you want to work with and if there are specific fields, or data attributes, you want to symbolize. Select a symbol type (also known as smart mapping). The available choices in the Symbol type drop-down menu vary based on the layer and attributes you have selected. For more information about the symbology tab options, see the Symbol types topic.

Note:

Depending on how you created or added a layer—as the result of an analysis, for example—some functionality may not be available, and buttons related to that functionality are inactive.

Style options

The Style options button opens the Style options tab. On this tab, you can enable and configure clustering, adjust the layer's styling options (including any options unique to the symbology, such as classification methods), and adjust transparency and rotation by attribute. For more information about style options, see Change the style settings.

Layer properties

The Layer properties button opens the Layer properties tab. On this tab, you can enable and configure pop-ups and labels, as well as set the transparency, visible range, and refresh interval for the layer.

Share layer

Share the layer to your ArcGIS organization. This button is only active for layers added from SharePoint. For more information about sharing, see the Content sharing topic.
