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 apps, ArcGIS Pro, and other ArcGIS mapping applications. Additionally, other Velocity users in your organization can create real-time analytics using shared feeds.

Share a feed

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

Share a feed in ArcGIS Velocity

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

1. Start 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.
4. In the Share pop-up, share the feed with your organization or specific groups.
5. Optionally, turn on the Share all properties toggle button to share all properties with other users.

   Note:

   Sharing 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 do not 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 with other users.

6. Optionally, turn on the Enable feed writing to all users who the feed is shared with toggle button to extend feed writing permissions to other users.

   Note:

   This parameter is disabled by default and is only available for HTTP Receiver and gRPC feeds configured with ArcGIS authentication. When enabled, any ArcGIS users that have the feed shared with them can send data to this feed when they provide a token with the request.

7. 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. Sign in to ArcGIS Online.
2. Go to the Content page.
3. Check the check box next to the feed you want to share, and click the Share button.
4. In the Share pop-up, share the feed with your organization or specific groups.
5. Click the Save button to share the feed.

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 real-time analytic in ArcGIS Velocity

To add a shared feed when creating a real-time analytic or editing an existing real-time analytic, complete the following steps:

Prerequisite:

The feed must be shared by its owner.

1. As the real-time analytic publisher, choose the Existing feed option when selecting an input feed.
2. As the real-time analytic publisher, in the content browser, browse 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, you can access it in ArcGIS Online by searching, browsing, or viewing group content. Then click Open in Velocity on the item details page. The feed details page opens in Velocity.

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

Open a shared feed using a URL

To share a feed with others using a simple URL, as the owner, complete the following steps:

1. Share the feed with the desired sharing level or groups.
2. Copy the analytic URL (for example, https://velocity.arcgis.com/.../feeds/ad17df68eac14b59a32be61f47047703/details).
3. Provide the URL to the user you want to access the feed.

   The user then browses to the URL, which opens the feed details page in Velocity.

Considerations and limitations

If a feed is shared with another Velocity user, they can 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 an analytic that processes data consumed by the feed.

Only the feed owner can edit, clone, or start a feed. Others who 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.
