Create an Interactive Dashboard using ArcGIS Online
Need to present data in a way that's visual, interactive, and easy to understand? ArcGIS Dashboards lets you combine maps, charts, and text to create web-based dashboards that clearly communicate your data’s story.
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you'll learn how to use ArcGIS Dashboards to display and explore openly available data through dynamic maps and charts—no prior experience needed. We will walk through creating a basic map and designing a dashboard that helps convey meaningful information to your audience through clear visual elements.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Use data from an open data portal to create a map in ArcGIS Online
- Design, build, and publish an interactive dashboard using ArcGIS Dashboards
This session is ideal for anyone looking to present data in clear and engaging ways.
Details: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This virtual workshop will be recorded and shared on the same page, and discoverable via the Sherman Centre's Online Learning Catalogue.
