I am a volunteer in a local project.
I am using a personal license for Arcmap to create my gdb and features.
I need to send the features or map to ArcGIS Online where two others need to view the features in Map Viewer as part or our collaboration in this project.
I have studied and read for quite a few hours over the past few days but apparently am not comprehinding or finding the right information to make this happen correctly.
I have tried several methods, and come closest using the MXD to Web map tool. I created a new map project in Arcmap, and added only the key features. Then I used the MXD to Web map tool. I have tried to uses symbolgy and labeling, etc. but have resolved to simply adding the features in the Arcmap Map Document as they are. After many tries, often starting over with a new Map Document and adding the data again, I always get a lot of errors. But usually, a Web map is sent to ArcGIS Online's Map Viewer. On my last try, during writing this, the Web map was processed without error. That gave me 3 things in my content. A Web Map, Feature Layer (hosted) and Service Definition.
Viewing the content, I open the Web map, and there are errors for every layer which did not load.
I open the hosted feature layer and all seems well and save that with a new map name.
But I have read and studied so much and tried and failed so often, that his just seems like I just stumbled the right way this time. I need to understand better the probelms I encountered and why and how to push my feature data to on line confidently and knowing a bit more of what I am actually doing and what to avoid.
In addition; Can I not set up a map project with in Arcmap with Labels and Symbololgy and view extents and push that to ArcGIS On line?
Can someone point me in the right direction so i can avoid so many rabbit holes studying and reading material that is probebly not needed, or over my head at this time.
Thankyou
