Hello! My name is Lindsey Danforth I love making web maps I once used all available credits in a day Had to beg ESRI to give them back Vowed to get my revenge and master ArcGIS Online

Credit Calculations Hard to estimate Testing Replacing Collecting Analytics …changes daily/hourly So watch daily credit consumption and adjust accordingly

Publishing Techniques To save your credits!

Hosted Service Types Map Notes Feature Collections Very small number of features or labels Feature Collections <1,000 Features Hosted Feature Services As it grows performance will slow Max records for display = 1,000 Can use for complex labels* Tiled Services Added through Tile Packages! Sometimes it makes sense to pull down data frequently from AGO.

NEVER* Publish as Tiled Mapping! *only use this option if you need a tiled service immediately and you don’t have ArcGIS Server

Make and share a Tile Package Uses your desktop to create tiles Only uses storage credits Enable Runtime Tools Set your Extent Share as Tile Package Image format tips Publish Tile Package

Publishing Large Datasets - Limitations Add Item – AGO Web Interface Limited to 1GB Desktop publishing Fails to publish “Packaging succeeded but publishing failed”

Publishing Large FS Datasets Stage as Service Definition Upload Service Definition GP Tool

Exporting Large Data Create Replica from REST endpoint Separate the layers that you want with a comma "0,1,2...“ Set geometry type Be sure to set "Return Attachments" to True Sync Model to "None“ Data format to "FileGDB"
