Fall NEARC 2024

ArcGIS Dashboards allow GIS users to create webpages which enable audiences with a range of GIS experience to explore maps and data in an interactive, engaging way. While producing a basic dashboard is not very difficult, the process of arriving at the correct balance of form and function to craft a truly useful dashboard can be challenging and often requires a great deal of experimentation. Determining the “best” use of ArcGIS Dashboards for a specific purpose involves a combination of personal and organizational sensibilities with an awareness of the possibilities presented by the technology. During this session, I will (hopefully) make this process easier for attendees by detailing some of the tips and tricks I have discovered while working on numerous dashboard projects, as well as, unveiling a newly-developed online resource to help GIS more easily start using these approaches in their own work.
