For ArcGIS Online templates you do have the option to add data from a
CSV file into your data model. To add a CSV file, click the green button
on the bottom left corner of the ‘Data Model’ tab.
You can now choose one of the CSV files on ArcGIS Online to add to your
data. You will be asked to select a column from within the CSV file that
matches the values of the feature code field you chose for the base
geography layer. If such a column does not exist you will not be able to use
this CSV file in the data model for the selected layer.
The Publisher will validate that the selected column matches the codes of
the base geography layer. If it does, the columns of the CSV file will be
added to the left hand side list of available data fields. They can now be
used in the same way as if the columns from the CSV file were attribute
fields of the base geography.
If the Publisher detects a partial match between the code field selected
from the CSV file and the feature code filed of the base geography layer it
will give a warning and inform you on how the non-matching features/rows
will be handled in the final report.
M.2.4. Finalising the Report
After you have added all base geographies, contextual geographies and
background layers that you wish to use within your ArcGIS Online dynamic
report you can move on to the ‘Choose Settings For Your Dynamic Report’
step of the Publisher. Here you can choose one of the pre-defined colour
profiles or create your own one using the ‘Custom’ option in the drop down
list. If you are using the ArcGIS Online Area Profile (HTML Edition)
Template you will also have the option to choose which configuration you
would like to use for the report. Please refer to section ‘I. The InstantAtlas
Area Profile Template’ for further information on the different configuration
options and the required data structure for each of them.
You can also adjust the map margin on the ‘Advanced’ tab.
Once you are happy with the settings click the ‘Publish’ button. The last
screen of the Publisher will now give you the option to create a new Web
Application on ArcGIS Online or to save (or update) an existing Web
Application (Figure 219). The latter option is only available if you:
1. have opened an existing ArcGIS Online dynamic report through
the ‘File’ menu, or
2. have created a new Web Application beforehand in the same
Publisher instance (i.e. pressed the ‘Restart’ button).
Both options will launch the ‘Create Web Applications’ dialog box when you
select them. Please refer to the next section M.2.5. The ‘Create Web
Application’ Dialog for further information.
