Create an Interactive Dashboard using ArcGIS
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.
