Author maps

Executive Dashboard consumes maps that are tagged in ArcGIS Online with key performance areas and, in certain cases, a key indicator flag. Executive Dashboard displays maps in two primary formats:

  • Map reporting layers showing the trend of each performance indicator
  • Map showing features such as special events or capital projects with configured information pop-ups.

ArcGIS Online must be used to author, tag, and catalog maps displayed in Executive Dashboard.

Author Executive Dashboard maps

This process is the same for each layer, but the titles, tags and summaries vary.

The following steps author a series of maps using services published from sample data. When deploying Executive Dashboard with your organization's data, follow the same process, but remember the following:

  • The tags for each map are used to group maps into pods on the main Executive Dashboard page.
  • The titles of the maps display on the pods.
  • The Key Indicator tag is used to designate which performance indicator name and trend displays on the pod on the main Executive Dashboard page.

Begin building each of these maps by opening a new map in ArcGIS Online and choosing a basemap. Once the maps are built, share them with your Executive Dashboard group.
