1 00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:01,470 There we go. 2 00:00:03,610 --> 00:00:06,490 Some additional housekeeping is that throughout the session, 3 00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:10,900 feel free to use the chat to ask questions or clarifications, 4 00:00:11,140 --> 00:00:14,170 either directed at the session or maybe to your colleagues and 5 00:00:14,170 --> 00:00:19,300 classmates, my colleagues Sarah W. and Jordan F. will be helping 6 00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:23,170 to moderate the chat. So keep an eye on their names appearing, 7 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,500 appearing there. If you have any questions about zoom 8 00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:31,600 connectivity, or anything like that. I will be pausing at the 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,300 end of the presentation and demo for a little bit more of a 10 00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:38,020 discussion period to chat a little bit and maybe have an 11 00:00:38,020 --> 00:00:40,390 opportunity to unmute and discuss some of what we've been 12 00:00:40,390 --> 00:00:44,380 chatting about. There will also be an opportunity at the end of 13 00:00:44,380 --> 00:00:47,950 the presentation and demo to fill out a feedback survey. And 14 00:00:47,950 --> 00:00:50,470 I encourage you to offer some comments to help me better 15 00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:54,220 prepare content and delivery methods for future sessions. And 16 00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:57,100 to help me make the case for maybe offering more GIS 17 00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:04,480 workshops and future. While we'll be learning how to build a 18 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,570 dashboard and the demonstration portion, we should also be 19 00:01:07,570 --> 00:01:11,710 thinking about why we should build a dashboard. And as in the 20 00:01:11,710 --> 00:01:15,490 case with any new software, especially GIS software, we 21 00:01:15,490 --> 00:01:18,640 should always be thinking about that why as opposed to just 22 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,860 jumping right in and playing around with it right away. Some 23 00:01:23,890 --> 00:01:26,590 of the tips and tricks and information that I'm going to 24 00:01:26,590 --> 00:01:30,310 share with you about dashboards has been adapted from ESRI's 25 00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:33,820 introduction to ArcGIS, dashboards, tutorials and 26 00:01:33,820 --> 00:01:37,480 presentations. However, the demonstration portion today is 27 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,920 going to use real live Western researcher data from the 28 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,640 northern tornadoes project. So I have a link to that that I sent 29 00:01:45,670 --> 00:01:47,740 prior to this workshop. And that's what we're going to be 30 00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:55,750 using for our demonstration. I'm not going to spend much time 31 00:01:55,750 --> 00:01:59,710 charting out the wide world of GIS. There are courses, 32 00:01:59,710 --> 00:02:04,360 workshops, lectures, degree programs that cover all the 33 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,600 methods, definitions, analysis workflows, and interest 34 00:02:07,630 --> 00:02:11,320 intricacies of the software, hardware data and people that 35 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,190 make up the GIS world. There are a lot of different components. 36 00:02:15,370 --> 00:02:19,030 And something that I like to highlight for all new GIS users 37 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,230 is that GIS is something that comes in a lot of different 38 00:02:23,230 --> 00:02:27,880 flavors and complexities. You do not need to know everything 39 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,970 there is to know about GIS in order to get started using the 40 00:02:30,970 --> 00:02:33,910 software, the software like we're going to be looking at 41 00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:39,580 today with dashboards. Even myself as a GIS professional has 42 00:02:39,580 --> 00:02:42,520 been working in the field for about five years now, I don't 43 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,890 even know everything there is to know about GIS and it's 44 00:02:44,890 --> 00:02:48,400 definitely a lifelong learning process. There are GIS 45 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,970 professionals like myself to help you figure out where to get 46 00:02:51,970 --> 00:02:55,150 started, and GIS research researchers across the 47 00:02:55,150 --> 00:02:58,420 university to collaborate with if you'd like to pursue GIS 48 00:02:58,420 --> 00:03:03,250 further. That being said, I would like to share a brief one 49 00:03:03,250 --> 00:03:07,570 minute definition video of GIS before we delve into the GIS 50 00:03:07,570 --> 00:03:08,860 dashboard content. 51 00:03:15,060 --> 00:03:19,380 GIS stands for geographic information system. using 52 00:03:19,380 --> 00:03:22,860 computer hardware, software and a ton of raw data, we can 53 00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:26,040 explore the fundamental principle of geography, that 54 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:32,610 location is important in people's lives, using GIS we can 55 00:03:32,610 --> 00:03:36,690 view understand, question, visualize and interpret data in 56 00:03:36,690 --> 00:03:39,480 visual ways that reveal relationships and patterns which 57 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,040 allows us to make better decisions. For example, a 58 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,280 meteorologist might study the past of hurricanes to predict 59 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,880 where and when they might occur in the future. A city planner 60 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,270 can choose the best location for a new park or hospital, ensuring 61 00:03:54,270 --> 00:03:56,550 that they are built in the place where they're needed the most. 62 00:03:57,510 --> 00:04:01,080 GIS is essential to understanding what has happened, 63 00:04:01,230 --> 00:04:04,830 what is happening, and what will happen and geographic space, 64 00:04:05,250 --> 00:04:11,070 geographic and standing brings wisdom. And with wisdom, we can 65 00:04:11,070 --> 00:04:13,560 make better decisions to create a brighter future. 66 00:04:19,290 --> 00:04:22,590 Apologies for those couple of pauses there. I was admitting 67 00:04:22,590 --> 00:04:25,620 some people into the workshop. And if I click anywhere else, 68 00:04:25,620 --> 00:04:29,220 apparently that's it that pauses it. But thank you for, thank yo 69 00:04:29,220 --> 00:04:34,440 for observing that littl informative video about GIS. An 70 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,080 of course I am, like I sai available outside of thi 71 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,380 workshop if you want to cha about any other aspects of th 72 00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:46,530 GIS world. Moving now into GI dashboards, the reason tha 73 00:04:46,530 --> 00:04:51,000 we're here, GIS dashboard enable users to conve 74 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,990 information by presentin location based analytics usin 75 00:04:54,990 --> 00:04:59,010 intuitive and interactive dat visualizations, all on a singl 76 00:04:59,010 --> 00:05:04,110 screen. They can be built for lot of different purposes. Fo 77 00:05:04,110 --> 00:05:08,880 example, s3 breaks their ArcGI dashboard software into fou 78 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:14,010 categories of use, which the define as strategic, tactical 79 00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:19,470 operational and informational. strategic dashboard helps say a 80 00:05:19,470 --> 00:05:23,190 exact executive or a manage track things like ke 81 00:05:23,190 --> 00:05:27,000 performance indicators to mak strategic decisions about thei 82 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,990 organizational goals. Wherea something like a tactica 83 00:05:30,990 --> 00:05:34,530 dashboard will help analyst analyze historic data an 84 00:05:34,530 --> 00:05:38,910 visualize trends to gain deepe understanding. an operationa 85 00:05:38,910 --> 00:05:41,940 dashboard on the other hand helps operations staf 86 00:05:41,970 --> 00:05:45,510 understand events, projects o assets by monitoring thei 87 00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:49,140 status in real time. An finally, an inquir 88 00:05:49,170 --> 00:05:52,800 informational dashboard help organizations inform and engag 89 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,700 their audience through communit outreach. And there's a ton o 90 00:05:56,700 --> 00:06:00,060 overlap between these four us types. Depending on th 91 00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:03,540 dashboards goal, its audienc and the data that's bein 92 00:06:03,540 --> 00:06:08,070 incorporated into it. Bu ultimately, the GIS dashboar 93 00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:13,500 allows you to monitor assets events, study sites, activities 94 00:06:13,860 --> 00:06:18,600 in something like an ad glance, at a glance, web we 95 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,620 products that can be used fo decision making, provide ke 96 00:06:22,620 --> 00:06:26,340 insights, or even just allo users stakeholders and th 97 00:06:26,340 --> 00:06:32,070 general public to explore you data. Of course, because I'm a 98 00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:34,110 a university, I'm alway thinking about how this can b 99 00:06:34,110 --> 00:06:37,770 linked to research. Th dashboard itself can be used t 100 00:06:37,770 --> 00:06:42,510 convey research, objectives results, and overall increase 101 00:06:42,510 --> 00:06:50,280 the discoverability of researc data. Now, oftentimes, whe 102 00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:54,330 somebody is talking about a GI dashboard, they're referrin 103 00:06:54,330 --> 00:06:59,220 primarily to ArcGIS dashboards which is a specific web base 104 00:06:59,250 --> 00:07:04,740 GIS dashboard software availabl through ArcGIS. Online, whic 105 00:07:04,740 --> 00:07:08,970 Western has an institutiona site license for, this is how 106 00:07:08,970 --> 00:07:13,860 was able to set all of the UW attendees up with those ArcGI 107 00:07:13,890 --> 00:07:18,630 Online accounts. That bein said, there are other softwar 108 00:07:18,630 --> 00:07:22,560 that can be used to buil dashboards as well. And a lot o 109 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,320 the techniques that we're goin to talk about our transferabl 110 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:31,230 between software. I want t share this example as proof tha 111 00:07:31,260 --> 00:07:35,250 open source and non proprietar technology can be just a 112 00:07:35,250 --> 00:07:40,590 successful as the s3 route. Western University educatio 113 00:07:40,590 --> 00:07:44,970 Professor Prachi Srivastav recently launched this COVID-1 114 00:07:44,970 --> 00:07:48,720 School dashboard, which is a interactive tool that report 115 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,400 and maps confirmed schoo related cases of COVID-19 i 116 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,880 publicly funded elementary an secondary schools in Ontario 117 00:07:57,300 --> 00:08:00,360 and connects this data on schoo level social backgroun 118 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,560 characteristics and demographi data. I encourage you to explor 119 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,700 this as well as read about it i the recent and Western new 120 00:08:08,730 --> 00:08:11,850 article, which is all linked u there. And of course, thes 121 00:08:11,850 --> 00:08:14,670 slides will be shared afte after the session as well 122 00:08:18,660 --> 00:08:24,000 Why GIS dashboards. dashboards are like we've seen easy to 123 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,530 understand visual displays that present data in an easy to read 124 00:08:28,530 --> 00:08:32,670 digital format. all relevant information can be seen on a 125 00:08:32,670 --> 00:08:36,150 single screen, facilitating understanding quickly and 126 00:08:36,150 --> 00:08:40,680 easily. dashboards are relatively ready to use. And 127 00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:43,770 they include a robust suite of data visualization tools, 128 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,600 including maps, lists, charts, gauges, that are all drag and 129 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,740 drop enabled, which we'll see in the demonstration portion. And 130 00:08:52,740 --> 00:08:56,130 of course, dashboards are interactive. They don't have to 131 00:08:56,130 --> 00:08:59,370 be but they're most often interactive, which helps your 132 00:08:59,370 --> 00:09:03,390 audience answer questions and solve problems by giving those 133 00:09:03,390 --> 00:09:07,110 users a tool that they can interact with and discover more 134 00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:11,100 information about what they're looking at. dashboard elements 135 00:09:11,130 --> 00:09:14,400 are all linked together can be linked together, providing 136 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,120 dynamic results as users explore the data that they're that 137 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,690 they're looking at. And of course, dashboards are flexible, 138 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,720 you can build a dashboard that fits your needs and take 139 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,470 advantage takes advantage of the data that you have. You can pull 140 00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:31,410 in external content and integrate with other web apps. 141 00:09:31,710 --> 00:09:39,420 All of this is in your hands. However, the goal of a dashboard 142 00:09:39,420 --> 00:09:42,810 is not to see how many different ways that you can display your 143 00:09:42,810 --> 00:09:47,850 data, rather to strike a balance between usability, flexibility 144 00:09:47,850 --> 00:09:52,500 and explore ability, all with your end user in mind. It's very 145 00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:56,610 easy when we start looking at the software to add in a little 146 00:09:56,610 --> 00:10:00,420 bit of everything that you have at your disposal. And I would I 147 00:10:00,420 --> 00:10:04,560 would warn you to try and keep things keep things simple, right 148 00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:09,750 and think about your end purpose. This balance is 149 00:10:09,780 --> 00:10:12,990 obtained through a little bit of a trade off. By creating a 150 00:10:12,990 --> 00:10:16,380 dashboard that simple, you may have to sacrifice some of these 151 00:10:16,380 --> 00:10:20,730 really cool data visualizations. And actually, a lot of the 152 00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:24,330 principles of design theory can be applied to the building of 153 00:10:24,330 --> 00:10:29,070 GIS dashboards. For example, this quote by Don Norman, a 154 00:10:29,070 --> 00:10:32,040 cognitive scientists and usability engineer is really 155 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,580 applicable in our case, in that two of the most important 156 00:10:35,580 --> 00:10:38,430 characteristics of good design are discoverability. And 157 00:10:38,430 --> 00:10:42,660 understanding. The challenge, of course, becomes balancing this 158 00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:45,840 functionality versus usability in order to communicate and 159 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,770 share data in an effective and aesthetically pleasing manner. 160 00:10:50,490 --> 00:10:53,670 Let's look at an example here at the user experience pump pyramid 161 00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:57,210 on the left hand side, where balance should be obtained 162 00:10:57,210 --> 00:11:00,690 between product features such as usability, reliability, and 163 00:11:00,690 --> 00:11:03,960 functionality, and experience characteristics such as 164 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:09,480 significance enjoyability, and conveniency. A workflow that I 165 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,310 follow when building a new dashboard for a patron, is I try 166 00:11:14,310 --> 00:11:18,930 to plan out my goals, my data, My Maps my purpose prior to 167 00:11:18,930 --> 00:11:22,770 actually getting into the software itself. Then once I do, 168 00:11:22,770 --> 00:11:26,640 I try to build one or two prototypes of the dashboard that 169 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,750 I want to want to present, and test it through either formal 170 00:11:30,750 --> 00:11:34,620 usability testing, or informal usability testing, where I just 171 00:11:34,620 --> 00:11:37,980 observe the ways that people interact with what I've created, 172 00:11:38,250 --> 00:11:43,980 and explore the dashboard at their own pace. So even though I 173 00:11:43,980 --> 00:11:46,680 think that it might be intuitive, I do want to check 174 00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:49,410 that and see if it see if it does answer the questions that 175 00:11:49,410 --> 00:11:50,580 I'm hoping to answer. 176 00:11:58,230 --> 00:12:01,620 To summarize these qualities, the best thing that you can do 177 00:12:01,620 --> 00:12:05,490 when creating a dashboard is to keep it simple. And you can do 178 00:12:05,490 --> 00:12:09,300 this by knowing your audience expressing expressing 179 00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:12,690 information clearly, and focusing attention to where it's 180 00:12:12,690 --> 00:12:18,930 needed. More specifically, some qualities that you can focus on 181 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,800 are highlighting actionable information, using maps and 182 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,640 data, all of the elements on your dashboard should have a 183 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,900 purpose, they shouldn't exist just to exist. You should also 184 00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:35,130 be considering accessibility, you should use your screen real 185 00:12:35,130 --> 00:12:39,060 estate wisely. Think about designing your dashboard for 186 00:12:39,060 --> 00:12:43,110 mobile use. A lot of the dashboards that are created are 187 00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:47,310 not very transferable to mobile. And so you should try and keep 188 00:12:47,310 --> 00:12:51,600 that in mind as well. And you should try to provide a 189 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,780 narrative, so have a purpose that kind of carries out 190 00:12:54,780 --> 00:12:56,130 throughout the dashboard. 191 00:13:01,230 --> 00:13:05,850 Let's look at some examples. Now. The world has been filled 192 00:13:05,850 --> 00:13:10,110 with GIS dashboards recently focusing on data maps and 193 00:13:10,110 --> 00:13:15,150 visualizations surrounding the current covid 19 pandemic. There 194 00:13:15,150 --> 00:13:18,540 are a lot of challenges with presenting this data. The 195 00:13:18,540 --> 00:13:23,190 datasets are massive, they're consistently being updated. And 196 00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:26,940 they're from a variety of sources, which makes them very 197 00:13:26,940 --> 00:13:31,170 unwieldy to embed in a dashboard. First off, there are 198 00:13:31,170 --> 00:13:34,980 also challenges in that the general public are consuming 199 00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:39,810 this information at an exponential rate. dashboards 200 00:13:39,810 --> 00:13:43,740 highlighting COVID-19 data are being viewed 1000s of times a 201 00:13:43,740 --> 00:13:47,670 day, not to mention that the big dashboard that you've probably 202 00:13:47,670 --> 00:13:53,610 seen from Johns Hopkins has been viewed now over 2 billion times. 203 00:13:54,060 --> 00:13:58,050 I checked this two days ago, and it was at 2 billion, which is 204 00:13:58,050 --> 00:14:03,960 insane for a GIS dashboard. The audience is really going to 205 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,560 drive how you present COVID-19 information and you have to 206 00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:10,080 strike that balance between providing information that's 207 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,770 useful and informative, and making sure not to spread 208 00:14:13,770 --> 00:14:17,910 misinformation or even confusing visualizations that could just 209 00:14:17,910 --> 00:14:25,710 mislead your audience. Looking at this, this screen share here 210 00:14:25,710 --> 00:14:29,010 let's review those qualities that I highlighted about good 211 00:14:29,010 --> 00:14:34,050 dashboards and reflect on whether this dashboard is is 212 00:14:34,230 --> 00:14:40,110 meeting those those qualities. Do we know who the audience is 213 00:14:40,110 --> 00:14:44,520 meant to be at this dashboard? Is the information being 214 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,710 expressed clearly? Does the dashboard focus attention to 215 00:14:49,710 --> 00:14:54,300 where it's needed? I'll pause here if you want to share maybe 216 00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:57,270 any of your initial thoughts in the chat and then I'll share 217 00:14:57,270 --> 00:14:59,280 what what my opinions are of this 218 00:15:21,929 --> 00:15:22,499 Alright, 219 00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:27,180 so feel free to share at any point here in the chat if you 220 00:15:27,180 --> 00:15:30,810 would like to. But I'll share my thoughts here on what my first 221 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,470 first reactions were to this dashboard. And by the way, this 222 00:15:34,470 --> 00:15:38,340 is embedded on the COVID-19 Canada page. So there's a lot of 223 00:15:38,340 --> 00:15:42,780 different dashboards and, and explorable web apps that you can 224 00:15:42,810 --> 00:15:49,260 you can look at and analyze perhaps at a later date. I like 225 00:15:49,290 --> 00:15:52,980 that this dashboard is linking between COVID-19 cases and other 226 00:15:52,980 --> 00:15:55,920 information. In the case of this particular example, 227 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,510 socioeconomic and pre existing health conditions. Something I 228 00:16:00,510 --> 00:16:04,440 do not like is the limited interactivity that they've built 229 00:16:04,470 --> 00:16:08,340 into the dashboard, I don't really know where the data is 230 00:16:08,340 --> 00:16:12,030 coming from, there's not a citation or a link out to maybe 231 00:16:12,030 --> 00:16:14,820 where I could use this dashboard, or this this data to 232 00:16:14,820 --> 00:16:18,630 build my own dashboard. And a lot of the charts actually don't 233 00:16:18,630 --> 00:16:20,370 link between different elements. 234 00:16:25,559 --> 00:16:29,579 Let's look at another example from the COVID-19. Canada page. 235 00:16:29,729 --> 00:16:32,069 This one's a little bit different. It's highlighting 236 00:16:32,099 --> 00:16:36,149 regional trends. reviewing those qualities of good dashboards, 237 00:16:36,149 --> 00:16:39,329 again, let's reflect on whether this dashboard is meeting them. 238 00:16:40,109 --> 00:16:44,489 Do we know who the audience is meant to be is the information 239 00:16:44,489 --> 00:16:48,719 expressed clearly does the dashboard focus attention to 240 00:16:48,719 --> 00:16:49,769 where it's needed? 241 00:17:01,740 --> 00:17:03,810 my thoughts, my initial thoughts on this 242 00:17:03,809 --> 00:17:08,339 particular dashboard, or that, I like that it does link out to 243 00:17:08,339 --> 00:17:12,599 the data source, I can actually go and see the raw data and look 244 00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:15,569 at what it looks like in just a raw spreadsheet and maybe even 245 00:17:15,569 --> 00:17:19,349 incorporate it into my own dashboard. And I like that 246 00:17:19,349 --> 00:17:22,529 there's interaction built between the regional details on 247 00:17:22,529 --> 00:17:26,669 the right hand side, and the trend graphs and stats. So you 248 00:17:26,669 --> 00:17:30,809 can see as I click on different regions, the map zooms in the 249 00:17:30,809 --> 00:17:34,319 graphs change. The graphs are now you know, just filtering the 250 00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:38,549 region that I have selected. And I like that interactivity that's 251 00:17:38,549 --> 00:17:40,979 really taking advantage of the dashboard software really 252 00:17:40,979 --> 00:17:46,739 nicely. What I don't like is that the maps legend is almost 253 00:17:46,739 --> 00:17:50,639 larger than the map itself, it has a lot of different colors 254 00:17:50,639 --> 00:17:56,279 going on. And the map itself is quite small. There's also in the 255 00:17:56,279 --> 00:18:00,719 top right hand side, a very, very small province filtering 256 00:18:00,719 --> 00:18:04,259 drop down. And that seems really useful to me, and maybe should 257 00:18:04,259 --> 00:18:08,669 be in a better location so that I didn't, I was able to see it 258 00:18:08,669 --> 00:18:11,099 right away as opposed to having to look for it. 259 00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:21,660 Looking at these two examples side by side, what did we think 260 00:18:21,660 --> 00:18:25,470 of the colors, of course of dashboards, you've have to think 261 00:18:25,470 --> 00:18:31,260 about the aesthetics of them, as well as the elements that you're 262 00:18:31,260 --> 00:18:36,570 embedding and the data that you're using right. Now, some 263 00:18:36,570 --> 00:18:40,650 things to think about when using colors and designing sort of the 264 00:18:40,650 --> 00:18:46,710 aesthetics of your dashboard are to use some strategies to make 265 00:18:46,710 --> 00:18:51,510 it make it easy to follow. So I recommend connecting related 266 00:18:51,510 --> 00:18:55,650 data across dashboard elements using the same colors. If you 267 00:18:55,650 --> 00:18:58,650 have a chart highlighting a particular field in your data 268 00:18:58,650 --> 00:19:01,620 set, perhaps you want to have your map colored with the same 269 00:19:01,650 --> 00:19:06,480 the same color as well. Think about using your organization's 270 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,790 branding. So I've linked here, Western communications colors in 271 00:19:11,790 --> 00:19:15,270 hex code so you can grab all of the colors, the western purple, 272 00:19:15,270 --> 00:19:19,230 gray, and so on and use those. Something to keep in mind if 273 00:19:19,230 --> 00:19:23,580 your dashboards final resting place is going to be on say a 274 00:19:23,580 --> 00:19:28,650 main Western web page. Think about things like eye strain and 275 00:19:28,650 --> 00:19:32,100 harshness and dim lighting. And if you need to use more than 276 00:19:32,100 --> 00:19:35,220 seven colors in a chart or a map. Think about using a 277 00:19:35,220 --> 00:19:38,910 different type of chart or map or maybe even building groups 278 00:19:38,910 --> 00:19:43,590 within your the fields that you're using. Think about 279 00:19:43,620 --> 00:19:47,610 applying appropriate contrast and intuitive colors as well. 280 00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:52,290 And try out different versions color versions and play around 281 00:19:52,290 --> 00:19:57,120 with it, change it, adjust it ask people what they think until 282 00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:00,540 you land on something that truly is representative of of your 283 00:20:00,540 --> 00:20:06,840 data. Something else to think about when we get into building 284 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,460 our dashboards is the different types of dashboard charts, you 285 00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:14,250 want to start thinking about what types of charts, maps and 286 00:20:14,250 --> 00:20:18,180 visualizations are going to be most useful for your data. For 287 00:20:18,180 --> 00:20:21,840 example, if you have discrete data, so data that's broken down 288 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,170 into categories that might be best suited for a bar chart, 289 00:20:25,380 --> 00:20:30,210 whereas continuous data, something like something like 290 00:20:30,210 --> 00:20:34,920 events over time, maybe I'm more suited to a line or a smooth bar 291 00:20:34,950 --> 00:20:38,520 or smooth line chart. As you can see, in the bottom left example, 292 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:43,890 there crimes by our part to hold data could be could be displayed 293 00:20:43,890 --> 00:20:47,580 in a pie chart. Now I'm just saying pie charts are available. 294 00:20:47,610 --> 00:20:52,440 I actually really don't like pie charts because it's been proven 295 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,790 by some. Some scientists said people have a very hard time 296 00:20:56,790 --> 00:21:02,430 discerning amounts from angles, which is what pie charts do. So 297 00:21:02,430 --> 00:21:05,820 I've also linked in here pie charts, do's and don'ts. So 298 00:21:05,820 --> 00:21:09,510 really think about whether a pie chart is the best best chart for 299 00:21:09,510 --> 00:21:16,050 your data as well. In other words, don't build a Swiss Army 300 00:21:16,050 --> 00:21:20,550 Knife of charts, visualization, maps and links when all your 301 00:21:20,550 --> 00:21:24,690 users need to know is one thing, for example, total case counts 302 00:21:24,690 --> 00:21:32,190 of COVID-19 cases in Ontario. A final note of caution when using 303 00:21:32,190 --> 00:21:36,930 dashboards is to be aware of the limitations. My favorite most 304 00:21:36,930 --> 00:21:40,890 misleading thing to point out is that even though this is the 305 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,970 best COVID dashboard in the world, with its 2 billion views, 306 00:21:45,630 --> 00:21:48,930 it still falls short in providing a consistent scale 307 00:21:48,930 --> 00:21:53,250 visualization. So you can see as I zoom into this example, even 308 00:21:53,250 --> 00:21:57,510 though Canada has COVID-19 case count data available by health 309 00:21:57,510 --> 00:22:02,700 region and county, as we've seen in the previous COVID-19, Canada 310 00:22:02,790 --> 00:22:06,600 resources examples, this john hopkins dashboard actually 311 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,770 chooses to display Canada's data by province showing a stark 312 00:22:10,770 --> 00:22:14,760 difference between the information being displayed in 313 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:24,840 the US. I'll leave it there. I've listed on this slide some 314 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,920 resources, if you want to follow along with a tutorial that's 315 00:22:28,980 --> 00:22:32,610 specifically creating a COVID-19 dashboard using ArcGIS 316 00:22:32,610 --> 00:22:38,220 dashboards. But because I have researcher data at my disposal, 317 00:22:38,430 --> 00:22:40,980 I did want to create a demonstration today that was 318 00:22:40,980 --> 00:22:45,660 based on that as opposed to COVID-19 data. So think about 319 00:22:45,660 --> 00:22:48,360 this, using these resources, if that's something that you're 320 00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:56,610 looking to, to build or explore. I'm going to pause here for just 321 00:22:56,610 --> 00:23:01,830 a moment. If there are any questions at this point, before 322 00:23:01,830 --> 00:23:03,240 we get into our demonstration. 323 00:23:18,390 --> 00:23:19,710 That's totally okay. 324 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,180 I'll keep an eye on the chat still. And of course, feel free 325 00:23:24,180 --> 00:23:27,090 to contact me after if something something comes up that you 326 00:23:27,090 --> 00:23:30,360 think of an Oh, I should have, I should have asked that. more 327 00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:34,080 than happy to answer over email or in a in a one on one 328 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:34,890 consultation. 329 00:23:37,740 --> 00:23:38,340 All right, alright. 330 00:23:47,250 --> 00:23:49,980 Oh, so Malcolm has a question here replacing frames in a 331 00:23:49,980 --> 00:23:54,150 dashboard. If you drill down? I am a little unsure of the 332 00:23:54,150 --> 00:23:56,280 wording of that question. They'll come I don't know if you 333 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:02,160 want to clarify that for me. Such as drilling down into 334 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,600 health unit for province. So you're talking about setting up 335 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,750 some different scale visualizations. So as you zoom 336 00:24:09,750 --> 00:24:13,350 in, it loads in finer and finer detail. So maybe it starts at 337 00:24:13,350 --> 00:24:16,530 the province level. And then as you zoom in, gets into the 338 00:24:16,530 --> 00:24:20,550 health units, because that is possible it that does exist on 339 00:24:20,550 --> 00:24:24,150 some of the COVID-19 Canada dashboards, but it does not 340 00:24:24,150 --> 00:24:32,520 exist on that Johns Hopkins one. Yeah, so there are, there are 341 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,830 dashboards out there that drill down right into the health unit 342 00:24:34,830 --> 00:24:35,850 for each province. 343 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,300 Alright, so I'll reiterate here as well that there are the two 344 00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:48,510 different ways to engage with the demonstration portion, you 345 00:24:48,510 --> 00:24:53,910 can just sit back, watch, watch along, or you can participate. 346 00:24:54,270 --> 00:24:58,290 So you can use that ArcGIS Online login account that I sent 347 00:24:58,290 --> 00:25:04,110 prior to today's session. And then follow along with with the 348 00:25:04,140 --> 00:25:12,510 building of our of our dashboard today. I've broken up the 349 00:25:12,510 --> 00:25:17,130 workflow of building a GIS dashboard into four sections, 350 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:23,760 data, web layer, web map, and then ArcGIS dashboards. So 351 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,640 before we even get to the dashboard builder, there is some 352 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:32,130 sort of pre pre prep, I guess, just prep that we need to do to 353 00:25:32,130 --> 00:25:38,790 our data. Now, with the tutorial that I've built, I am giving you 354 00:25:38,790 --> 00:25:43,950 a web layer to start with. So the participation portion does 355 00:25:43,950 --> 00:25:50,100 not start until that step. But I did want to tell you how I got 356 00:25:50,130 --> 00:25:53,670 that web layer so that if you decide to build your own 357 00:25:53,670 --> 00:25:59,820 dashboard later on, you sort of know where to start. So we'll 358 00:25:59,820 --> 00:26:04,170 look at that first piece to start off with the data piece. 359 00:26:05,220 --> 00:26:09,150 Now, although our workflow today is using that already prepared 360 00:26:09,210 --> 00:26:13,020 and uploaded web layer, I do want to briefly mentioned what 361 00:26:13,020 --> 00:26:16,680 other routes are available for finding data or uploading data 362 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:21,210 that you may already have. Namely, that the first step is 363 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,890 always to see if the data you're looking for already exists. For 364 00:26:25,890 --> 00:26:29,490 example, the COVID-19 dashboards that we were looking at 365 00:26:29,490 --> 00:26:36,210 previously, were all built using existing data. Of course, the 366 00:26:36,210 --> 00:26:39,930 big draw to creating a GIS dashboard is using your own 367 00:26:39,930 --> 00:26:42,780 research data, and building something a little bit more 368 00:26:42,780 --> 00:26:47,910 custom. And I'm more than happy, of course, to help you in a one 369 00:26:47,910 --> 00:26:52,170 on one consultation to get your data sets prepared and uploaded 370 00:26:52,170 --> 00:26:55,350 for use in a dashboard. recommendations will be a little 371 00:26:55,350 --> 00:26:58,980 bit different depending on what your data looks like, what your 372 00:26:58,980 --> 00:27:02,310 data looks like now. But the main thing you want to think 373 00:27:02,310 --> 00:27:06,630 about when preparing your data for a web layer and upload into 374 00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:11,490 ArcGIS Online, is how you want users to interact with your 375 00:27:11,490 --> 00:27:16,470 data. So perhaps you have a spreadsheet with information 376 00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:20,730 about historic sites within London, Ontario, do you want 377 00:27:20,730 --> 00:27:24,210 users to be able to search by location, then you'll want to 378 00:27:24,210 --> 00:27:28,770 include columns describing the location of each site? Do you 379 00:27:28,770 --> 00:27:32,400 want users to be able to sort by other fields or information or 380 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,970 columns within your spreadsheet? If so, it may be worth adding 381 00:27:35,970 --> 00:27:38,010 additional columns for this purpose and for this 382 00:27:38,010 --> 00:27:43,260 exploration. Now, in the case of the Northern tornadoes projects, 383 00:27:43,260 --> 00:27:44,880 which is the data that we're going to be using for the 384 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,380 demonstration, the team wanted to be able to consistently 385 00:27:49,410 --> 00:27:52,800 update their data and have it feed automatically in directly 386 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,570 into a GIS dashboard. To enable this functionality, the team 387 00:27:57,570 --> 00:28:01,470 actually created an online survey using another software 388 00:28:01,470 --> 00:28:06,990 called survey 123. This data entry form allows team members 389 00:28:07,020 --> 00:28:11,250 to enter data for new events as they occur. And this data then 390 00:28:11,250 --> 00:28:14,250 feeds directly into the web layer that we're going to be 391 00:28:14,250 --> 00:28:18,540 using in this workflow. It's one thing to say it I do you want to 392 00:28:18,570 --> 00:28:23,790 share with you what that process looks like. And although we 393 00:28:23,790 --> 00:28:27,600 won't be creating a survey in this session session, surveys 394 00:28:27,630 --> 00:28:30,510 are a great way to build that pathway between data collection 395 00:28:30,510 --> 00:28:34,650 and web applications like dashboards. You can see through 396 00:28:34,650 --> 00:28:37,470 this example, that the forum collects information about a 397 00:28:37,470 --> 00:28:41,280 traumatic event information as well about where and when it 398 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,210 occurred, what damage it caused, what kind of storm caused the 399 00:28:45,210 --> 00:28:49,110 event, all sorts of information that the team found useful for 400 00:28:49,110 --> 00:28:54,180 searching and filtering. As data is entered into this form, it 401 00:28:54,180 --> 00:28:58,950 feeds into an online spreadsheet that is in itself a web layer 402 00:28:58,950 --> 00:29:03,450 hosted on ArcGIS Online, so that the data can be accessed in 403 00:29:03,450 --> 00:29:07,260 other applications, saving the team time from having to upload 404 00:29:07,260 --> 00:29:11,340 an Excel sheet every time there were new updates. And this also 405 00:29:11,340 --> 00:29:14,850 encourages a little bit of data entry collaboration between team 406 00:29:14,850 --> 00:29:18,450 members as well similar to what you'd see in a collaborative 407 00:29:18,750 --> 00:29:23,610 Google Sheet or Excel spreadsheet, right. And this 408 00:29:23,610 --> 00:29:25,830 would be a good solution if you're hoping to create a 409 00:29:25,830 --> 00:29:29,820 dashboard out of living or constantly updated datasets. 410 00:29:31,230 --> 00:29:35,400 On the other hand, you can just as easily upload an existing or 411 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,660 finalized spreadsheet for use in your dashboard. Let's take a 412 00:29:39,660 --> 00:29:44,670 brief look at that now as well. Here I have logged into my 413 00:29:44,670 --> 00:29:48,660 ArcGIS Online account and navigated to my content tab. 414 00:29:49,260 --> 00:29:53,220 Here I select the option for adding an item in the top left 415 00:29:53,220 --> 00:29:58,470 hand side and select Upload from my computer. This is just an 416 00:29:58,470 --> 00:30:03,000 example of a spreadsheet I have for archives in Canada that I'm 417 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:08,730 now uploading as a web layer to ArcGIS. online. You'll note that 418 00:30:08,730 --> 00:30:13,110 my spreadsheet has coordinate columns, in this case, latitude 419 00:30:13,110 --> 00:30:16,830 and longitude, that allow for the data to be automatically 420 00:30:16,830 --> 00:30:22,560 spatially linked and turned into points on a map. Your data can 421 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,010 alternatively have address information that will also 422 00:30:26,010 --> 00:30:28,890 automatically convert your spreadsheet rows to points on 423 00:30:28,890 --> 00:30:31,740 the map and your spreadsheet columns to information about 424 00:30:31,740 --> 00:30:36,360 each point shown as pop up information. So as I'm 425 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,980 populating this item, I'm giving it a title, I'm giving it some 426 00:30:40,980 --> 00:30:44,850 tags, a little bit of a summary. And I'm making sure that it 427 00:30:44,850 --> 00:30:48,480 knows what columns in my spreadsheet or my latitude and 428 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,920 longitude columns. And once it's uploaded here, you'll see how 429 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,300 it's visualized in ArcGIS Online. So now that spreadsheet 430 00:30:57,300 --> 00:31:01,410 that I had that was just rows and columns is points on a map, 431 00:31:01,410 --> 00:31:05,550 it's a spatial layer. And now I can use that that layer if I 432 00:31:05,550 --> 00:31:10,260 wanted to, to bring it into ArcGIS dashboards and build a 433 00:31:10,260 --> 00:31:12,510 dashboard exploring that data. 434 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,690 From these examples, we can see that a web layer is simply layer 435 00:31:21,690 --> 00:31:25,050 that's been shared to ArcGIS Online, and is therefore able to 436 00:31:25,050 --> 00:31:28,800 be added directly to web maps, dashboards and other products, 437 00:31:28,950 --> 00:31:35,970 such as ArcGIS, dashboards, perhaps survey 123, or even the 438 00:31:35,970 --> 00:31:41,550 story maps builder as well. Basically, all web layer is as a 439 00:31:41,550 --> 00:31:46,260 shared data layer in ArcGIS Online. And examples can range 440 00:31:46,260 --> 00:31:49,500 from what we've seen already with the spreadsheet example. 441 00:31:49,530 --> 00:31:54,900 And with the survey example, for the NTP data, then tornado data. 442 00:31:55,290 --> 00:32:00,390 But it could also be things like photos in a zip folder that have 443 00:32:00,390 --> 00:32:04,440 location attached to them already. This could extend as 444 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,430 well to imagery. And imagery could be something like 445 00:32:08,430 --> 00:32:11,910 satellite satellite imagery that you'd see in something like 446 00:32:11,910 --> 00:32:16,830 Google Earth, to maybe scanned historic maps that are linked to 447 00:32:16,830 --> 00:32:20,850 their spatial locations. So you can compare historic landscapes 448 00:32:20,850 --> 00:32:25,140 to current day landscapes. And of course, you can or you can 449 00:32:25,140 --> 00:32:28,650 look for already created spatial data in the form of points, 450 00:32:28,650 --> 00:32:32,100 lines and polygons. polygons could be something like our 451 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:36,060 health regions and Ontario, the the data relating to each of 452 00:32:36,060 --> 00:32:40,500 those health regions could be the COVID-19. Case counts. Lines 453 00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:44,460 could be things like rivers or roads, and data link to those 454 00:32:44,460 --> 00:32:48,270 could be information about the quality of the water in those 455 00:32:48,270 --> 00:32:53,040 rivers or the type of pavement used for the roads. And points 456 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,720 can be things like tornadoes and Canada information could be the 457 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:05,040 damage the maximum wind speed, when and where it occurred. And 458 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,610 we want to keep in mind with the data that we upload, whether it 459 00:33:08,610 --> 00:33:12,120 be the tornado data that we're going to use today, or your own 460 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,410 research data, what type of maps are going to be most effective 461 00:33:16,410 --> 00:33:19,890 for displaying the data that you're uploading. And you want 462 00:33:19,890 --> 00:33:22,890 to of course, take into account those design principles that we 463 00:33:22,890 --> 00:33:25,560 were chatting about earlier. In that we want to keep it simple, 464 00:33:25,590 --> 00:33:29,340 we want to keep it easy to read, easy to understand, and visually 465 00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:37,020 impactful for our users. This brings us to the webmap portion. 466 00:33:37,050 --> 00:33:41,820 So this is where I can bring you guys in a little bit for those 467 00:33:41,820 --> 00:33:45,450 who do want to participate and have you sort of follow along 468 00:33:45,450 --> 00:33:49,800 from this step. So I'll pause for a moment here and give you a 469 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,550 chance to sign into your ArcGIS Online accounts. 470 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:15,780 Before we get into the first steps. So how I formatted this 471 00:34:15,810 --> 00:34:21,210 this portion is I've tried to extract some loop videos that 472 00:34:21,210 --> 00:34:24,900 are going to play through just a couple steps at a time as we 473 00:34:24,900 --> 00:34:29,010 work on building our web map first, and then work on 474 00:34:29,010 --> 00:34:34,710 embedding that web map into a dashboard. So I'm going to try 475 00:34:34,710 --> 00:34:37,740 and let each of these steps play through a couple times so that 476 00:34:37,740 --> 00:34:41,670 you can see it more than once. What it is that we're doing in 477 00:34:41,670 --> 00:34:46,590 each of these different pieces. Let's start building our web app 478 00:34:46,590 --> 00:34:53,760 now. Our first three steps are highlighted here being that we 479 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,720 need to log in to ArcGIS Online first, and then we need to 480 00:34:57,720 --> 00:35:01,500 navigate to the map tab. So this will One of the options along 481 00:35:01,530 --> 00:35:07,350 the top of your login screen. Once you have the map tab open, 482 00:35:07,710 --> 00:35:10,530 we're simply going to add the web layer that we're going to 483 00:35:10,530 --> 00:35:15,780 use for our web map. And you can find this web layer by searching 484 00:35:15,810 --> 00:35:20,640 for events, summaries, underscore stakeholders, or just 485 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:27,000 event summaries. Something to note is that when you go to add 486 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,500 data, and then you search for data within ArcGIS, online, you 487 00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:36,150 will need to change the default, the default will be like just to 488 00:35:36,150 --> 00:35:40,920 your content, you'll want to make sure to change that to all 489 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:46,680 of ArcGIS Online, then you'll be able to see the publicly shared 490 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,460 event summaries layer that we're going to be using. So we can see 491 00:35:50,460 --> 00:35:53,310 that again, here, I've changed it, I actually changed it to my 492 00:35:53,310 --> 00:35:58,110 organization, because I know this data exists for the NTP 493 00:35:58,110 --> 00:36:04,200 group, exam, just typing in to the search box at the top here, 494 00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:08,880 event summaries. Then I'm selecting the plus sign next to 495 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:13,470 the NTP event summary stakeholder layer. And once I do 496 00:36:13,470 --> 00:36:20,160 that the data is added directly to the map. So watch this, 497 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,800 again, for those of you who are asking how to how to get to this 498 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:27,690 point. And maybe actually, at this point, maybe I'm I'll pause 499 00:36:27,690 --> 00:36:34,350 this for a moment and show you directly in my web map. So you 500 00:36:34,350 --> 00:36:38,910 should be seeing my ArcGIS Online now. So I'm going to open 501 00:36:38,910 --> 00:36:41,040 you'll kind of see a little sneak peek as to where we're 502 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,370 going with this web map. But I'm just going to slowly show you 503 00:36:44,370 --> 00:36:47,820 where that is. So we're in the map tab right now. And if you're 504 00:36:47,820 --> 00:36:52,350 still on this main login page, the map tabs located just third 505 00:36:52,350 --> 00:36:57,150 from the left along the very top. So if you open that map 506 00:36:57,150 --> 00:37:03,030 tab, that's what we're sort of seeing in that screen grab. And 507 00:37:03,030 --> 00:37:08,340 from that map tab, you're going to add, you're going to search 508 00:37:08,340 --> 00:37:14,730 for layers. And in the search for layers, you want to change 509 00:37:14,730 --> 00:37:20,100 my content to be my organization because we're accessing a layer 510 00:37:20,100 --> 00:37:24,570 that we don't own, but that the northern tornadoes project owns. 511 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:30,960 So by changing my organization, now I can type in event 512 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:38,250 summaries. And I'll be able to see the NTP event summaries 513 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:44,100 stakeholder layer. So we want to use that stakeholders layer. And 514 00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:48,210 we're going to select the plus sign next to it or the Add to 515 00:37:48,210 --> 00:37:48,690 map 516 00:37:48,870 --> 00:37:49,410 button 517 00:37:50,970 --> 00:37:56,370 to add it to our map. So I'll do that one more time for you guys 518 00:37:56,370 --> 00:38:01,470 as well, just to see in case you follow the steps, right. So in 519 00:38:01,470 --> 00:38:07,410 the nickleback, one here, when you log into ArcGIS Online, you 520 00:38:07,410 --> 00:38:11,850 first thing you want to do is open the map tab. From the map 521 00:38:11,850 --> 00:38:14,520 tab you want to go to add 522 00:38:15,150 --> 00:38:20,430 and you want to search for layers. Then you'll want to 523 00:38:20,430 --> 00:38:26,760 change this my content to my organization. And you'll want to 524 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:31,830 search for that event summaries stakeholder layer. So you'll 525 00:38:31,830 --> 00:38:36,060 want to add NTP events, summaries stakeholder to your 526 00:38:36,060 --> 00:38:36,570 map, 527 00:38:37,770 --> 00:38:38,430 like that. 528 00:38:40,230 --> 00:38:44,610 So I'll just go back to this. And if you need any further 529 00:38:44,610 --> 00:38:47,520 clarifications about getting that layer, just let me know in 530 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,090 the chat. 531 00:38:55,410 --> 00:38:58,410 This is the sort of the most important step because that gets 532 00:38:58,410 --> 00:39:00,750 you the data that we're going to be using throughout this 533 00:39:00,750 --> 00:39:01,530 demonstration. 534 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:08,460 All right. 535 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:18,300 Let's move on now to our second steps, which are to save our map 536 00:39:18,330 --> 00:39:22,170 and to make sure that it's shared publicly. So saving is 537 00:39:22,170 --> 00:39:25,110 really important, especially when you're working in a web 538 00:39:25,110 --> 00:39:29,490 software like ArcGIS Online, because if you go back or you 539 00:39:29,490 --> 00:39:34,260 navigate away from your your tab, it's not going to 540 00:39:34,470 --> 00:39:37,800 automatically save your work. So you want to make sure you're 541 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,670 saving throughout working on your map. And you can do that 542 00:39:41,670 --> 00:39:46,260 along the top along the top by using the save the Save button. 543 00:39:47,130 --> 00:39:50,640 So I'm saving my map now I'm naming it something informative. 544 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:55,470 So I know what it is. This map is summarizing. So I've named it 545 00:39:55,470 --> 00:39:59,310 tornadoes in Canada with dashboard workshop there as 546 00:39:59,310 --> 00:40:03,930 well. So I know I Use it in this dashboard workshop. You can see 547 00:40:03,930 --> 00:40:09,180 I'm also adding in some tags, this will allow for a data to be 548 00:40:09,180 --> 00:40:13,020 easily searchable within your content and discoverable by 549 00:40:13,020 --> 00:40:17,280 other people once you've shared it. And then I'm just saving it. 550 00:40:18,300 --> 00:40:23,370 So the second step here is to five is to share it. Now, I'm 551 00:40:23,370 --> 00:40:26,730 doing this at this point, you can come back and share it later 552 00:40:26,730 --> 00:40:30,930 on. But by sharing this web map, that will mean that other people 553 00:40:30,930 --> 00:40:34,650 are able to access it. And I'll be able to point to it in my 554 00:40:34,650 --> 00:40:42,570 dashboard step later on. So sharing it publicly, well, we'll 555 00:40:42,570 --> 00:40:46,620 just give that make it a little bit more discoverable. You may 556 00:40:46,620 --> 00:40:51,720 notice in the share options as well, that there are options to 557 00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:55,710 share it with individual groups, or just with the organization. 558 00:40:55,710 --> 00:40:59,430 So if I had selected my organization, it would only 559 00:40:59,430 --> 00:41:03,420 share it with people who were part of Western universities 560 00:41:03,420 --> 00:41:08,220 ArcGIS Online. If I shared it to a group, this is where I can 561 00:41:08,220 --> 00:41:12,960 maybe invite, you know, five or six collaborators who I'm 562 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,230 working with on this dashboard, I can invite them to a group and 563 00:41:16,230 --> 00:41:18,930 only share it with them. If we're working on maybe some 564 00:41:18,930 --> 00:41:25,320 prototypes. Yes, you do need to add a tag. So they, they really 565 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,280 want to encourage you to name your items and to tag your items 566 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,310 so that they're discoverable. So if you're trying to think about 567 00:41:32,310 --> 00:41:36,540 tags to add, I'm tagging and TP because those are the creators 568 00:41:36,540 --> 00:41:40,110 of the data. I'm taking tornadoes, because I want when 569 00:41:40,110 --> 00:41:43,050 people search for tornadoes for this layer in this map to come 570 00:41:43,050 --> 00:41:50,700 up. And I'm also I think, tagging Canada, because it's the 571 00:41:50,730 --> 00:41:53,490 it's the sort of spatial extent of the layer. 572 00:41:58,500 --> 00:42:01,830 Yeah, so some some direct messages here, just asking for 573 00:42:01,830 --> 00:42:05,370 some clarification on the sharing option. So we want to 574 00:42:05,370 --> 00:42:09,120 share it publicly because this is a map that we're going to 575 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,870 access in our ArcGIS dashboard. But if you only want to share it 576 00:42:12,870 --> 00:42:16,410 with a few people, you can share it with a group. Now that group 577 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,980 needs to be created first. And we're not going to get into that 578 00:42:19,980 --> 00:42:23,460 right now. But it's something I can definitely show at a later 579 00:42:23,460 --> 00:42:26,310 time, if you're looking to set up maybe a collaboration with 580 00:42:26,460 --> 00:42:28,170 your research team or something like 581 00:42:28,170 --> 00:42:29,850 that. Yeah, yeah. 582 00:42:31,380 --> 00:42:33,810 And actually, we're doing we're doing pretty good for time. So 583 00:42:33,810 --> 00:42:36,030 let me let me just show you what that might look like. 584 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,620 Let's go, I'm just going to navigate away from my map here 585 00:42:40,620 --> 00:42:45,870 to my main ArcGIS Online page. You'll see along the top here, 586 00:42:45,900 --> 00:42:48,750 there are options for some other things that we're not really 587 00:42:48,750 --> 00:42:52,830 going to look at today. But one of those is groups. And this is 588 00:42:52,830 --> 00:42:57,750 what that group option was in the share feature. And with 589 00:42:57,750 --> 00:43:03,690 groups, you can create a group. And this is how you would maybe 590 00:43:03,690 --> 00:43:07,230 create a research team, invite a few people and then you'd be 591 00:43:07,230 --> 00:43:14,190 able to share your dashboard with just those few people. Once 592 00:43:14,190 --> 00:43:19,320 that groups created, then in your map, when you go to share, 593 00:43:19,770 --> 00:43:23,040 you can select one of the groups that you're part of or that 594 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,130 you've created. So maybe I want to, you know, share this map 595 00:43:26,130 --> 00:43:29,160 with the northern tornadoes project team, that might make 596 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,730 sense. So I could select this box and share it with that 597 00:43:32,730 --> 00:43:36,150 group. I'm gonna just keep it as shared publicly for now. 598 00:43:38,610 --> 00:43:42,270 Alright, let me just go back to the slideshow here. So now that 599 00:43:42,270 --> 00:43:51,720 we've saved and shared, let's move on to the next steps. So we 600 00:43:51,720 --> 00:43:55,890 have two things that we want to do here now, the first being to 601 00:43:55,890 --> 00:44:00,900 rename the layer and to add a filter to the layer. Currently, 602 00:44:00,900 --> 00:44:05,280 the data that we've added includes data for a lot of 603 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:10,260 events, not just tornadoes, but severe wind events as well. So 604 00:44:10,260 --> 00:44:14,280 what I want to do is I actually want to filter down the points 605 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:21,720 on the map to only show events that are tornadoes. I also could 606 00:44:21,720 --> 00:44:28,320 add additional filters where I could specify what other fields 607 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,320 as well. So originally, when I was putting this together, I 608 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,400 thought maybe I wanted to also filter it down to only show 2020 609 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:40,530 events. But I changed my mind and decided to go with tornadoes 610 00:44:40,530 --> 00:44:42,630 from 2017 to 2020. 611 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,100 And I just wanted to show you what these options look like in 612 00:44:47,100 --> 00:44:50,070 a little bit of a close up because the symbols are a little 613 00:44:50,070 --> 00:44:54,240 bit hard to see. When you hover over that layer that you've 614 00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:59,760 added to your map. These are the icons that appear and the two 615 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,180 that we Want to use our the filter option, which is this 616 00:45:03,180 --> 00:45:10,890 yellow layer, and this white filter in the foreground. And 617 00:45:10,890 --> 00:45:16,200 the the Rename option is can be seen by selecting more options 618 00:45:16,230 --> 00:45:21,030 and then selecting rename. And you can do this in any order you 619 00:45:21,030 --> 00:45:26,730 want, you can either rename the data first, or you can rename 620 00:45:26,730 --> 00:45:30,780 the data force first, or you can filter first. And you can see 621 00:45:30,780 --> 00:45:35,340 when I select the filter, the filter builder comes up. So it's 622 00:45:35,340 --> 00:45:39,210 very, you don't need to know any coding for this. But it is sort 623 00:45:39,210 --> 00:45:45,630 of building a pseudo code out of some dropdowns. In the first 624 00:45:45,630 --> 00:45:49,590 drop down here, on the left hand side, what I've selected is the 625 00:45:49,590 --> 00:45:53,100 column for event type. And you'll see when you select that 626 00:45:53,100 --> 00:45:55,830 drop down, there's a lot of other options available. So you 627 00:45:55,830 --> 00:46:02,640 want to find the option for event type. The middle drop down 628 00:46:02,670 --> 00:46:05,700 offers you options for the code and the filter that you're going 629 00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:11,040 to apply. So I want the event type to be equal to a tornado. 630 00:46:11,070 --> 00:46:17,550 So I want event type is tornado. Which brings us to the far right 631 00:46:17,550 --> 00:46:23,850 hand side where the drop down now includes options that are 632 00:46:23,850 --> 00:46:27,120 filled in for that column. So in that drop down, you'll see a few 633 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,510 different event types. And the one that you want to select is 634 00:46:30,510 --> 00:46:36,270 tornado. Now, don't worry, I'm not moving on from that step 635 00:46:36,270 --> 00:46:40,230 yet, I'm just going to share this, the screen grab that some 636 00:46:40,500 --> 00:46:44,700 me doing those two steps. So you can see here, I'm changing the 637 00:46:44,700 --> 00:46:53,250 name of this layer to read NTP, 2020 tornados, what I really end 638 00:46:53,250 --> 00:46:59,130 up doing is renaming it again to be tornadoes since 2017, because 639 00:46:59,130 --> 00:47:03,840 I end up changing my filter. And you can see I'm, I'm adding in a 640 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:09,510 couple different filters to the data set. And you'll see when I 641 00:47:09,510 --> 00:47:13,530 select, I have my event type filter there already. But when I 642 00:47:13,530 --> 00:47:20,100 select year equal to 2020, it now stacks those two filters. So 643 00:47:20,100 --> 00:47:23,700 you can see I have a lot less events than I originally had 644 00:47:23,700 --> 00:47:29,580 when I added the data. Something to note about filters is is not 645 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:34,410 deleting any data, it's just hiding some data from the map. 646 00:47:35,370 --> 00:47:38,940 So you're not deleting anything, don't worry, you're just 647 00:47:38,940 --> 00:47:44,250 filtering it down to a subset of the data. I'll pause here for a 648 00:47:44,250 --> 00:47:46,500 moment to just let that play through one more time. 649 00:47:53,100 --> 00:47:55,320 And by all means, if you're using your own data, you might 650 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:59,940 not even need to add a filter, you might want to show all of 651 00:47:59,940 --> 00:48:02,970 your data and have the filtering left up to the user when you 652 00:48:02,970 --> 00:48:06,930 build your dashboard. So you don't have to do this step. But 653 00:48:06,930 --> 00:48:09,690 it is something something that I'm going to do with this with 654 00:48:09,690 --> 00:48:18,600 the NTP data specifically. Alright, so our next step in 655 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:23,520 editing our web map is to add a base map. Now, of course, the 656 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,990 base maps already there. There's a default base map in every map 657 00:48:27,990 --> 00:48:31,050 that you create. But you can change this and there's a couple 658 00:48:31,050 --> 00:48:35,010 different ways that you can change it. You can either select 659 00:48:35,010 --> 00:48:39,510 from the base map selector at the top options there next to 660 00:48:39,540 --> 00:48:42,570 next to add, you can either select one of the pre canned 661 00:48:42,570 --> 00:48:47,820 base maps. But you can also add and look within ArcGIS Online 662 00:48:47,820 --> 00:48:53,700 for some more creative options. Leah, great question. Yeah. So 663 00:48:53,700 --> 00:48:57,360 can you discuss the difference between value fields unique and 664 00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,820 the filter options? Yes. 665 00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:01,200 So 666 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:06,900 a value would be selected if you knew that data was continuous. 667 00:49:06,900 --> 00:49:13,590 So it had data from zero to 100. and everything in between field 668 00:49:13,620 --> 00:49:17,790 would be if you want it to be equal to a value from another 669 00:49:17,790 --> 00:49:23,310 field. And unique is when you know there's a set of categories 670 00:49:23,460 --> 00:49:27,960 within the column that you're filtering. So when we're looking 671 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:32,190 at our event type that is a unique selection, because we 672 00:49:32,190 --> 00:49:36,120 know in that event type column, there's only I think, four or 673 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:41,460 five different event types for the tornado data set. So it 674 00:49:41,460 --> 00:49:44,340 depends on what column you're pointing to, essentially. 675 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:45,900 I hope that that helped to 676 00:49:45,900 --> 00:49:46,530 clarify. 677 00:49:51,150 --> 00:49:51,900 Yeah, nice. 678 00:49:52,260 --> 00:49:55,170 Alright, so the first option, of course, is to use one of those 679 00:49:55,170 --> 00:50:00,000 pre canned base maps for my map that I was creating. I wanted to 680 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:05,220 Go with something a little bit more creative and impactful. So 681 00:50:05,220 --> 00:50:08,520 I'll move on to, to sort of another option another way that 682 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:14,340 you can add a base map. So I've kind of outlined where you need 683 00:50:14,340 --> 00:50:18,000 to go to do this, because it is a little bit sort of deeply 684 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:24,510 hidden within the ArcGIS Online set of layers. So your first 685 00:50:24,510 --> 00:50:29,250 step is to select Add again. And when you select Add, you'll want 686 00:50:29,250 --> 00:50:32,220 to change my content again, because that's the default, 687 00:50:32,610 --> 00:50:36,630 change my content to ArcGIS. Online, because we're looking 688 00:50:36,630 --> 00:50:41,220 now into the broader environment of all of the data here to 689 00:50:41,220 --> 00:50:49,680 ArcGIS Online. In Step three, here, we want to search for the 690 00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:53,250 base map that we're looking for. So you can just search for base 691 00:50:53,250 --> 00:50:56,220 map, and there'll be a bunch of options that come up, and you 692 00:50:56,220 --> 00:50:59,580 can sort of add them and take them off and see what they look 693 00:50:59,580 --> 00:51:02,580 like and sort of narrow it down from there. 694 00:51:03,180 --> 00:51:04,860 I knew that the base 695 00:51:04,860 --> 00:51:08,190 map that I had in mind for this was specifically called 696 00:51:08,190 --> 00:51:13,350 newspaper. So I also added in that additional search query. So 697 00:51:13,350 --> 00:51:16,590 if you want to use the same base map that I'm using, you can do, 698 00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:20,640 you can do that in the search bar. You also get a lot of 699 00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:24,150 different base maps. If you search base map creative, 700 00:51:24,180 --> 00:51:28,080 there's some interesting watercolor base maps, and sort 701 00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:32,820 of blue parrot print type looking ones. And specifically, 702 00:51:32,820 --> 00:51:37,350 when you're adding a base map from ArcGIS Online, you'll want 703 00:51:37,350 --> 00:51:44,160 to click on the layer to add to get this pop up next to it. And 704 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,820 when you see that pop up, you'll want to select Use as base map 705 00:51:47,850 --> 00:51:54,120 instead of add to map. This just allows you to hide that base map 706 00:51:54,150 --> 00:51:59,430 in behind your layers. So again, we're doing pretty good for 707 00:51:59,430 --> 00:52:02,910 time. So let me just show you what that looks like in my in my 708 00:52:02,910 --> 00:52:10,770 map here. So if I go to add, search for layers of search in 709 00:52:10,770 --> 00:52:15,360 ArcGIS Online, I'm going to search from the search for 710 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:21,060 basemap creative just for our example here. You can see 711 00:52:21,090 --> 00:52:23,940 there's a lot of options here. So let me just like just click 712 00:52:23,940 --> 00:52:26,400 on one, see what it looks like. 713 00:52:27,300 --> 00:52:28,770 That's kind of cute, but 714 00:52:28,830 --> 00:52:31,920 maybe not. Maybe it's too fancy for what I'm what I'm looking 715 00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:35,370 for. So I'm going to remove it again. And test that one out. I 716 00:52:35,370 --> 00:52:39,090 like that one I like that one kind of looks like out of out of 717 00:52:39,090 --> 00:52:43,110 an atlas or something. And you'll see that that sidebar 718 00:52:43,110 --> 00:52:46,140 that I was showing, it shows up if you click on the layer 719 00:52:46,140 --> 00:52:50,400 itself. And that's where you get this use as base map option. 720 00:52:51,540 --> 00:52:53,730 Right at the bottom under add to map. 721 00:52:55,650 --> 00:52:56,700 And this is really 722 00:52:56,700 --> 00:52:59,340 where you have a lot of freedom, right? You have a lot of 723 00:52:59,340 --> 00:53:02,610 different options, different things to select and edit and 724 00:53:02,610 --> 00:53:07,260 make it look like how you want it to be on your dashboard. So 725 00:53:07,260 --> 00:53:10,080 maybe you want to find something that matches your organization's 726 00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,440 colors. Maybe you want something that's a little bit more muted, 727 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:17,790 because you don't want the map to stand out too much. You want 728 00:53:17,790 --> 00:53:23,760 it to kind of blend into the dashboard. Wow, welcome. Great 729 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,580 question. I mean base maps with customizable labeling of 730 00:53:26,580 --> 00:53:30,000 features like cities, provinces, countries and water bodies. So 731 00:53:30,030 --> 00:53:35,460 within ArcGIS Online base maps, the labels are often kept as a 732 00:53:35,460 --> 00:53:40,440 separate layer. So you can remove the layers and add in 733 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:44,880 custom layers within ArcGIS Online. So if I come back here 734 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:52,590 to the ad and search, I think that if I search labels, yeah, 735 00:53:52,590 --> 00:53:56,520 so you can find labels that are in other languages, you can find 736 00:53:56,520 --> 00:54:02,610 labels that show show the name of countries and cities in the 737 00:54:02,610 --> 00:54:07,290 language of that country or city. And you can also upload 738 00:54:07,290 --> 00:54:11,610 your own right. So if you're an ArcGIS desktop user, and you've 739 00:54:11,610 --> 00:54:15,480 created your own base map in ArcGIS Pro, you can upload that 740 00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,570 to ArcGIS Online. 741 00:54:26,699 --> 00:54:29,369 So I hope that sort of answered it. There's a lot of base maps 742 00:54:29,369 --> 00:54:32,549 out there. And of course you can customize you can customize 743 00:54:32,549 --> 00:54:39,029 everything as well. Alright, so our next steps here in our web 744 00:54:39,029 --> 00:54:45,239 maps web map portion is to symbolize the data. So when we 745 00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:49,739 first added that NTP event layer to the map, it kind of just 746 00:54:50,399 --> 00:54:56,099 defaults the symbology to just what we have set as the default 747 00:54:56,099 --> 00:54:58,739 for that layer. And we might want to play around with that a 748 00:54:58,739 --> 00:55:01,949 little bit and make it look Little bit more, you know, 749 00:55:01,949 --> 00:55:06,539 finished finished. So to do that, if you hover over any of 750 00:55:06,539 --> 00:55:10,619 the layers that you have in your web map, you can select this 751 00:55:10,679 --> 00:55:15,539 little Circle Square Triangle symbology editor. And by 752 00:55:15,539 --> 00:55:21,479 selecting this, the symbology window opens here. And it kind 753 00:55:21,479 --> 00:55:25,289 of outlines the symbology window and a couple different steps. 754 00:55:25,709 --> 00:55:30,929 And these steps are kind of what you want to follow. So with the 755 00:55:31,169 --> 00:55:37,319 dashboard that I'm building, I decided to show my layer, I 756 00:55:37,319 --> 00:55:41,939 wanted to symbolize it by the fields in the layer for damage. 757 00:55:42,179 --> 00:55:47,699 So this is linked to the Enhanced Fujita skit, excuse me, 758 00:55:48,029 --> 00:55:51,899 scale for tornadoes, so each event that's entered by the 759 00:55:51,989 --> 00:55:58,649 tornado team into the layer is given a rating once they have a 760 00:55:58,649 --> 00:56:02,309 rating for the event. And I want to show those ratings as 761 00:56:02,309 --> 00:56:04,709 different colors on my map. So that's what I've selected here 762 00:56:04,709 --> 00:56:12,899 in number two. In the second step, here, select a drawing 763 00:56:12,899 --> 00:56:17,819 style, what you'll want to do is select the options under types. 764 00:56:18,389 --> 00:56:23,879 And what this will launch is a symbology editor. So we're kind 765 00:56:23,879 --> 00:56:27,899 of getting deeper and deeper down into editing these symbols 766 00:56:27,929 --> 00:56:33,449 one by one. So by doing that, you get this window here on the 767 00:56:33,449 --> 00:56:38,999 far right hand side. And what you can do is play around with 768 00:56:38,999 --> 00:56:42,929 some different symbology. So what I ended up doing is 769 00:56:42,929 --> 00:56:47,519 actually selecting each of these individual pins, one by one, and 770 00:56:47,519 --> 00:56:53,789 I've changed them two colors that match the Enhanced Fujita 771 00:56:53,789 --> 00:56:58,379 scale colors more or less. And I've also done some editing with 772 00:56:58,379 --> 00:57:02,369 the size of those features as well. So you can see, with the F 773 00:57:02,369 --> 00:57:06,659 Zero, I have sort of a very small green pin. And then as I 774 00:57:06,659 --> 00:57:11,789 get up to f4, I have a larger and larger pin. And I've also 775 00:57:11,789 --> 00:57:14,849 reordered them, so I've clicked and drag them around on this 776 00:57:14,849 --> 00:57:21,209 Some legends so that it's in order of, of damage severity, so 777 00:57:21,209 --> 00:57:24,899 that the EF fours are being drawn on top of the F threes, 778 00:57:24,929 --> 00:57:32,579 and so on. And I'll just move to, to this step. Now don't be 779 00:57:32,579 --> 00:57:35,789 Don't be overwhelmed with how fast this one is going. It's 780 00:57:35,789 --> 00:57:40,049 basically just showing how many different iterations it took me 781 00:57:40,049 --> 00:57:44,129 to come up with the symbology that I was happy with. The idea 782 00:57:44,129 --> 00:57:49,229 here is that everything is customizable. So you can try 783 00:57:49,229 --> 00:57:51,869 different things out, see what they look like and change your 784 00:57:51,869 --> 00:57:55,679 mind if you if you want to. So I originally I was I was looking 785 00:57:55,679 --> 00:57:59,999 at doing maybe a darker base map with some sort of glow effect 786 00:57:59,999 --> 00:58:04,289 pins on top for the events. And I didn't really like that I 787 00:58:04,289 --> 00:58:06,539 wanted to go with something a little bit more muted at the 788 00:58:06,539 --> 00:58:10,979 end, at the end of the, the symbology. And here I'm just see 789 00:58:10,979 --> 00:58:15,179 clicking and dragging them into the correct order. playing 790 00:58:15,179 --> 00:58:20,939 around with some some of the base map options, editing some 791 00:58:20,939 --> 00:58:23,669 colors and the base maps as well just to get something that I'm 792 00:58:23,669 --> 00:58:32,639 happy with. I'm gonna pull up my my final map here to show you 793 00:58:32,639 --> 00:58:34,169 what I landed on. So 794 00:58:35,130 --> 00:58:39,420 if I hover over my tornado layer here, select the symbology. 795 00:58:40,260 --> 00:58:40,890 And then my 796 00:58:40,890 --> 00:58:48,000 options. You can see this is how I organized my points. If I 797 00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:54,180 click on this green pin here, it'll launch this symbol editor. 798 00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:59,070 So now you can select different pins within this library of 799 00:58:59,070 --> 00:59:03,480 shapes. But you can also change the library that you're looking 800 00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:08,520 at. So you can look through some of these. The basic circles 801 00:59:08,550 --> 00:59:12,330 allow you to edit the colors and the outlines that are being 802 00:59:12,330 --> 00:59:17,100 shown. And then there's some other defaults here as well for 803 00:59:17,130 --> 00:59:21,180 topographic maps and maps that are showing features. And you 804 00:59:21,180 --> 00:59:26,100 can also upload custom images. So if you have a custom image 805 00:59:26,100 --> 00:59:29,820 for maybe a tornado that you've you've designed with your team, 806 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:35,310 you can upload those as well. We'll just cancel that and keep 807 00:59:35,310 --> 00:59:40,530 that open for a moment. And just pause here if anybody had any 808 00:59:40,980 --> 00:59:44,490 questions or comments on how to edit symbology. 809 00:59:52,949 --> 00:59:57,239 You mentioned Western University color scheme. Yes. Where can we 810 00:59:57,239 --> 01:00:01,109 see that? I assume it has hex codes. It does and it is linked 811 01:00:01,439 --> 01:00:05,819 in the slides, so you'll get that link later on. You can also 812 01:00:05,819 --> 01:00:10,409 just google search for Western communications hex codes, and 813 01:00:10,409 --> 01:00:13,529 it'll be one of the first things that comes up. So it gives you 814 01:00:13,529 --> 01:00:19,529 the hex codes that Western communications has asked us to 815 01:00:19,529 --> 01:00:24,479 use. And I think Sarah is pretty good at finding links and 816 01:00:24,479 --> 01:00:27,719 putting them in the chat. So if I could ask Sarah to dump that 817 01:00:27,719 --> 01:00:32,999 link in there, yeah. on it, I knew she would be perfect. Yeah, 818 01:00:32,999 --> 01:00:36,179 so Malcolm, the link will be there shortly for you to take a 819 01:00:36,179 --> 01:00:44,039 look at. Pull up this slide as well to show you some of the 820 01:00:44,039 --> 01:00:47,939 examples of the different maps that I was experimenting with as 821 01:00:47,939 --> 01:00:52,319 I was building my map. So you can see in the bottom right 822 01:00:52,319 --> 01:00:55,649 here, this is the map that actually exists currently 823 01:00:55,679 --> 01:01:01,919 online. On the NTP, the northern trans project Open Data site, 824 01:01:02,369 --> 01:01:06,239 this is sort of the darker contrast D version that I played 825 01:01:06,239 --> 01:01:09,089 around with, and then this is the one that I landed on. So 826 01:01:09,089 --> 01:01:11,969 it's a little bit plainer, a little bit more muted. And 827 01:01:11,969 --> 01:01:15,089 that's the one that I ended up using for my for my dashboard. 828 01:01:16,859 --> 01:01:22,319 So this son, this brings us to the end of the web map section, 829 01:01:22,349 --> 01:01:27,689 we now have a web map that we can now embed in ArcGIS 830 01:01:27,689 --> 01:01:31,199 dashboard. So this is the point where you definitely want to 831 01:01:31,199 --> 01:01:35,879 save your map again, and make sure that is shared. And then 832 01:01:35,879 --> 01:01:40,589 once you've done that, you'll want to go back to the Home 833 01:01:40,589 --> 01:01:45,719 button. So back to the ArcGIS homepage. Something to keep in 834 01:01:45,719 --> 01:01:50,819 mind is that even if you haven't landed on a final symbology, you 835 01:01:50,819 --> 01:01:54,269 can come back to this. So I can save this map, build my 836 01:01:54,269 --> 01:01:57,359 dashboard, and then go back to this map and decide I want to 837 01:01:57,359 --> 01:02:00,869 change something about it. And it'll automatically update that 838 01:02:00,869 --> 01:02:05,099 dashboard that you created in the next step. So you kind of 839 01:02:05,129 --> 01:02:08,099 press the pause button on this and come back to it later. 840 01:02:08,759 --> 01:02:11,819 Because symbology does take a lot of sort of trial and error, 841 01:02:11,819 --> 01:02:19,319 I'd say. There we go. So once you have saved your map and gone 842 01:02:19,319 --> 01:02:23,699 back to the ArcGIS Online homepage, the first thing we 843 01:02:23,699 --> 01:02:28,559 want to do is launched the dashboard builder. So this is 844 01:02:28,559 --> 01:02:33,119 the good stuff. This is getting into the dashboard itself. So in 845 01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:37,409 the in on the main page in the top right is something called 846 01:02:37,409 --> 01:02:41,399 the app launcher button, nine dots, otherwise known as a 847 01:02:41,399 --> 01:02:46,559 waffle icon. And if you select that, you'll see a lot of 848 01:02:46,559 --> 01:02:50,159 different applications that are all embedded within ArcGIS 849 01:02:50,159 --> 01:02:54,389 Online. And that's where the dashboard software lives. And 850 01:02:54,389 --> 01:02:57,119 that's where you can go to launch the dashboard builder. 851 01:02:58,499 --> 01:03:01,529 When you do that, you'll be met with sort of a blank page, 852 01:03:01,529 --> 01:03:05,609 because I'm assuming you haven't created a dashboard before. And 853 01:03:05,609 --> 01:03:08,729 from that blank page, you'll want to go ahead and create a 854 01:03:08,729 --> 01:03:14,189 dashboard like it did when we saved our web map. It'll also 855 01:03:14,189 --> 01:03:21,479 ask us to name the dashboard, provide some tags and summary as 856 01:03:21,479 --> 01:03:26,699 well. So summarizing what, sorry, what the dashboard is 857 01:03:26,729 --> 01:03:32,969 focusing on. So if we look at that, again, here's me opening 858 01:03:32,999 --> 01:03:35,819 the dashboard software and selecting in the top right the 859 01:03:35,819 --> 01:03:40,169 Create dashboard button. The title that I'm giving my 860 01:03:40,169 --> 01:03:45,479 dashboard is tornadoes or sorry, Canada, Canadian tornadoes, I 861 01:03:45,479 --> 01:03:51,629 think since 2017. Yeah, the tags that I'm adding are MTP, 862 01:03:51,659 --> 01:03:55,409 tornadoes, and Canada, because I want people to find it if they 863 01:03:55,409 --> 01:04:00,359 search any of those keywords. And then I'm creating my 864 01:04:00,359 --> 01:04:07,379 dashboard. The last thing we want to do in this first portion 865 01:04:07,379 --> 01:04:10,709 is to add that map add that web map that we just created in the 866 01:04:10,709 --> 01:04:15,029 previous step. So to do that, in the top, right where you see 867 01:04:15,029 --> 01:04:19,379 that big plus sign, you'll want to select the plus sign and 868 01:04:19,379 --> 01:04:22,799 select map. So you'll notice there's a lot of different 869 01:04:22,799 --> 01:04:25,439 things in that plus sign. And we're going to kind of go 870 01:04:25,439 --> 01:04:28,589 through and add a couple different things from that list. 871 01:04:29,099 --> 01:04:32,339 But it's also sort of your like one stop shop for anything that 872 01:04:32,339 --> 01:04:35,489 you want to add to the dashboard. those are those are 873 01:04:35,489 --> 01:04:38,099 where your options live, are under that plus sign. 874 01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:41,430 And when we add 875 01:04:41,460 --> 01:04:46,830 go to add map, we'll see all of the maps that exist within our 876 01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:50,970 ArcGIS Online account. So because we've saved that map 877 01:04:50,970 --> 01:04:55,170 that we created in the previous step, it's going to be probably 878 01:04:55,170 --> 01:04:58,050 if this is your first time in ArcGIS Online, they'll probably 879 01:04:58,050 --> 01:05:02,700 be your only map so far. So you can see here in my empty 880 01:05:02,700 --> 01:05:06,660 dashboard, if I go to the plus sign, and go to add map, 881 01:05:07,379 --> 01:05:10,859 I only have one to choose from. So I'm going to select that map 882 01:05:11,369 --> 01:05:14,999 and select a few of these options within the settings of 883 01:05:14,999 --> 01:05:18,359 the map. So I want people to be able to switch the base map, I 884 01:05:18,359 --> 01:05:21,569 want them to be able to see the legend and to be able to search 885 01:05:21,569 --> 01:05:25,259 within the map as well for locations. And then you can 886 01:05:25,259 --> 01:05:27,779 always go back to that and configure that later on if you 887 01:05:27,779 --> 01:05:31,319 want to change some of those. But here, I am just zooming in a 888 01:05:31,319 --> 01:05:34,769 little bit to how I want it to appear in my dashboard, a little 889 01:05:34,799 --> 01:05:42,989 more zoomed into Canada. Great. So now what we have is we have 890 01:05:42,989 --> 01:05:46,769 our web map. And we have a ArcGIS dashboard created with 891 01:05:46,769 --> 01:05:51,359 our web map embedded. The next things we're going to do are add 892 01:05:51,359 --> 01:05:55,619 some elements and link those elements together to create more 893 01:05:55,619 --> 01:06:02,189 of a dashboard experience. So if I move here to our next steps, 894 01:06:04,769 --> 01:06:09,659 we have are going to first add a list. And then we're going to 895 01:06:09,659 --> 01:06:15,269 format that list. So what the list does, is it allows us to 896 01:06:15,719 --> 01:06:20,339 link details about every feature in that and in that tornado 897 01:06:20,549 --> 01:06:24,209 layer, Link every feature in that tornado layer as an item in 898 01:06:24,209 --> 01:06:27,779 a list. And that list is going to be clickable so that users 899 01:06:27,779 --> 01:06:31,679 can click on something on the list, and maybe have an action 900 01:06:31,679 --> 01:06:34,649 on the map so that the map filters to only show the 901 01:06:34,649 --> 01:06:39,269 selected feature in the list. And if you're unsure what that's 902 01:06:39,269 --> 01:06:41,789 going to look like, we're going to go ahead and add this list so 903 01:06:41,789 --> 01:06:46,319 you can see for yourself. So the first step is to select that 904 01:06:46,319 --> 01:06:51,989 plus sign again, and select the list option sort of partway down 905 01:06:51,989 --> 01:06:56,399 here. When you select the list option, the first thing it will 906 01:06:56,399 --> 01:07:02,489 ask you to do is select a layer. So this is looking for a set of 907 01:07:02,519 --> 01:07:07,019 data. In this case, it's defaulting to prompt us to 908 01:07:07,019 --> 01:07:10,649 select the tornado layer in the in the map that we've created. 909 01:07:11,129 --> 01:07:14,279 But you could navigate to another layer as well, if you go 910 01:07:14,279 --> 01:07:17,549 to Select layer, you could decide to maybe format a list on 911 01:07:17,549 --> 01:07:20,759 a different data set if you wanted to. But we're going to go 912 01:07:20,759 --> 01:07:25,859 ahead and select that Default NTP tornado since 2017, this 913 01:07:25,859 --> 01:07:28,739 will maybe be named something different depending on what you 914 01:07:28,739 --> 01:07:35,219 renamed your layer earlier on. And from there, we get into the 915 01:07:35,219 --> 01:07:38,039 settings for that list. So this is where we're going to be 916 01:07:38,039 --> 01:07:44,189 formatting what appears in the list in our dashboard. And to 917 01:07:44,189 --> 01:07:49,979 kind of show you this a little bit more detail. I'm going to 918 01:07:49,979 --> 01:07:56,099 open my dashboard, here. So I'm going to hover over my existing 919 01:07:56,099 --> 01:07:59,909 list and select the Configure option to show you how I 920 01:07:59,909 --> 01:08:06,059 configured my list. So in the data, I selected, I wanted to 921 01:08:06,059 --> 01:08:11,099 sort my data by date. So I want to tap the most recent tornado 922 01:08:11,099 --> 01:08:14,939 at the top of my list. You can play around with this a little 923 01:08:14,939 --> 01:08:19,229 bit. You can sort by any field that's in your in your data 924 01:08:19,229 --> 01:08:23,489 sets. And you can sort neither an ascending or descending, you 925 01:08:23,489 --> 01:08:26,939 can actually add multiple sort features. So maybe I want to add 926 01:08:26,939 --> 01:08:30,719 in a date. And then if multiple events occurred on the same day, 927 01:08:30,869 --> 01:08:34,499 this is maybe where I want to go to event name so that it's 928 01:08:34,829 --> 01:08:40,829 alphabetized within the same day. If I go here underneath 929 01:08:40,829 --> 01:08:44,759 data to the option for list, this is where you can format 930 01:08:44,759 --> 01:08:48,989 what appears on the list itself. And this is really powerful you 931 01:08:48,989 --> 01:08:52,199 can make it when we were looking at that COVID example for 932 01:08:52,199 --> 01:08:56,549 regional trends. And we had that table built right into the list 933 01:08:56,549 --> 01:09:01,949 that showed a lot of information about particular areas, that is 934 01:09:01,979 --> 01:09:06,839 just a really detailed list so that the creators of that 935 01:09:06,839 --> 01:09:10,769 dashboard would have put a lot of work into formatting a table 936 01:09:10,769 --> 01:09:16,169 within this box here. I'm going to keep mine relatively simple. 937 01:09:16,169 --> 01:09:20,189 And I'm listening to my own advice about keeping the data 938 01:09:20,219 --> 01:09:23,399 the dashboard as simple as possible. And I'm just going to 939 01:09:23,399 --> 01:09:28,769 add event name, colon date. And to do that, if I just start from 940 01:09:28,769 --> 01:09:32,759 scratch here and show you, I go to this sort of squiggly 941 01:09:32,759 --> 01:09:39,809 parentheses drop down, which allows me to select columns from 942 01:09:39,809 --> 01:09:44,489 my spreadsheet. So this is where I want to select event name. And 943 01:09:44,489 --> 01:09:49,289 then I'm just going to type in a colon and do a space and then 944 01:09:49,289 --> 01:09:51,299 I'm going to add in date. 945 01:09:52,860 --> 01:09:56,520 I'm going to copy that and put it in the chat as well. So 946 01:09:56,520 --> 01:10:01,320 that's the the syntax that I'm using With that being said, I 947 01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:05,640 didn't do any of my own coding, I just used this drop down to 948 01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:10,080 add some columns to what I wanted to display on my list. 949 01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:14,310 And then you want to 950 01:10:15,870 --> 01:10:21,000 figure out how you want this linked to your map. So the next 951 01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:26,700 thing we're going to do is we're going to go down to the actions 952 01:10:26,730 --> 01:10:31,620 the actions first. And this is where you can set up some 953 01:10:31,650 --> 01:10:34,140 linkages between information on the map. 954 01:10:34,650 --> 01:10:39,810 So what I've done here is I've added in a filter so that when 955 01:10:39,810 --> 01:10:46,740 the selection changes for my list, I want the map to filter, 956 01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:50,970 and I want it to show a pop up. So I get rid of these and show 957 01:10:50,970 --> 01:10:55,620 you how I did that. Let's go to one selection changes add 958 01:10:55,620 --> 01:11:00,690 action, I want that filter option first. And I want the 959 01:11:00,690 --> 01:11:07,200 target for that filter to be the NTP tornadoes since 2017 layer, 960 01:11:08,460 --> 01:11:17,010 I also want to go in and show pop up on that map as well. I'm 961 01:11:17,010 --> 01:11:19,920 just going to pull up the next slide here to summarize what I 962 01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:25,350 just did for you. So I'm adding links between that list and 963 01:11:25,350 --> 01:11:30,150 between the data on the map so that there's some sort of like 964 01:11:30,150 --> 01:11:36,270 movement interactivity built into my list in my map. So I've 965 01:11:36,330 --> 01:11:41,730 add, added two actions, one to filter and one to show a pop up. 966 01:11:43,410 --> 01:11:47,250 And what that ends up looking like if I come back and just 967 01:11:47,250 --> 01:11:54,270 save my list there is that as I click on different events, it 968 01:11:54,270 --> 01:11:59,820 filters my map. So now it only shows one point for the pembrook 969 01:11:59,820 --> 01:12:05,280 event that I have selected. And then it also pulls up the pop 970 01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:08,700 up. So it gives my users some additional information about 971 01:12:09,090 --> 01:12:15,180 what that event what that event event was, what type of event it 972 01:12:15,180 --> 01:12:20,010 was, what classification it has, what the team observed about 973 01:12:20,010 --> 01:12:28,500 that about that event. So it's a pretty simple action. It's a 974 01:12:28,500 --> 01:12:32,340 pretty simple little list there. But already, you can start to 975 01:12:32,340 --> 01:12:38,400 see how users can discover information about that big data 976 01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:43,290 set that we uploaded. So instead of looking at a list of 100 odd 977 01:12:43,290 --> 01:12:45,870 events, they can maybe look 978 01:12:45,930 --> 01:12:46,680 at 979 01:12:46,830 --> 01:12:58,410 a specific event and get more information about that. Let's 980 01:12:58,410 --> 01:13:03,030 kind of move here to our next next element that we're going to 981 01:13:03,030 --> 01:13:08,340 be adding. And that is a serial chart. So we're going to go 982 01:13:08,340 --> 01:13:13,410 ahead and select that plus select serial chart. And we're 983 01:13:13,410 --> 01:13:18,300 going to format a little bit of a time series graph. Now there's 984 01:13:18,300 --> 01:13:21,900 a couple ways that you can do this, right. So you can 985 01:13:22,050 --> 01:13:25,590 symbolize it as a continuous line over time that shows the 986 01:13:25,590 --> 01:13:31,170 counts of tornadoes that have occurred over time, I opted to 987 01:13:31,230 --> 01:13:36,150 display this as a bar chart, simply because tornado seasons 988 01:13:36,150 --> 01:13:40,500 are sort of broken up into four month periods over the late 989 01:13:40,500 --> 01:13:44,730 spring, and summer. And so I thought the line graph would be 990 01:13:44,730 --> 01:13:49,590 a little bit misleading there. So here I'm just formatting some 991 01:13:49,590 --> 01:13:54,930 of my axes titles, you can see for this particular option, this 992 01:13:54,930 --> 01:13:58,080 particular dashboard element, there's a lot of different 993 01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:03,360 customizing that you can do for it. So this allows me to maybe 994 01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:08,040 build some groups, you can see I've labeled each of my bars 995 01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:12,840 with the count of tornadoes in that particular month. And then 996 01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:17,580 I'm also adding some actions into this chart as well. Then 997 01:14:17,580 --> 01:14:20,970 once I have that added, I'm dragging it around to put it in 998 01:14:20,970 --> 01:14:23,970 a little bit of a better location as opposed to having it 999 01:14:23,970 --> 01:14:28,410 take up half my dashboard. And you can see here how how 1000 01:14:29,310 --> 01:14:33,360 customizable it is each element you can size to be whatever size 1001 01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:37,470 makes sense. And you can drag and stack and move things around 1002 01:14:37,470 --> 01:14:41,970 to your heart's content. So here it is. Again, I'm just adding in 1003 01:14:41,970 --> 01:14:46,200 a serial chart. I'm pointing out the the data set that I want the 1004 01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:51,030 serial chart to be populated from. And then I'm formatting 1005 01:14:51,510 --> 01:14:56,040 what each category axis is pulling from so I have a number 1006 01:14:56,040 --> 01:15:02,400 of tornadoes on the y axis and I have Time or date of the tornado 1007 01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:07,920 along the x axis, and then it populates, counts within that 1008 01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:18,960 field. Some other things that I did to my serial chart is I 1009 01:15:18,990 --> 01:15:23,790 formatted some of the, if I just open up here, I'm just going to 1010 01:15:23,790 --> 01:15:30,030 go into the Configure for this serial chart. I configured some 1011 01:15:30,030 --> 01:15:35,370 of the colors to match the colors of my map. So within the 1012 01:15:35,370 --> 01:15:40,890 option for series, you can see I changed the color to match what 1013 01:15:40,890 --> 01:15:43,830 I had on my map. And you'll see in a moment here how I did that, 1014 01:15:44,310 --> 01:15:48,660 what I did was I used a pre existing Chrome extension here 1015 01:15:48,660 --> 01:15:54,270 called color picker to grab the color that I had on my map. And 1016 01:15:54,270 --> 01:16:01,500 I copied that hex code into the settings for my serial chart. So 1017 01:16:01,500 --> 01:16:09,960 I went in here, and copied that color over to here, which allows 1018 01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:12,780 my dashboard to have a little bit more of a look and feel to 1019 01:16:12,780 --> 01:16:18,630 it. This is a great time, if you haven't already saved your 1020 01:16:18,630 --> 01:16:22,380 dashboard tip, select that little Save icon in the top 1021 01:16:22,380 --> 01:16:31,770 right. Go. Alright, so this is sort of what I just showed here, 1022 01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:35,790 a little bit of a step slash tip to match colors across your 1023 01:16:35,790 --> 01:16:39,270 dashboard elements. So I'm bringing in the colors that I 1024 01:16:39,270 --> 01:16:42,630 used in my base map, I'm bringing those colors into other 1025 01:16:42,630 --> 01:16:47,850 elements that I have added into my dashboard already. So I'm 1026 01:16:47,850 --> 01:16:53,580 adding in that, that blue of the water to the the data in my map. 1027 01:16:54,570 --> 01:16:59,070 If I were wanting to maybe spend some more time customizing this, 1028 01:16:59,310 --> 01:17:03,300 I could maybe break the groups of each of those bars into 1029 01:17:03,300 --> 01:17:07,290 colors that match the colors of the EF scale damage points that 1030 01:17:07,290 --> 01:17:09,750 I have on my map, that might be a good idea that I'm just 1031 01:17:09,750 --> 01:17:14,850 thinking about now as I'm looking at this. And I'm just 1032 01:17:15,390 --> 01:17:19,230 going back and editing that list as well to include some more, 1033 01:17:20,370 --> 01:17:24,000 some more general formatting and color matching between the 1034 01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:28,920 elements. So you can see, what I have now is a list chart, and a 1035 01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:32,040 map that are all linked together and kind of have the same look 1036 01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:32,580 and feel. 1037 01:17:36,210 --> 01:17:41,070 Alright, so we're going to add one more thing to our dashboard, 1038 01:17:41,070 --> 01:17:45,270 because we're going for a nice, simple, straightforward 1039 01:17:45,570 --> 01:17:49,830 tornadoes since 2017 type dashboard. And what we're going 1040 01:17:49,830 --> 01:17:53,700 to do for that item is we're going to add an indicator. So if 1041 01:17:53,700 --> 01:17:58,050 I go to the plus sign again, and I select indicator, I just want 1042 01:17:58,050 --> 01:18:01,440 there to be sort of a number representation of how many 1043 01:18:01,440 --> 01:18:06,150 tornadoes are being shown, depending on what actions and 1044 01:18:06,150 --> 01:18:12,240 selections the user has enabled. So I'm labeling this, and I'm 1045 01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:16,950 making sure that it matches my look and feel as well. And then 1046 01:18:16,950 --> 01:18:22,950 I'm going to embed it and drag and drop it into a little bit of 1047 01:18:22,950 --> 01:18:25,530 a better location as well, because again, it just adds it 1048 01:18:25,530 --> 01:18:29,670 sort of taking up half the screen. So you can see I'm 1049 01:18:29,670 --> 01:18:34,530 naming my indicator, I'm getting rid of the last updated text 1050 01:18:34,530 --> 01:18:38,220 because I don't need that in this particular dashboard. But 1051 01:18:38,220 --> 01:18:43,770 that would show when the data so when the data from the team was 1052 01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:45,900 updated last in that in that survey. 1053 01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:56,250 So you can see I'm just doing a little bit of some formatting. 1054 01:18:56,250 --> 01:19:00,300 And I'm linking now and putting it in that corner next to my 1055 01:19:00,300 --> 01:19:01,260 serial chart. So 1056 01:19:01,260 --> 01:19:01,800 I have 1057 01:19:01,980 --> 01:19:05,460 my map as my main focal point and then these additional data 1058 01:19:05,460 --> 01:19:12,720 tools as sort of a border for my map. And I want to link that 1059 01:19:13,470 --> 01:19:18,150 indicator to my other actions as well. So to do that I'm going 1060 01:19:18,480 --> 01:19:24,900 and configuring the actions for my list so that my list changes 1061 01:19:24,900 --> 01:19:28,860 that number on the indicator and my my time series chart changes 1062 01:19:28,860 --> 01:19:33,900 that as well. So then my my final dashboard will sort of be 1063 01:19:33,900 --> 01:19:36,720 linked and will make sense with everything all together. 1064 01:19:43,860 --> 01:19:47,430 So the final thing that I'm going to do now that I have all 1065 01:19:47,430 --> 01:19:53,430 the elements I want added is I'm going to format some filters in 1066 01:19:53,430 --> 01:19:54,180 a header 1067 01:19:59,430 --> 01:20:02,760 So a question hear about how I'm dragging and dropping? Well, let 1068 01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:07,800 me just pull up my dashboard here, you'll notice if you hover 1069 01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:11,880 over any of your dashboard elements, there are four options 1070 01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:15,660 that come up. There's the drag item, which is how I'm dragging 1071 01:20:15,660 --> 01:20:19,950 and dropping. So if I select, if I click on that, and hold, it 1072 01:20:20,010 --> 01:20:24,390 loughs, me to move my map. So I can move it to different areas, 1073 01:20:24,420 --> 01:20:28,950 I can stack it on top of maybe my list. So you can see now I 1074 01:20:28,950 --> 01:20:32,370 can go back to my list of my map, not really effective, I 1075 01:20:32,370 --> 01:20:35,130 don't think I want want it like that. And I'm just going to drag 1076 01:20:35,130 --> 01:20:39,780 it and put it back to where it was, I'm going to drag this guy 1077 01:20:40,140 --> 01:20:48,540 down as well, there we go. So I like it like that. And it's not 1078 01:20:48,540 --> 01:20:52,080 working on your page. So I'll just reiterate the challenges of 1079 01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:55,650 doing this ritually. So Sujin, I can more, I'm more than happy to 1080 01:20:55,650 --> 01:20:58,620 set up a consultation and maybe troubleshoot why that's not 1081 01:20:58,620 --> 01:21:02,190 working for you. Things that I can think about are maybe you're 1082 01:21:02,580 --> 01:21:06,210 not logged in. So make sure in the top right, you're logged in. 1083 01:21:06,570 --> 01:21:09,570 And you might not be in the configuring dashboard option. So 1084 01:21:09,570 --> 01:21:12,390 if you're if you're just viewing a dashboard, you won't be able 1085 01:21:12,390 --> 01:21:18,270 to move things around. But that hover in the top left, top left 1086 01:21:18,270 --> 01:21:22,290 of every item that should come up and by selecting that drag, 1087 01:21:22,290 --> 01:21:23,880 you should be able to move things around. 1088 01:21:29,820 --> 01:21:35,790 Move back to my presentation here. So what the filters allow, 1089 01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:42,870 allow us to do are enable some more selections for our users. 1090 01:21:43,350 --> 01:21:46,800 So these are sort of the finessing details of finishing 1091 01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,840 up our dashboard to make it something that we want to 1092 01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:55,500 release to the public. So what I'm doing here is I'm adding in 1093 01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:59,790 you a header panel, you can add these filters in either as a 1094 01:21:59,790 --> 01:22:03,870 header or as a sidebar. So if you're familiar with the main 1095 01:22:03,870 --> 01:22:08,430 and TP dashboard on the Open Data site, the filters there are 1096 01:22:08,430 --> 01:22:12,360 built into a sideboard. Whereas here I'm building the directly 1097 01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:18,540 into a header. And the header allows you to add in categories, 1098 01:22:18,540 --> 01:22:22,080 selections, date selections, and number selections that are all 1099 01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:27,750 linked to your data as columns. So for this particular 1100 01:22:27,750 --> 01:22:31,650 dashboard, I'm adding in two filters. I'm adding in a 1101 01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:35,340 category selector for the F rating. And I'm adding in a 1102 01:22:35,340 --> 01:22:40,620 category selector for the parent storm type, which allow users to 1103 01:22:40,650 --> 01:22:47,940 filter by those fields. So now, user can select, say the 1104 01:22:47,970 --> 01:22:54,180 category selection for F two and see all of the F two ratings 1105 01:22:54,180 --> 01:22:58,350 that are that have been established for tornadoes in 1106 01:22:58,350 --> 01:23:04,230 Canada since 2017. I'm also adding in the parent storm type 1107 01:23:04,230 --> 01:23:08,640 as well for a little bit of another category selection. And 1108 01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:14,640 to show you in my main dashboard here, how I did that was I went 1109 01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:18,720 to the plus sign, and I added in the header. So because I've 1110 01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:21,750 already added it, it doesn't let you add more than one header. 1111 01:23:21,750 --> 01:23:26,760 But the side panel here would be another option as well. Once you 1112 01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:31,170 have that header added, if you hover over the header, and 1113 01:23:31,170 --> 01:23:34,440 select Configure, that's how you can configure the options of the 1114 01:23:34,440 --> 01:23:38,220 header itself. But this is also where you can add in that 1115 01:23:38,220 --> 01:23:42,000 category selector that I've added in. So add category 1116 01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:47,700 selector add number selector add date selector. These are options 1117 01:23:47,700 --> 01:23:51,270 just depending on what fields you want users to be able to 1118 01:23:51,270 --> 01:23:51,870 filter by. 1119 01:23:53,100 --> 01:23:54,150 So the one that I added 1120 01:23:54,150 --> 01:23:58,980 in here if I hover over it and enable my configure, again, is 1121 01:23:59,010 --> 01:24:03,780 I've selected categories from and I've selected group values 1122 01:24:03,780 --> 01:24:07,110 as my option because I want it to group values by that field. 1123 01:24:07,890 --> 01:24:11,730 And my category fields here I've selected from the drop down as 1124 01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:16,770 damage. Once you've selected that, you do have to select load 1125 01:24:16,770 --> 01:24:21,270 categories first, this allows you to edit the labels for each 1126 01:24:21,270 --> 01:24:24,330 of the fields. So you can see I'm just sort of adding some 1127 01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:28,200 nicer formatting to them. I want them capitalized because they 1128 01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:32,250 are abbreviations, and maybe for this one 1129 01:24:33,390 --> 01:24:34,260 adding in 1130 01:24:35,460 --> 01:24:44,700 in some brackets. Then what I'm doing is editing the actions so 1131 01:24:44,700 --> 01:24:50,850 that I have filters that apply to elsewhere on my dashboard. So 1132 01:24:50,850 --> 01:24:55,080 if I just get rid of all of my filters or all of my actions 1133 01:24:55,470 --> 01:25:03,600 that go to add target. I want my list to filter, I want my map to 1134 01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:09,390 filter, I want my indicator of number of tornadoes to filter. I 1135 01:25:09,390 --> 01:25:12,840 want my I think I want my time series to filter as well. So 1136 01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:18,510 once you're happy with that, you can add that in there. And now 1137 01:25:18,510 --> 01:25:22,950 you can see, I have some interactivity built 1138 01:25:23,250 --> 01:25:24,240 into 1139 01:25:25,530 --> 01:25:38,220 selection for my EF rating. And you can this is where this is 1140 01:25:38,220 --> 01:25:41,160 the stage where you can really start thinking about finessing 1141 01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:46,080 your final dashboard, you want to revisit some thoughts about 1142 01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:50,190 simplicity, is it answering the questions that you want it to 1143 01:25:50,190 --> 01:25:54,630 answer is it allowing users to explore think about 1144 01:25:54,630 --> 01:25:58,200 interactions, so does it make sense to have everything linked 1145 01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:02,040 together, or maybe just having the list in the map is enough, 1146 01:26:02,490 --> 01:26:05,220 giving that some thought and playing around with maybe some 1147 01:26:05,250 --> 01:26:10,200 different actions within all of these different items. And 1148 01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:13,260 basically, when you're doing all that finessing, you're just 1149 01:26:13,260 --> 01:26:17,130 going and hovering over each of those items in independently. 1150 01:26:17,370 --> 01:26:21,660 And configuring each of those to add in actions or to change 1151 01:26:21,660 --> 01:26:25,140 symbology, or change the look and feel or maybe even change 1152 01:26:25,140 --> 01:26:26,580 the column that's being displayed. 1153 01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:36,240 On note here about interactivity is that you don't have to make a 1154 01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:38,820 dashboard this interactive, you can have something that's a 1155 01:26:38,820 --> 01:26:43,470 little bit more standalone, more of a sort of report page that 1156 01:26:43,470 --> 01:26:46,980 you want to share with a group perhaps in a and end of year 1157 01:26:46,980 --> 01:26:50,850 report type situation. But interactivity does enable a 1158 01:26:50,850 --> 01:26:54,030 little bit of a deeper dive, meaning that those users can now 1159 01:26:54,060 --> 01:26:57,540 interact with different columns of information within your layer 1160 01:26:57,540 --> 01:27:00,660 that you're using triggering responses elsewhere in the 1161 01:27:00,660 --> 01:27:06,000 dashboard. Like what we were, we were creating there with the NTP 1162 01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:15,030 data. The final step in creating a dashboard is sharing it. So 1163 01:27:15,030 --> 01:27:19,770 here I'm just navigating back to my content. So in the top left, 1164 01:27:19,770 --> 01:27:23,910 selecting home, and then going to my content and making sure 1165 01:27:23,910 --> 01:27:28,110 that my dashboard is shared publicly. Now, what this allows 1166 01:27:28,110 --> 01:27:33,000 me to do is now share that link with people who want to maybe 1167 01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:37,260 explore the data and see a little bit more about it. I'm 1168 01:27:37,260 --> 01:27:42,480 also making sure that my item, once I'm ready to share, it has 1169 01:27:42,480 --> 01:27:47,700 a really robust description. So I'm adding in some information 1170 01:27:47,700 --> 01:27:50,640 about it, I'm adding in a title and making sure it has a 1171 01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:54,390 thumbnail so that I can share it with people and they know what 1172 01:27:54,390 --> 01:27:57,420 it is they're looking at, as opposed to just dumping them 1173 01:27:57,420 --> 01:28:01,800 right into the dashboard. So you can see here I'm embedding some 1174 01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:06,060 links, I'm adding in some Creative Commons licensing for 1175 01:28:06,060 --> 01:28:09,570 the use of my dashboard, making sure to cite that data that I 1176 01:28:09,870 --> 01:28:16,020 use from the NTP storm survey team. And if I sort of take us 1177 01:28:16,020 --> 01:28:19,230 out of that into what my dashboard looks like, at the 1178 01:28:19,230 --> 01:28:25,350 end, let me just go here to my ArcGIS Online homepage, to my 1179 01:28:25,350 --> 01:28:30,480 content tab. So these are all the items that I created as we 1180 01:28:30,480 --> 01:28:33,270 were working through that tutorial. So I have my 1181 01:28:33,270 --> 01:28:38,910 dashboard, I have my web map, I have, I saved a copy of my base 1182 01:28:38,910 --> 01:28:42,420 map. And then I have that, um, that other csvs, that other 1183 01:28:42,420 --> 01:28:45,360 Excel spreadsheet that I uploaded as an example as well. 1184 01:28:46,440 --> 01:28:49,770 But if I look at the details for this some dashboard that I 1185 01:28:49,770 --> 01:28:56,700 created, this is where I can edit and share to make sure it's 1186 01:28:56,700 --> 01:29:01,200 shared publicly. And then I can go down and make sure that 1187 01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:04,830 everything here is edited. So if I hover over any of these boxes, 1188 01:29:05,220 --> 01:29:07,920 I can type in some more information about what it is the 1189 01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:13,530 dashboard is showing. And maybe add information about where that 1190 01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:17,520 where people can learn more, and that that kind of thing. So if I 1191 01:29:17,550 --> 01:29:22,050 just view my dashboard here and copy the URL, I'm just gonna 1192 01:29:22,050 --> 01:29:25,230 throw it in the chat here if you want to take a look at the final 1193 01:29:25,230 --> 01:29:30,120 product of what we built today. So this will be a live link that 1194 01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:33,450 will allow you to look and search, not edit, just look in 1195 01:29:33,450 --> 01:29:36,930 search and my final version of the dashboard. 1196 01:29:45,870 --> 01:29:46,830 Elena that's 1197 01:29:46,830 --> 01:29:50,880 an awesome segue because yes, there are ways to embed it into 1198 01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:56,220 a website and that's my literal next slide here. So this 1199 01:29:56,220 --> 01:30:01,410 dashboard or the public version of this data board lives on the 1200 01:30:01,440 --> 01:30:07,140 northern tornadoes project website. So it has a place on 1201 01:30:07,140 --> 01:30:11,610 the Open Data main page. And you can see this is a little bit 1202 01:30:11,610 --> 01:30:15,120 more involved than the dashboard we made today. And because it 1203 01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:18,180 highlights a lot of different information in that in that 1204 01:30:18,690 --> 01:30:23,490 layer that we used, but it's used by the NTP team to track 1205 01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:27,090 usage over time, and to see who's really interacting with 1206 01:30:27,090 --> 01:30:32,040 the data. But you can see it's embedded right on a Western web 1207 01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:36,750 page as a little card here so that it matches the formatting 1208 01:30:36,750 --> 01:30:40,680 central communications says, okay, you can put it on the web 1209 01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:44,430 page, because you followed our hex codes and everything. And it 1210 01:30:44,430 --> 01:30:48,270 allows people to view it. So this is really what you want to 1211 01:30:48,270 --> 01:30:50,910 think about Once you've created your dashboard is where is it 1212 01:30:50,910 --> 01:30:53,460 going to live. And there's a lot of different options and 1213 01:30:53,460 --> 01:30:57,360 examples. So it could live on a conference website. If it's 1214 01:30:57,360 --> 01:31:00,450 something that's a little bit more standalone. Again, I'll 1215 01:31:00,450 --> 01:31:04,320 have these links shared in the spread in the PowerPoint that I 1216 01:31:04,320 --> 01:31:08,400 share after the session. You can embed it on the on an open data 1217 01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:11,580 site. So the northern trans project shares a lot of the data 1218 01:31:11,580 --> 01:31:15,330 that they collect openly. So alongside all of that open data 1219 01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:18,990 is the interactive components, the dashboards that they've 1220 01:31:18,990 --> 01:31:22,230 created for users to explore their their research data as 1221 01:31:22,230 --> 01:31:26,580 well. You can also embed it alongside other items. So if you 1222 01:31:26,580 --> 01:31:29,220 have multiple dashboards that are showcasing maybe different 1223 01:31:29,220 --> 01:31:33,450 projects within your department, you can have those portrayed all 1224 01:31:33,450 --> 01:31:39,180 together. And that brings us to a little bit of a summary here 1225 01:31:39,180 --> 01:31:43,740 about dashboards have different flavors, they can be as complex 1226 01:31:43,740 --> 01:31:47,340 or as simple as you need them to be. And they can cover more than 1227 01:31:47,340 --> 01:31:51,120 just Canada's tornadoes. And you can create a lot of different 1228 01:31:51,120 --> 01:31:55,380 dashboards just with that one dataset. So I wanted to share a 1229 01:31:55,380 --> 01:31:59,940 few examples from other Western researchers that highlight some 1230 01:31:59,940 --> 01:32:05,430 maybe different applications. The historic Canadian map viewer 1231 01:32:05,430 --> 01:32:08,940 is meant to be a collection based browsing tool highlighting 1232 01:32:08,940 --> 01:32:12,870 high resolution map scans their locations, as well as their 1233 01:32:12,870 --> 01:32:17,400 metadata details. This dashboard was built using two prototypes 1234 01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:20,550 and results from some user testing and interviews that Sara 1235 01:32:20,550 --> 01:32:24,660 helped me with. Thank you, Sara. You can see I have some filters 1236 01:32:24,660 --> 01:32:28,710 bit built into a side panel. I also have some searching built 1237 01:32:28,710 --> 01:32:32,970 into a header. And I have a really robust list populated 1238 01:32:32,970 --> 01:32:37,530 with all of those metadata details that links to the areas 1239 01:32:37,530 --> 01:32:45,660 on the map that each of these scanned maps covers. Another 1240 01:32:45,660 --> 01:32:49,410 example is from the loyalists migrations project. This 1241 01:32:49,410 --> 01:32:54,630 dashboard is data centric, and is created by a team of Huron 1242 01:32:54,630 --> 01:32:59,910 researchers spearheaded by Tim capo, who embeds their project 1243 01:32:59,910 --> 01:33:04,470 so their dashboard lives on a project landing page. The 1244 01:33:04,470 --> 01:33:07,920 dashboard itself focuses on pads and events of individual 1245 01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:12,300 loyalists families as they left America after the Civil War. But 1246 01:33:12,300 --> 01:33:14,910 the dashboard is also meant to show progress of the 1247 01:33:14,910 --> 01:33:20,160 digitization project. So as the team enters more data, it's 1248 01:33:20,220 --> 01:33:24,600 added into the into the dashboard and into the map. And 1249 01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:27,420 each individual piece of this dashboard is also available as 1250 01:33:27,450 --> 01:33:30,540 open data. So you could see earlier on in the screen 1251 01:33:30,540 --> 01:33:35,910 recording where it lives on the sort of Huron main project page. 1252 01:33:38,580 --> 01:33:42,000 Another example is the here on community History Center 1253 01:33:43,020 --> 01:33:46,590 collaborative mapping page where they have several notable 1254 01:33:46,590 --> 01:33:49,320 dashboards and projects including this the hidden 1255 01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:52,560 histories of southwestern Ontario project from Tom piece. 1256 01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:55,410 But what Tom has done is actually embedded a public 1257 01:33:55,410 --> 01:33:58,500 submission form to collect hidden histories from the 1258 01:33:58,500 --> 01:34:03,330 general public. And these public submissions are added directly 1259 01:34:03,330 --> 01:34:07,860 to the map live. Of course, new features, every new submission 1260 01:34:07,860 --> 01:34:11,670 is emailed directly to Tom via a Microsoft Flow that we've set up 1261 01:34:11,670 --> 01:34:14,160 so that he's able to check on them as they come in and make 1262 01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:18,120 sure that all of the fields were populated correctly, and that 1263 01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:18,570 there's no 1264 01:34:18,570 --> 01:34:25,440 spelling errors and that type of thing. So you can see just from 1265 01:34:25,440 --> 01:34:29,010 these few examples that there are all sorts of GIS dashboard 1266 01:34:29,010 --> 01:34:32,700 examples out there for you to use as inspiration. And if you 1267 01:34:32,700 --> 01:34:36,720 don't see one that fits your vision, that's okay, I encourage 1268 01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:40,950 you to be the first one to create a dashboard in your 1269 01:34:40,950 --> 01:34:45,660 mind's eye. Some tips here are just that if you see a dashboard 1270 01:34:45,660 --> 01:34:50,250 out there that you like, you can copy the layout and look at the 1271 01:34:50,250 --> 01:34:55,470 actions and configurations that they used by copying the source 1272 01:34:55,470 --> 01:34:58,410 code and there's a little bit of a tutorial linked there as well. 1273 01:34:59,310 --> 01:35:07,470 If you find One that you want to use as an example. So that was, 1274 01:35:07,650 --> 01:35:10,680 that was a lot of talking. But that's kind of brings us to the 1275 01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:14,190 end of our demonstration and presentation. Of course, if you 1276 01:35:14,190 --> 01:35:17,640 don't know where to start, that's okay, I am available to 1277 01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:21,120 help you outside of this session. And we'd be happy to 1278 01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:23,940 meet one on one with you to get you up and running with your own 1279 01:35:23,940 --> 01:35:27,990 GIS data projects, maybe even to convert data that you might not 1280 01:35:27,990 --> 01:35:31,470 think of spatially enabled to be uploaded at the web layer in a 1281 01:35:31,470 --> 01:35:36,390 dashboard. I'll encourage you again to take a moment to fill 1282 01:35:36,390 --> 01:35:40,410 out our feedback survey to help me continue offering GIS 1283 01:35:40,410 --> 01:35:44,070 workshops maybe on different topics that have piqued your 1284 01:35:44,070 --> 01:35:48,630 interest throughout this session today. And make sure as well to 1285 01:35:48,840 --> 01:35:52,740 check out the workshop that I'm running next week, March 11, on 1286 01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:58,140 introduction to story maps, another ArcGIS Online software. 1287 01:36:00,060 --> 01:36:04,650 I'll pause here for just a moment as people are maybe 1288 01:36:04,650 --> 01:36:08,280 filtering out and have to run and to answer any questions that 1289 01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:09,240 you guys might have. 1290 01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:17,460 Oh, thank you for the clapping. I appreciate that. It's It's so 1291 01:36:17,460 --> 01:36:20,850 tricky doing a virtual workshop and you can't see I can't see 1292 01:36:20,850 --> 01:36:24,060 everyone smiling at you. Thank you. Thank you. 1293 01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:34,890 Oh, yes. Remove the period at the end of the Qualtrics. survey 1294 01:36:34,890 --> 01:36:37,650 link. Yeah, here. Let me just throw that in there again. 1295 01:36:51,570 --> 01:36:53,580 Fair, I'll just throw that in again. Thank you for that 1296 01:36:53,580 --> 01:36:56,520 comment there, Malcolm. Oh, and Tara had already done it. Thank 1297 01:36:56,520 --> 01:36:59,790 you. Thank you, Sarah. That's why it's great. Having a good 1298 01:36:59,790 --> 01:37:05,430 moderators here to help me. This solved a few questions I had 1299 01:37:05,430 --> 01:37:08,520 about dashboards. That's great to hear cast. Thank you. Is 1300 01:37:08,520 --> 01:37:13,140 there a way to use dashboard in our preferred domain? Yeah. So 1301 01:37:13,140 --> 01:37:18,930 you can set up custom domains for products within ArcGIS 1302 01:37:18,930 --> 01:37:21,900 Online. And there's a few different ways you can do that 1303 01:37:21,900 --> 01:37:24,960 you if it is a little complicated right now in the 1304 01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:30,120 dashboard environment to do that custom custom link. And I'm 1305 01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:33,450 thinking that they're going to change that soon. But what I've 1306 01:37:33,450 --> 01:37:37,470 done to work around that as well as do a redirect. So redirect 1307 01:37:37,470 --> 01:37:42,180 from say, you know, lib.uw.ca, to a dashboard. I've done that 1308 01:37:42,180 --> 01:37:52,560 as well. Oh, um, Malcolm, great question. So that that dress 1309 01:37:52,590 --> 01:37:58,920 does sorry, that event name, date, code sort of thing that we 1310 01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:05,220 added? I don't think it's arcade code, per se. And it probably is 1311 01:38:05,220 --> 01:38:08,940 related to it. But it's sort of like those in between coding 1312 01:38:08,940 --> 01:38:14,130 languages that a lot of ArcGIS software's have, but arcade is 1313 01:38:14,130 --> 01:38:19,170 their main labeling software, language or programming language 1314 01:38:19,170 --> 01:38:23,790 that they use. So you can you can enable arcade coding within 1315 01:38:23,790 --> 01:38:24,630 dashboards? 1316 01:38:28,590 --> 01:38:33,510 To do yeah, so Sujin, the feedback link was added. And 1317 01:38:33,510 --> 01:38:36,780 again, sorry about that. We just had a period at the end of it, 1318 01:38:36,780 --> 01:38:40,350 Tom. Thank you, Malcolm, for bringing that up. Jude has 1319 01:38:40,350 --> 01:38:42,240 question, do you have any preferences between this 1320 01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:46,050 dashboard format and other web apps like experience builder? So 1321 01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:52,380 yes, I do. But it depends on the application. So I always like to 1322 01:38:52,380 --> 01:38:55,710 sit down with a project team and chat with them about their goals 1323 01:38:55,710 --> 01:38:58,860 and what it is they're hoping to build. If they're hoping to 1324 01:38:58,860 --> 01:39:01,230 build it themselves, experience builders a little bit more 1325 01:39:01,230 --> 01:39:04,500 difficult to get up and running and, and use if you're not 1326 01:39:04,500 --> 01:39:08,460 familiar with ArcGIS Online. And so I'd be more likely to 1327 01:39:08,460 --> 01:39:12,180 recommend something like story maps or dashboards for people 1328 01:39:12,180 --> 01:39:14,790 who hadn't used it before and wanted to build it themselves. 1329 01:39:15,120 --> 01:39:18,450 But experience builder does give you more customizing so you can 1330 01:39:18,450 --> 01:39:22,560 even inexperienced builder embed multiple dashboards as like a 1331 01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:28,170 dashboard selector type environment. Great question. 1332 01:39:28,530 --> 01:39:32,130 Eunice asks, Is the dashboard suitable for small datasets for 1333 01:39:32,130 --> 01:39:36,240 using collected qualitative data? I think, thinks story maps 1334 01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:40,290 may be better suited. Yeah, so if it's a small data set, it 1335 01:39:40,290 --> 01:39:44,970 depends on what you're hoping to highlight. So if you're hoping 1336 01:39:44,970 --> 01:39:48,960 to kind of tell more of a narrative, definitely story maps 1337 01:39:48,960 --> 01:39:52,350 will be better suited for a small qualitative data set where 1338 01:39:52,350 --> 01:39:54,480 maybe you're highlighting a few different interviews or 1339 01:39:54,480 --> 01:39:58,260 something. Um, but I definitely have to see your data and maybe 1340 01:39:58,260 --> 01:40:01,080 talk a little bit more with you units, about your Your goals. 1341 01:40:01,860 --> 01:40:05,790 But yeah, story maps is another one that's, that's very useful 1342 01:40:05,790 --> 01:40:07,470 for that kind of storytelling. 1343 01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:11,400 Yeah, Malcolm fit Nope. No 1344 01:40:11,400 --> 01:40:14,070 problem, you always ask great questions. I enjoy having you at 1345 01:40:14,070 --> 01:40:17,910 my workshops. Read I'm sorry, you might have said this. But 1346 01:40:17,910 --> 01:40:20,040 will the recording of this session be available for future 1347 01:40:20,040 --> 01:40:23,790 reference? It will be so I will be uploading the recording, to 1348 01:40:23,790 --> 01:40:26,760 scholarship at Western for access to all of those who 1349 01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:30,030 registered as well as anybody else who you know, maybe you 1350 01:40:30,030 --> 01:40:33,360 want to send along the link to the recording to fellow 1351 01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:35,760 classmates or colleagues who might find this useful? 1352 01:40:36,359 --> 01:40:37,619 It will be available Yeah. 1353 01:40:39,420 --> 01:40:42,720 Did you do yes. Oh, since you're already answered that. That's me 1354 01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:46,620 just scrolling slowly through the chat. All good. There was a 1355 01:40:46,620 --> 01:40:49,470 follow up question to that asking if we would be emailing 1356 01:40:49,500 --> 01:40:54,930 out the link to the recording to Yes, I will send out a custom 1357 01:40:54,930 --> 01:40:58,440 follow up email to everyone who attended today. And registered 1358 01:40:58,440 --> 01:41:02,010 with this the link to the slides and the link to the recording. 1359 01:41:02,370 --> 01:41:06,390 Yeah. Speaking of which, I will stop the recording now but I 1360 01:41:06,390 --> 01:41:09,870 will stay in the room for just a little while longer to do
