Publish to ArcGIS Online

How to publish GeoDin borehole data and attached reports from ArcGIS Pro to ArcGIS Online for web-based access

This final step in the integration workflow publishes your borehole feature layers — including attached GeoDin reports — to ArcGIS Online, making them accessible through a web browser to stakeholders and team members.

Step 1: Open the project in ArcGIS Pro

Open ArcGIS Pro with the project containing your borehole feature classes and attached reports.

Step 2: Log in to ArcGIS Online

Log in to your ArcGIS Online account from within ArcGIS Pro. This connects your desktop project to your organization's online portal.

Step 3: Share the data

Choose the option to share your feature layer data. Select the appropriate sharing level (organization, specific groups, or public) depending on your project requirements.

Step 4: Name and publish

Give the published layer a descriptive name. If there are validation warnings, use the auto-assign option to resolve them. Click Publish to upload the data to ArcGIS Online.

Step 6: View feature layers

In the web data management section, locate your published feature layers. Make the layers visible to verify that the borehole points appear correctly on the map.

Step 7: Access reports online

Click on individual borehole points to verify that the attached GeoDin reports are accessible. Both borehole log reports and CPT reports should be available as downloadable attachments directly from the web map.

Step 8: Browse additional boreholes

Navigate between borehole points on the map to verify that all locations have their corresponding reports attached and accessible.
