Before working through the following steps it is assumed you have already completed the steps outlined on the Export_to_ArcGIS page for getting your data from Golden Retriever into your ArcGIS Online account.


Once you have your data exported to your ArcGIS account open the feature layer. Before we create a public version of the data we need to create a "View Layer" of of feature layer. If we proceed without doing this additional step then anyone with access to the public web map will be able to edit the map. Usually when you are providing a public web map link to a client you only want them to have a read-only view of the data.

Please note that if you perform another export from the Golden Retriever Admin portal your feature layer will be overwritten but your view layer will not be. This means that each time you push and update you will need to delete and re-create your view layer and then re-add it to your public web map.

Click on the button titled "Create view layer"
