ArcGIS StoryMaps Events

Technical Workshop: ArcGIS StoryMaps: What’s New and What’s Coming
Monday, July 13 from 2:50-3:50 PM PDT
Presenters: Allen Carroll, Joseph Mayfield, Owen Evans

ArcGIS StoryMaps keeps getting better! In the past year, we have added a number of updates and enhancements that expand the authoring tools for creative storytelling and improve the reading experience. Tune in to learn about new storytelling features, mapping capabilities such as map choreography and map actions, the new slideshow and guided tour content blocks, story and app collections, and much more. We will also discuss the roadmap for ArcGIS StoryMaps, and share our plans for upcoming features.

Demo Theater Presentation: ArcGIS StoryMaps: Map Choreography and Map Actions
On-demand (watch anytime)
Presenters: Cooper Thomas, Ross Donihue

Maps can invite exploration and discovery—but they also have the potential to overwhelm readers. In this session, we’ll introduce you to the concept of “map choreography,” or the practice of deconstructing complex visualizations into simple, related views, using ArcGIS StoryMaps. We’ll show you the myriad ways in which map choreography can improve map-based narratives, and demonstrate how to implement it in ArcGIS StoryMaps.

The Virtual Expo
During Expo hours you can connect with sponsors, exhibitors, and Esri staff.

This is great! It’s unfortunate that none of it will work on hosted services.

It has been a release or two since I looked at data review options, but my understanding was that in ArcGIS Pro, the only option to implement checks against traditionally versioned data (without relying on ArcMap to create a .rbj file) was to author the rules in a map… attribute rules are not supported in the Geodatabase for traditionally versioned data. And the “rules in a map” method is now going away? Apologies if I am missing something – our organization is still mostly in Desktop for production work

Thank you Jay, that info helps. Can you say if validation attribute rules will ever be supported in traditional versioning? I’d like to think our transition to Pro will include the jump to branch versioning, and if validation rules will not be available, that might help advance the case for branch versioning.
