Studio Web provides you with four methods to upload layer data to your map:
•Add Layer from an Esri Portal - add layer data from a layer that lives in your Esri portal.
•Quick Add Layer from File - add layer data from an external file. Web automatically detects and applies default settings.
•Guided Add Layer from File - add layer data from an external file via an interface that guides you through the process. You can review, adjust, and configure the file data.
•Import Layer from DXF File - add a Drawing Exchange Format (DXF) file.
•Add Layer from URL - add layer data from a publicly-accessible URL.
When you add layers, they are temporary and only exist for the length of the browser session.
Data Requirements
To use the Add Layer from File methods, the CSV or XLSX file must contain one of the following:
a.A point geometry with header information and columns named either:
•x, y, z
•x, y
•lat, lon
•lat, long
•latitude, longitude
b.A geometry with or without header information encoded in either:
c.A geometry column. The geometry format must be specified in its own column within the XLSX file.
Mixed Geometry Types
The following are important to note if your data file contains mixed geometry types:
•Each import process can add only one geometry format (for example, all points, all lines, or all polygons).
• If your XLSX file contains multiple geometry formats (for example, both points and polygons), you must import the file multiple times. You must select a single geometry format to import during each process.
•If you import a file with mixed geometry formats and do not select a specific geometry format to use (for example, in the Guided Add Layer From File method), the tool will automatically select and import the first geometry format it finds in the file.
