ArcGIS Online Settings

The ArcGIS Online settings screen is where you sign in to your ArcGIS Online account, view which account is connected, browse the items you have published from Mapit GIS, and disconnect when you are done.

Subscription required

Publishing and uploading to ArcGIS Online requires a Mapit Pro Plus subscription. See Mapit Pro Plus for details.

Go to Settings - ArcGIS Online to access this screen.

When disconnected

The screen shows a single action:

ActionDescription
Connect to ArcGIS OnlineOpens the Esri sign-in page in a secure in-app browser tab. Sign in with your ArcGIS Online credentials and authorise Mapit GIS. The browser tab closes automatically on success and you return to this screen with the account now connected.

The sign-in flow uses OAuth - Mapit GIS never sees your ArcGIS Online password. A confirmation message (ArcGIS Online account connected successfully) appears when the token is stored.

When connected

Once signed in, the screen shows:

RowDescription
ArcGIS Online AccountHeader for the account section.
Account nameThe username of the signed-in ArcGIS Online account.
OrganizationYour ArcGIS Online organisation name, if your account belongs to one. Hidden for personal accounts.
Mapit GIS Published ItemsTap to browse a list of items (feature services, file uploads) that you have published from Mapit GIS to your ArcGIS Online account.
Disconnect ArcGIS OnlineSign out. A confirmation dialog asks Do you want to disconnect your ArcGIS Online account? Tap OK to revoke the stored tokens on this device. Items already on ArcGIS Online are not deleted.

Publishing and uploading

This settings screen only manages the connection itself. The actual publish / upload actions happen from the export sheets:

  • Publish a single layer - see Export Layers
  • Upload a full project - see Export Project
  • ArcJSON (Esri JSON file format) - available as an export format regardless of whether you are connected

If you try to publish without being signed in, the export sheet prompts you to come back here and connect first.
