Tools

Tools are ArcGIS software applications that you can use to prepare maps and data for custom applications you are building.

ArcGIS portal

A portalArcGIS portal, also known as a portal, is a website with applications and tools that can be used to create, manage, access, and share geospatial content and data. It supports security and authentication, developer credentials, content and data service management, user and group management, and site administration. A portal can be hosted in Esri's infrastructure or your own infrastructure.Learn more contains web-based applications and tools that can create, manage, share, and analyze geospatial content and data. Use your portal to create developer credentialsDeveloper credentials are a type of item in a portal that contains parameters for authentication. There are two types of developer credentials: API key credentials and OAuth credentials.Learn more, create web mapsA web map is a map stored as a JSON object that defines properties such as the basemap layer, data layers, layer styles, and pop-up styles. Its JSON structure is defined by the web map specification.Learn more and hosted layersA hosted layer is an item in a portal that contains the properties and settings for a hosted data service or a layer in a hosted data service.Learn more, create custom basemap styles, perform featureFeature analysis is a type of server-side analysis that uses the feature analysis service to perform geometric and analytic operations on feature data.Learn more and raster analysesRaster analysis is a type of server-side analysis that uses the raster analysis service to perform geometric and analytic operations on raster data.Learn more, import data and files, and create data servicesData services, also known as hosted data services, are services created dynamically to store and provide access to your data in ArcGIS. Examples are feature services, vector tile services, map tile services, image services, and scene services.Learn more for your applications.
