Abstract

If you’re an Esri user, you’ve encountered Arcade. It’s everywhere now: labeling, symbology, popups, attribute rules, and more. A little know-how goes a long way with Arcade, but it can feel daunting! This workshop will start at the very foundations of Arcade, expanding out from there. Even 90 minutes isn’t enough to cover everything, but we’ll focus on the most common uses of Arcade, as well as some tips and pitfalls.

GIS Developer, Kendall County GIS

Josh is a GIS Developer in the public sector, where he gets to nudge boundary lines around and build things that (hopefully) make Kendall County run a little better.When he’s not on the clock, you can find him mapping on OpenStreetMap, fiddling with things, knitting, or talking too much to his wife and sons about any of the above.
