Authoring and Serving ArcGIS Mobile Projects

This course teaches a recommended workflow to successfully create and deploy an out-of-the-box ArcGIS Mobile project. Beginning at the planning phase and working through the project deployment process, you will learn how to adapt existing data, maps, and GIS workflows to the mobile environment. In course exercises, you will work with a mobile device emulator to author, test, and deploy a mobile project.

Note: This course does not cover the ArcGIS Mobile SDK (software development kit). For training on developing custom ArcGIS Mobile applications, take Building Applications Using the ArcGIS Mobile SDK.

• GIS analysts and other experienced ArcGIS users who want to deploy mobile GIS projects using out-of-the-box ArcGIS Mobile functionality.
• Developers who want to understand out-of-the-box ArcGIS Mobile functionality.

After completing this course you will be able to

• Plan a mobile project for use within an enterprise system.
• Choose an appropriate data transaction model to support real-time field data collection and editing.
