ArcGIS Online Support

jirikadlec2[CodePlex]
Suggestions for the ArcGIS Online plug-in:

display a list of data services from the ArcGIS Online quotObservations Catalogquot
User can select one or more services from this list - the associated data cart data set will be shown as a layer in the map using the catalog-specified icon with icon size proportional to Value Count
When the layer is added to the map, it can be used as a quotData Sitesquot layer (pop-up context menu items are handled by the Data Download plug-in)
Each ArcGIS online layer has a quotrefreshquot context menu that can be used to refresh the displayed sites from the ArcGIS Online service
When a project is saved, the list of active ArcGIS Online service layers is also saved.

Suggested implementation:

add support for point feature layers from the quotObservations Catalogquot grouping
Add support for other layers

Integration in HydroDesktop: Two possible options have been suggested - (A) integrate as an addditional data source in search or metadata fetcher

(B) integrate as a separate plugin launched on the main toolbar and located next to the quotOnline Basemapquot tool button

Start with the ArcGIS Online plug-in and the Observations Catalog requirements in this issue. Review how the Data Download plug-in handles Data Sites context-menu items and how the Online Basemap tool is integrated. Done would include selecting and refreshing supported service layers, saving them with a project, and deciding between the proposed search integration and separate toolbar plug-in.
