What's new in this release

Product highlights

• Deep Learning Studio is a web app that provides an intuitive experience to conduct deep learning analysis, including collecting training samples, training models, and using inferencing tools.
• Integrate deep learning models in your organization's ArcGIS Living Atlas content.
• ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes is now supported on VMware Tanzu.

Organization administration

• Manage delete protection settings for multiple items owned by the same organization member.
• Manage ArcGIS Pro settings, including offline usage, from the Licenses tab.
• Use the NoExecute effect when applying tolerations to service pods from ArcGIS Enterprise Manager.
• Download error reports from ArcGIS Enterprise Manager.
• Use ArcGIS Enterprise Manager to view and edit runtime settings for notebook services.
• Use ArcGIS Enterprise Manager to validate cloud raster stores.
• Choose to integrate container registry authentication with your cloud provider instead of providing credentials. This option is available during deployment and can be updated from ArcGIS Enterprise Manager.

Mapping and visualization

• Changes made to field visibility, field order, and data sorting from within the attribute table in Map Viewer can be saved to the web map or layer item. These configurations are visible when the attribute table is reopened.
• Sort data fields by the default sort order, display name, type, or field name from the Fields pane.
• When working with aggregated data, configure binning on line and polygon features.
• Add and manage related file attachments in the table if the layer owner has enabled attachments and you have privileges to edit the layer.
• Embed a public map you've opened in Map Viewer using ready-to-use HTML code.
• Open multiple tabs for tables, charts, raster function templates, and analysis history at the same time using the multitab view at the bottom of the map.
• Manage feature templates for hosted feature layers in Map Viewer if you are the layer owner, organization administrator, or have layer management privileges.
• Display a customizable grid to help guide feature drawing and placement when editing features and working with sketch layers.
• When getting directions and creating route layers, add stops and barriers by placing them directly on the map. You can also optimize the route order.
• Use SQL expressions when calculating field values in Map Viewer.
• Customize your sketch symbol gallery by specifying a 2D sketch web style group.
• When styling animated symbols, configure additional animation properties depending on the symbol type. These properties include color transition, rotation, scale factor, size, and transparency.
• When choosing a font for labels and text sketch features, the new Map fonts list shows fonts that are being used by layers in the web map.
• In Map Viewer, control display filters authored on a layer in ArcGIS Pro. Display filters limit which features of a layer are shown on the map and impact the display only.
• When adding features to a layer, use additional drawing tools to create line and polygon features by selecting an option from the shape menu. You can also zoom to, edit, and delete pending features from the Create feature and Edit feature panes.
• Bar charts and box plots now support a custom sort option.
• Charts are now supported for subtype sublayers from subtype group layers and subtype tables. For more information on supported layers for charts, see Configure charts.
• Bar charts and line charts using a date field now support axis guides for dates or date ranges.
• Bar charts can now be created using only numeric fields. The field name will be used as the categorical variable on the x-axis.
• Pie chart parameters have been simplified to be more consistent with other chart parameters, like bar charts.
• Add Pro presentation files (.psrx) as items to the portal.
• Add Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Coverage Service (WCS) layers to maps using their URLs in Map Viewer.

3D GIS

• Explore multiple building scene layers simultaneously by showing full models for each layer.
• Enhance 3D presentations with Slide Manager. Add slide captions and automatically display legends when presenting a scene.
• Scene Viewer provides a new and simplified phone user experience that supports the capabilities of 3D presentations.
• Feature and scene layers can be duplicated to efficiently copy layer styles and properties.
• Voxel layers now support pop-up configurations.
• Scene Viewer supports OGC WCS and oriented imagery layers.
• Improve editing workflows with advancements to batch editing and drawing tools.
• Analysis tools are now available in Scene Viewer.
• Perform viewshed analysis and save it in your slides to share.
• Define a default 3D basemap for your organization to use in Scene Viewer.

Analysis

• The new Tabulate Area raster analysis tool calculates the cross-tabulated areas between two datasets and reports the results as a table.
• The new Zonal Geometry as Table raster analysis tool calculates geometry measures for each zone in a dataset and reports the results as a table.
• Distance Accumulation and Distance Allocation raster functions have two new options for the Vertical factor parameter: Hiking time and Bidirectional hiking time. The performance of these tools has also been improved if the Distance method parameter value is Geodesic, or if the Vertical factor or Horizontal factor parameters are set.
• The Geographic transformations environment setting is now available for raster tools and raster functions.
• Subtype sublayers from subtype group layers are now supported as feature inputs for analysis tools. For a complete list of supported data, see Perform analysis in Map Viewer.

Data management

• From the item details page of map image layers, specify the maximum number of features that can be highlighted in an export request.
• From the item details page of feature layers, allow members of your organization with access to the layer to append data and edit shared templates.
• Support is added for grid coverages from OGC WCS layers. You can add them as an item using their URLs and use them in Map Viewer and Scene Viewer.
• Item owners can now manage delete protection settings for multiple items at a time.
• Publish a compressed file (.zip file) containing photos that have geotags. This creates a point hosted feature layer, and each photo is an attachment to a point feature.

Notebooks

The following new features have been added to ArcGIS Notebooks in ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes:

• Manage files has been added to the Manage drop-down menu in the Notebooks homepage. Manage files opens a new window that allows you to work with and manage content in the notebook user workspace. This allows authors to manage files and folders in their own user workspace without needing to open a notebook, as well as allows organization administrators to manage the workspaces of notebook authors in their organization.

• Pod placement policy using node affinity and tolerations is now supported for notebook runtimes. This allows configuration of dedicated GPU enabled nodes for notebook workflows like Deep Learning. See Configure notebook services for more information.
• A new jsapiCDN configuration property is now supported with Notebook Services. The property allows you to configure a URL to a local ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript to enable the use of the ArcGIS API for Python map widget within your notebooks in a disconnected environment. See Deploy in a disconnected environment for more information.
• Notebook Services now supports the creation of webhook receivers for automating notebook workflows. Notebook webhook receivers can be created and managed using the ArcGIS Enterprise Administrator API.
• The latest notebook runtime 12.0 includes ArcGIS API for Python 2.4.1, ArcPy 3.5, and updated Python libraries. See View available Python libraries for a full list of available Python libraries.
