ArcGIS Online
ESRI cloud web GIS enabling work not only with spatial data. The output are interactive maps and applications that can be displayed in a web browser and inserted into any page.
The application is accessible only to authorised users of Masaryk University. License terms are available on the document server.
What is ArcGIS Online?
Simply put, ArcGIS Online is a web GIS that allows you to create interactive maps and map applications. You can then share them and make them available to a certain group of people, the whole organization or even the general public.
The main advantage is that you can move the map and zoom in. All content adapts to the current scale and remains clear. You can create your own symbology, labels, filters, graphs and, thanks to pop-up windows (bubbles), you can make any information about the selected element available to readers.
Working with ArcGIS Online is very intuitive and thanks to cloud storage, maps are accessible from anywhere. In addition, you can work with them in ArcGIS mobile applications and capture data directly from the field.
How to get a license?
The ArcGIS Online license is available to all students and staff on request. In certain cases it is assigned automatically.
If you find the group ArcGIS_studenti or ArcGIS_zamestnanci in the application Groups of persons in IS MU, then you have a license assigned automatically. Otherwise, request using the email address listed in Contacts below.
See ArcGIS Software for more information.
How to log in to the application?
The application is accessible only to authorized users of Masaryk University. You can find it at https://muni.maps.arcgis.com.. If you log in via the arcgis.com homepage, you must enter the URL of our organization (= muni.maps.arcgis.com) in the appropriate field.
The login screen will open. There you can access the MU Unified Login via the MASARYK UNIVERSITY button, where you just need to enter your UČO and primary password.

What are credits and how to use them?
Each user is assigned a certain number of credits that they can use. Some types of analysis (eg. geocoding), tile creation or storage usage are charged. Everything is explained in detail in the ArcGIS Online documentation, including the price of individual operations.
Calculator:
Before the start of each analysis, you can calculate how many credits you will use. Use the 'Show credits' button to estimate the cost of the analysis.
Current number of credits:
You can check the number of remaining credits in your profile. This can be accessed, for example, via the icon in the upper right corner of ArcGIS Online.
