Konvertieren eines Feldtyps in ArcGIS Online

Zusammenfassung

In ArcGIS Online, the field types are set automatically if the field types can be identified. Fields can be removed, their display names changed, and their type changed. There are a variety of field types: number types, text types, date types, binary large objects (BLOBs), or globally unique identifiers (GUIDs). Choosing the right data type helps to properly store data while also facilitating analysis, data management, and business requirements.

The instructions provided describe how to convert the field type of an attribute table in ArcGIS Online, or through ArcGIS Pro and publish to ArcGIS Online.
