Tools in the portal can be used to import data in different formats such as CSV, GeoJSON, and Shapefile, and host the data in the portal as a hosted layer item. Once imported, you can use the tools to manage the layer item and access the data service. For example, you can add or remove fields that are accessible, change the default layer style, or change the sharing settings to private, public, or shared with a group. Applications can access hosted layers by the layer item ID or the data service URL. Learn more about hosting data in Data hosting.
