/update: Update Item

title

The title of the item. This is the only name that users and applications use for the title, as there is no concept of display names or aliases in the API.

thumbnail

The path to the thumbnail image to be used for the item. For best results, images that are 600 pixels wide by 400 pixels high or larger with an aspect ratio of 1.5:1 are recommended. Supported file formats are PNG, GIF, and JPEG with a maximum file size of 10 MB. The file will be stored on the sharing servers.

Supported retrievable thumbnail widths for item are 200 pixels (default), 400 pixels, 800 pixels, and 2400 pixels, with an aspect ratio of 1.5:1. Other specified sizes will be snapped to the next highest supported dimension for query. If the original image dimension is smaller than the size queried, the original image will be returned.

Example:

1
subfolder/thumbnail.jpg

Item thumbnails can be retrieved at different dimensions by specifying a URL parameter w for the desired image width:

1
https://<item-url>/info/thumbnail/thumbnail.png?w=400

thumbnailUrl

Enter the URL to the thumbnail image to be used for the item. The recommended image size is 200 pixels wide by 133 pixels high. Acceptable image formats are PNG, GIF, and JPEG. The maximum file size for an image is 1 MB.

1
https://server/arcgis/subfolder/thumbnail.jpg

metadata

If metadataEditable is true, all members of the organization can view the metadata. Only item owners and administrators can update metadata. If metadataEditable is false, no one in the organization can access the metadata.

classification

Introduced at ArcGIS Enterprise 11.4. The classification marking for an item. The JSON object should contain properties related to the attributes specified in the schema and reference a valid value for each attribute. The JSON object must include a banner property. The banner value must correspond to the values for bannerText or bannerTextExpression, whichever was included in the schema. The attributes and values in the banner property must use the value and attribute delimiter information as specified in the schema. Before updating the item's classification it is recommended that the updated classification JSON object be submitted to the Validate Schema operation to ensure its properly formatted.

culture

The item locale (language and country) information. The browser locale will not be taken into consideration if the culture parameter is used to update an item. The format for a culture code is based on a language code and country code, separated by a dash. The language code is based on the two-letter codes found in the Library of Congress Codes for the Representation of Names of Languages. The country code is based on the two-letter codes found by searching the ISO Online Browsing Platform.

Example:

1
en

properties

A JSON object that primarily applies to system requirements, terms and conditions, version, supported platforms, and video IDs associated with the application.

If the item is of type notebook, you can specify the runtime version of the notebook.

Notebook example:

1
2
3
4
{
  "notebookRuntimeName":"ArcGIS Notebook Python 3 Standard",
  "notebookRuntimeVersion":"5.0"
}

url

The URL of the item to be updated. The service proxy URL can't be updated. Only a fully qualified domain name and the context of a service proxy URL can be updated.

serviceUsername

Sets the user name on a secure, on-premises map, feature, or image service.

1
myuser1

servicePassword

Sets the password on a secure, on-premises map, feature, or image service.

1
mypassword1

serviceProxyParams

A JSON object that provides rate limiting and referrer checks when accessing secured services.

Example:

1
2
3
4
5
{
  "hitsPerInterval":2,
  "intervalSeconds":60,
  "referrers":["https://<servername>"]
}

serviceProxyFilter

A JSON object with category, sourceCountry, and searchExtent properties that are used to restrict service item response results based on specified filters, such as limiting results returned from a geocode service based on defined filters. This parameter is only applicable to geocoding service item types. The category property is a comma-delimited list of one or more categories from the geocoding service. The sourceCountry property is a 2- or 3-digit country code supported by the geocoding service. The searchExtent property is a JSON envelope object that is used to limit geocoding to a specified search area. The three properties (category, sourceCountry, and searchExtent) can be used independently or in any combination; they are applied as a Boolean AND operator when combined.

createAsServiceProxy

If true, a service URL item is updated as a proxy item without embedding credentials. It can be used to take advantage of the portal sharing model for security reasons, hide actual service URLs, rate limiting and referrer checks, and so on.

Values: true | false

removeServiceProxy

Allows users to remove the service proxy created for an item (true). The default value is false.

Values: true | false

appCategories

Example:

1
{'myAttribute':'myValue'}

dataUrl
