You can create a blank ArcGIS Notebook from the ArcGIS Enterprise portal if you have the privilege to do so. If you prefer to begin working from a sample notebook, see Sample notebooks. You can also add an existing notebook from your computer.
To create a notebook from scratch, follow these steps.
- Log in to the portal as a user with privileges to create hosted notebooks.
- On the My Content tab of the Content page, click the Create drop-down menu, and choose Notebook.
The Create a Notebook dialog box appears.
- Specify a title for your new notebook, at least one tag, and, optionally, a summary of the notebook. Designate a folder where the notebook will be saved.
Tip:
It's a best practice to include several tags and a descriptive summary, so portal users can search for your notebook.
Your new notebook opens.
- There is also a one-click option to create a new notebook. On the top ribbon of the portal website, click Notebook. This will create and open a new notebook and assign it a temporary title. You can add a title, tags, and summary on the notebook's item details page in the portal.
Add a notebook from your computer
If you have a notebook file (.ipynb) saved to your computer, you can upload it to the portal. It will become a portal item, and its new item details page will open.
- Verify that you are signed in and have privileges to create content.
- From the My Content tab of the content page, click Add Item and click From my computer.
- Click the browse button and choose the notebook file on your computer.
- Type a title.
- If your portal administrator has configured content categories, click Assign Category and select up to 20 categories to help people find your item. You can also use the Filter categories box to narrow the list of categories.
- Type tags that describe your item. Separate terms with commas (for example, Data analysis is considered one tag; Data, analysis is considered two tags). As you type, you can select any of the suggested tags that appear; suggestions are generated from tags you have added previously.
- Click Add Item.
Once you've added your notebook file, you will be taken to its item details page, and you can edit the item details and share it (if you have sharing privileges).
As with any other portal item, ArcGIS notebooks have an item page where you can view and edit item details, modify settings, and share the item.
