Hi,

I am relatively new to Arc GIS and am using Arc GIS online for PowerBI. I am wondering how to create my own reference layer and save it for future use?

Any links would be of great help!

Thanks in advance.

Hi  @skolungade ，

To create reference layer, you should use ArcGIS map visual. Here are links for your reference:

Let me know if you have any additional questions. You can create a layer from scratch and start drawing features and attributes, or you can publish a shapefile or GeoJSON to create a Hosted Feature Layer. These layers are your reference layers that you can use in Layer Joins.
