Hi Adam, Were you able to figure out if it can be done that way? There was a related question during the webinar Q&A session this past August. Here it is:
Community Question 6a: Can you give an overview of displaying spatial data in Arches for a non-GIS audience? Yeah. So this is a question we get a lot, and it's a good one because it really points, again, to this question of importing or access and data from Arches, to within Arches, but from a different system. So I said earlier, Arches is more than just the GIS because it can manage time and topology and all these things. I didn't mean to imply that it isn't the GIS because it really is. At its base, Arches provides all the same features and functionality that you would expect from an enterprise-scale GIS. And that includes being able to display spatial data, both data managed by Arches and data that you might be managing in a traditional GIS system as well. And the bottom line is, Arches has all the tools that you need to identify, sort of define the data that you want to publish on a map, and the ability for you to define how it's styled, so what colors and where the zoom levels and all the kind of detailed cartographic decisions that you can make, Arches can implement an open specification for defining all that. So the short kind of non-technical answer is, you have really all the same flexibility that you would have with the traditional GIS in deciding what you want to show on a map and how do you want to style it so that it shows off or displays the important aspects of your data to best effect. So hopefully, that's a reasonable answer. If people want to go into more detail, I'll wait to see if someone posts a question to the chat.
