Use GIS Map Tools
Explanation
This activity explains how to use GIS Map tools. This can be performed in GIS Map page by toggling
editable layers and opening Tools panel.
Prerequisites
The following enables GIS Objects to be edited in GIS Map page:
- Edit capabilities like create, update and delete should have been enabled on the layer's feature service.
Edit capabilities for a feature service are configured outside IFS Cloud. On an internal ArcGIS server,
capabilities can be toggled on/off in ArcGIS Server Manager. Similar settings are found in the layers service
page on ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Portal. Consult ArcGIS online documentation for more details about how to
control these settings.
- GIS object's layer should have been defined as Editable in GIS Layer Mapping page:
Define Layer Mapping.
- Layer should have been made available for the user in GIS Layer Group page: Define Layer Groups.
- Editable layer should have been toggled on in GIS Map/Layer Panel.
- The map service must have been added in proxy configuration. The proxy configuration is controlled by a
setting in Map Services/Basic Data/GIS Settings page. The name of the setting is
PROXY_CONFIGURATION. Refer to Define GIS Settings. Information about
how to add a map service in the proxy is also described in GIS Concepts.
The measurement tools might require a geometry service to work, if the map's coordinate system is not Web
Mercator or geographic. This is described here: GIS
Concepts
System Effects
Edit, move and delete operations modifies information in ArcGIS system and not in IFS.
