Import Layers from Multiple Map Sources

Import Layers from Multiple Map Sources

Users can import GIS layers from multiple map sources.This new feature gives clients the ability to mix and match layers from multiple existing map sources instead of needing to combine layers on one map before importing.  Users can then edit GIS fields (ArcGIS User Name, Token URL, etc.) at the layer level.

Enable Detail Configuration

  1. From home screen, click Settings > Integration > GIS.
  2. Click the map link on left side menu.

  11. Check the Has Assets box if you will be syncing assets for this layer.
  12. Select a Unique Column Name. This is the unique column ID that will be mapped to the asset number and name (if name is not otherwise specified).
  13. If feature service is enabled, select an attribute in the Show As Label field, if desired. This label will appear on the map next to each asset.
  14. Click Save.
