After map services are configured with Lucity, an agency must create a map in the Lucity Administration Tool by layering map services.
The Map Setup tool enables administrators to define maps and assign them to different groups of users. The process is used to create maps for the Lucity Web Map, Lucity GIS Viewer, and for Lucity Mobile - Map Mode.
Considerations
Which map services should be in this map?
For which mapping product is this map intended?
