Map Services Configuration

Once feature class aliases are established and imported into the geodatabase configuration, an agency must publish the maps it wishes to use. The Lucity Web Map and the Lucity Mobile application support both .mxd, and .msp map services. After the services are published, an administrator must configure Lucity to use the services.

How To Configure a Map Service

1. Collect map service information.

   For Arc 10.x

   1. Log into Arc Server Manager and click on Services > Manage Services.

      

   2. Locate the service you wish to use and click on it to view its properties.
   3. Click the Capabilities button.
   4. Copy down the REST URL, which should have a path similar to:
      • Map Service: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/MapServer
      • Feature Service: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/FeatureServer
      • Geocoding Service: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/GeocodeServer
      • Geometry Service: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/GeometryServer
      • Routing Service: http://<server name>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<service name>/RoutingServer
   5. If collecting information for the map service that contains your operational data, click on the REST URL. A page containing the properties of the map service appears.
   6. Scroll down and copy down the Spatial Reference Number. (Do this only for the layer that contains Lucity data.)

      Note: If text appears in the Spatial Reference field, rather than numerals, use the closest matching Spatial Reference Number from the following lists: Projected Coordinate Systems Geographic Coordinate Systems

2. Open the Lucity Administration Tool.
3. If the map services are secured, go to GIS > Authentication Setup.
   • Add the required Username/Login combinations.
4. Navigate to GIS > GIS Services.

   

   1. On the Map Services tab, click Add Map Service...
   2. Enter the Name of the map service. This name is used to identify the service when it is added to a Lucity map or viewed in one of the Lucity mapping products.
   3. In the URL field, enter the REST URL for the map service.
   4. In the Order field, enter a value to indicate the order in which the service should appear in relation to other layers. (Map services are layered based on this field. A lower number represents a lower layer. Zero is the bottom layer.)

      Note: Lucity Mobile and Mobile Work Maps only query data out of the top-most layer. Therefore, make sure that the layer that contains Lucity assets has the highest number in the Order field.

   5. Check the Base Map for Web? box if this layer is used as a basemap.
      • More information about configuring basemaps
   6. If the service is secured, use the User Auth drop-down box to select one of the authentications you created in Step 3.
   7. Complete other fields as desired.
   8. Click Save.
   9. Click Test if the map service contains Lucity features. The system displays a list of all feature classes that the map recognizes as being connected to Lucity.
5. After Steps 1 - 4 have been completed for all map services, go to Lucity Web, and navigate to Admin Portal > Settings > System Settings > GIS Web section.
   1. In the Operational Data Spatial Reference WKID field, enter the Spatial Reference number. [This topic was covered in Step 1.g.]
      • The WKID that is used here must be the the WKID that the operational data is referenced against. Lucity uses this spatial reference to record x-y coordinates and any other spatial data.
