GIS Configuration

Before using any of the Lucity GIS applications, some general system configuration and setup is required. The process required depends on where you data is stored. Lucity supports GIS data stored in a file or personal geodatabase, an ArcSDE geodatabase, or on ArcGIS Online.

Configurations

• File or Personal Geodatabase
• ArcSDE Geodatabase
• ArcGIS Online
• Lucity Cloud Clients
• ArcGIS Portal Integration
• Show in Map

Definitions

• GIS Connection Strings - System information that directs different parts of the integration to connect to particular GIS resources, including the geodatabase and a map service or feature service used to pass updates.
• Feature Service - An editable collection of feature classes that are published to the internet/intranet using ArcServer. A feature service can be used to pass updates from Lucity to the geodatabase.
• Map Service - A collection of feature classes that are published to the internet/intranet using ArcServer.
• Geodatabase Configuration - A Lucity tool stored in ArcCatalog that enables administrators to configure which feature classes and fields integrate with which Lucity modules and fields.
• GIS Config - A Lucity tool stored in the Lucity Administration Tool that enables administrators to configure the integration between ArcGIS Online and Lucity.
• GIS Task - A special function used to push updated information from Lucity to the geodatabase and from the geodatabase to Lucity according to a regular schedule. GIS tasks are set up in the geodatabase configuration and executed by Lucity Services.

Settings Affecting All Users

Various settings for Lucity GIS are maintained within the Lucity Administration Tool. These settings govern how Lucity works with related GIS products. The Administration Tool also provides settings that control how some of the Lucity tools in ArcMap function.

Edit Integration Settings

The settings that control the integration allow administrators to:

• deny Lucity the ability to update the geodatabase;
• control how Lucity functions when it is allowed to update the geodatabase; and
• receive error reports when a geodatabase update fails.

Integration configuration settings may be found in Lucity Web, under Admin Portal > Settings > System Settings > GIS Edit Integration.
