For this option the use of ArcGIS Server Map Service of version 10.2 or higher is required.

Specifies if the placeholder image (depending on the map service e.g. a crossed out photo camera, or Map data not available at this zoom level) shall be displayed if a tile is not available.

If Yes is configured, the placeholder image is displayed, in case of No (default) no tile is displayed.

Service category

Group category for services displayed in the tool ArcGIS Service.

Server

Specifies URL of ArcGIS Server map service (on premise).

Example for an ArcGIS Server Map Service: http://<myserver>/ArcGIS/rest/services/<myService>/MapServer

Example for an ArcGIS Online Map Service: http://tiles.arcgis.com/tiles/Ok7pjj1ssdfsdfEneC7/arcgis/rest/services/DemonstationMap/MapServer

If you are connecting to an ArcGIS Server federated in a Portal for ArcGIS or are connecting to an ArcGIS Online service, be sure to use the service according to Esri Inc. Terms of Use! https://developers.arcgis.com/terms/ and http://www.esri.com/legal/software-license

icon_comment

A map service may only be used once in a map collection. I.e. you have to configure a single map service as overview map for example.

Service user

User login for accessing the ArcGIS Server service (ArcGIS service user).

Password

Password of user accessing ArcGIS Server service

Selection on all visible layers?

When using the option All visible Layers in the Client all Layers visible in the current scale ad set to visible are taken into consideration. A Layer configuration is not required, the ArcMap Layer Properties get used instead (Layer Name, visible Fields, Field order)

Max. extent for layer display

With query layers, the map area cannot be defined manually because it is always calculated automatically. Furthermore, the map area can also change dynamically by capturing additional features afterwards.

By selecting the value Service or Project it can be guaranteed that in WebOffice also newly captured objects are displayed outside the previous display area.
