Map Collection
The map collection specifies the list of map services available in the WebOffice 10.9 R4 clients by default.
It is possible to combine map services from various sources:
•ArcGIS Server Map Service: An ArcGIS map service hosted on a server on premise
•ArcGIS Server Image Service: An ArcGIS image service hosted on a server or online
•ArcGIS Server Feature Service: An ArcGIS feature service hosted on a server or online
•ArcGIS Online Service: ArcGIS resources from ArcGIS Online
•OGC Map Service (WMS): with this type of map service it is possible to provide WMS data
•OGC Map Service (WMTS): use this type of map service to provide WMTS data
•BING Map Service: map service used for projecting the BING map images
•OpenStreetMap Tile Server: map service used for projecting the OSM map images
•If combining caches and dynamic services, the dynamic services must be configured in Table of Content (TOC) or Map Views on the top, so that the WebOffice 10.9 R4 client can request the cache tiles. •As tiling scheme, the cached map service in WebOffice 10.9 R4 is used, which is at the top of the map collection. VertiGIS recommends, however, to strive for the highest possible level of coverage at discrete scale levels, as otherwise it may happen that all other map services are combined in a dynamic image from the point in the table of content where inconsistencies occur •If using caches of type cache on demand, the map services will be used as cached map services, although the first map request of an un-cached area will return a dynamically generated image. |
The map collection provides some properties to better control handling of the map services:
Map collection configuration
Property |
Description |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Specifies the default map service of the map collection. The default map service is characterized by: •It provides the main content to the map collection, •It must be available. If not then WebOffice 10.9 R4 clients displays an error page and ends the user session, •Must be a service of type ArcGIS Server Map Service |
|||||
Specifies if only discrete, fixed map scales are available for dynamic map services (Yes).
|
|||||
Discrete scale levels |
List of discrete scale levels. Is only used if Provide discrete scale levels is set to Yes. If e.g. scale levels 1000, 2500, 5000, 10000 should be available in the WebOffice client then specify 1000|2500|5000|10000 as configuration value.
|
||||
Allow the user to input scale levels in WebOffice core client. This is only possible if there are only dynamic services configured in the project. |
