Define an Edit Layer for the layer that will be used for creating new point features for every uploaded geotagged image. These point features will be filled with information from the image file, regarding the EXIF header (exchangeable image file format).

Note: This chapter describes how to configure an edit layer for uploading geotagged images. General information about the configuration of edit layer please find in chapter Edit Layers.

Note: Be sure that the used feature class is a point feature class (no multipoint, no polygon, etc.) and is saved in a feature dataset using WGS84. The dataframe of the service itself also has to be set to WGS84.

Edit layer for upload geotagged images tool configuration

In order to be able to save image information of the uploaded files in an attribute table of the point feature class several fields have to be prepared in the feature class. All fields that will be used for saving image information need a specific field type. All fields that have been prepared in the feature class have to be configured as editing fields inside the edit layer. After configuring the editing fields you will have to assign the reference to the according EXIF fields in the Geotagging Attributes.

The following attribute types are supported:

EXIF Field	Property	Field Type
exif_image_description	description of the image	String
exif_model	model of the camera	String
exif_date_time	date and time of the picture	Date
exif_altitude	height above sea level	Double
exif_latitude	latitude	Double
exif_longitude	longitude	Double
exif_image_dir	direction of the image	Double
exif_speed	speed	Double

Additionally, there have to be prepared two attribute fields for uploading geotagged images which will hold the original and the storage filename (name which is given by the application during uploading process (GUID)):

Uploadfile	Property	Field Type
filename_physical_storage	id that is used to save the image in the upload folder	String
filename_original	original image name	String

Note: If one of the named fields has configured an incorrect field type the tool will not be available.

It is possible to add additional attribute fields used for editor tracking as described in Editing Configuration for User Management.

Note: If no editing fields are configured, WebOffice 10.4 SP2 will only edit the geometry of the objects.

Note: If the fields of the editing field list are integrated by an external application no editing field list has to be configured in WebOffice 10.4 SP2.

Note: If a ArcGIS Server Workgroup is used, no editing user can be configured. Instead automatically the appropriate system user will be used.
