Feature services
AuGeo is designed to work with almost any point feature service.
The recommended approach for configuring a point feature service for use with the app is to create a feature service layer view from an existing feature service layer. This approach avoids the necessity to create data specifically for the app.
As feature service layer views are the recommended service type, these instructions assume use of ArcGIS Online. Use of Portal is not prohibited, but it is not discussed here or encouraged at this stage of the project.
To create a feature service view suitable for use in the Horizon Prototype app:
- Sign in to your ArcGIS organization
- Select a point feature service
- Click the Visualization tab
- Create a Filter (optional) to limit the content of layer. This will determine which features are displayed in the Horizon app.
- Create symbology (optional) - either 'types', 'counts and amounts', or 'location'. This color will be used for the outline of the Horizon app popup.
- Configure popup (optional) - nominate title. This will be displayed in the Horizon app popup.
- Click Save as new layer
- Enter title, tags (must include 'horizon') and other info (optional) and click Save
Layers can have any number of tags, but only ones that have the tag horizon will appear in the data sources gallery of the app. Use other tags to help organize yoour data
A popup should be defined for the feature layer. The popup definition will be used to format the data in the app's augmented view. Currently only title is used, but it is planned that other info will also become available in the app.
The filter expression is optional and will be honored. Filters are a great way to create manageable amounts of data for display from a single data source. The number of features that can comfortably displayed in the app is likely to be 10-50 (depending on the size of your screen), limit the amount of features that you attempt to display by using filters.
The colors chosen in the feature service layer view will be used to determine the outline color of the popup in the app.
