Overview

On the Overview tab, you can edit the display name if needed, change the URL to a different map service, and toggle the map to render locally.

TIP: Troubleshooting: If a map service is down, you may not be able to perform certain functions against it. When you see Down as the status, this could mean one of three things:

The map service is not currently running on the ArcGIS Server or cannot be contacted due to a networking issue. Double-check that the URL to the service is correct.
If your organization uses Portal for ArcGIS/AGOL to secure your map services, the map service may require you to be logged in as a Portal for ArcGIS/AGOL user. Ensure that you are logged in as a Portal for ArcGIS/AGOL user with permissions to access the map service.
The service is just unavailable at the moment.

Render Locally

Your organization may have layers in your operational maps that are set to have transparency. However, when your users are working with online data, the basemap may not be visible at all. When working with offline data, meaning the user’s device is offline or they are working in offline mode, layers are rendered locally, so there is no reliance on an online service. When working with online data, ArcFM Mobile by default renders layers on the server, but you can toggle this setting to force an individual operational map to render them locally. Hence, if you use transparent layers and need to see the basemap, this setting enables that.

There are downsides to this configuration (as indicated by hovering over the information symbol), including reference scale being disabled, but most notable is the impact on performance. Rendering online data locally creates a significant delay for your users that may not be ideal. Additionally, local rendering places limits on layer symbology similar to the limits seen with offline maps.

Therefore, concerns with performance should be considered before utilizing this configuration setting for each map.
