Add a New Operational Map

Once you have a map service published to ArcGIS Server, you can configure it for XI series application use in the Mapping plugin.

You need the map’s URL before proceeding.

TIP: You can quickly find your map’s URL in ArcGIS Server Manager > Services > Capabilities.

To add a new map, follow these steps:

In Solution Center, click the Mapping plugin.
Click the Operational Maps tab.
Click the Add New button.
Type a Display Name. This name appears throughout the other XI series application plugins, so use a short but descriptive name readily identifiable by other administrators and users. These steps use “Service Area Parcel Lines” as an example.
Paste the published map service URL into the URL field. The URL in the image is just an example and not a working map service.
Use the toggles to determine which XI series applications are allowed to access the map.
Under Machine-to-machine authentication, type the User Name and Password for the ArcGIS Server/Portal user credential.
IMPORTANT:
- This is only required if your company is using the hosted Edge Service. If your company is using the on-site Edge Service, this credential is not required and you can leave these fields empty. If in the future your company moves to a hosted Edge Service, this credential can be satisfied at that time.
- Create a Portal account for these machine-to-machine communications.
  - The Portal account can be the same for all three (Operational Maps, Sync Settings, and Markup Settings). Or, for more granular access control, use a separate Portal account for Sync Settings, Markup Settings, and each Operational Map.
  - For Operational Maps, the Portal account must have access to the map service linked to the operational map.
  - For Markup Settings, the Portal account must have access to all Markup feature services.
  - For Sync Settings, the Portal account must have access to all map services that require offline data.
Click Save.
