Feature Editing Over the Web
- Features can be digitized and saved directly into an enterprise SDE.
- Users can digitize points, line, polygons, multi-part features
- Several editing tools provided including: split, merge, cut, append, create neighbor, explode, copy, fill, etc.
- COGO (coordinate geometry) tools available
- Attribution can save directly into a geodatabase and / or update related non-GIS data.
- Has been used in the past for editing shared stands data, completing treatments, recording spatial activities / accomplishments, etc.
Spatial Validation Features for Web Editing
- Custom validation rules are defined according to a client’s requirements / needs
- If a feature (ex. – Activity Polygon) violates a spatial validation rule (ex. – It’s outside a specific management area the user is working in), a message will appear.
- User has the option to handle the conflict depending on the situation (ex. – Clip the digitized shape to the management area, Abort, or Continue)
- Process is valuable for validating agency-specific business rules.
- Spatial validation is configurable and built on ESRI Geoprocessing Tasks exposed as REST endpoints.
Uploading Local Data
- Web-based interface
- Allows users to import shapefiles directly from their desktop into the web map viewer.
- Local shapefiles are overlaid onto the enterprise data.
- Users can manage their uploaded data as layers in the sytem.
- Users will only see their uploaded data (not other’s data)
- Shapefiles are re-projected on the fly during the upload process
Uploading Data Directly from ArcMap
- Optional method for creating features and uploading them into the enterprise SDE / web viewer.
- Create features in ArcMap and then select features and upload them.
- Features created in ArcMap will appear immediately in the web viewer for that user.
- Easily deployable component (built as ESRI geo-processing task)
- Desktop created features can be uploaded to a staging layer for reconciling (if desired)
- Easy deployment – Desktop Upload can be consumed as an ArcGIS server hosted geo-processing service
