ArcGIS Online Feature Services v. 7.7.21

ArcGIS Online Mapping Services

July 7, 2021

Overview

COBRA now supports the integration and display of ArcGIS Feature Services in the mapping tool. This allows COBRA users to include dynamically updated map data using ArcGIS authoritative data feeds.

Add New Feature Services

To add a new ArcGIS Online Feature Service, you must be logged in as a System Administrator.

• Once logged in, proceed to the Administration page. There, click on the Mapping button and select the "Available Map Services" option.

• At the bottom of the Available Map Services page, click on the "Add Service Layer" Button.

• The "Add WMS/WFS Layer" modal now includes a "REST" option in the "Service Type" drop-down menu, in addition to a checkbox for the System Administrator to designate the layer as an "Authoritative Source." Copy and paste the Service URL for the ArcGIS Feature Service you wish to add; type in a Layer Name, ensure REST Service type is selected, and Authoritative Source is checked. Click the "Test Connection" button and verify that a Service Layer Name populates. Available ArcGIS Feature Services can be found here: https://services9.arcgis.com/RHVPKKiFTONKtxq3/ArcGIS/rest/services. Click the "Next" button at the bottom right corner of the modal to proceed to the next step.

• In the "Layer Selection" tab, use the checkboxes to select specific subset layers from the Feature Service you wish to be added to an incident, or select all available subset layers with the "Select All" button. After choosing Minimum and Maximum Zoom Levels, click the "Next" button to proceed to the "Select Fields to Display" tab.

• In the "Select Fields to Display" tab, use the checkboxes to select specific data fields from the Feature Service you wish to display on the incident map when the mouse hovers over data points. You can also use the "Select All" button if you wish to display all data fields available from the Feature Service Layer. Once all field selections are made, click the "Finish" button in the lower right-hand corner of the modal to complete the process.

Add Feature Service to Incident

Once a System Administrator creates a new Feature Service in COBRA, it can be added to an Incident map.

• In an Incident, hover over the "Collaboration Tools" icon and then select the first "Map" tool option. This will update the incident page to include mapping tools on the right side of the map display.

• Click on the "WMS/WFS" button, which expands a window to display current WMS, WFS, and other REST feature service layers added to the incident. Click on the to add a new Feature Service layer to the incident.

• The WMS/WFS modal will appear with two tabs: "Organizational Sources" and "Authoritative Sources." If the Feature Service Layer was not added as an Authoritative Source, it will appear in the dropdown of Organizational Sources. Once the Feature Service Layer is selected (e.g., USA_Wildfires_v1), use the toggle switch to select the available service layers, and then click the "Add" button.

• Once the Feature Service Layer is added, the data can be viewed in the map similarly to any other WMS/WFS service layer.

• If the Feature Service Layer was added as an Authoritative Source, it will appear in the dropdown of Authoritative Sources. Similar to Organizational sources, a user selects an available Feature Service from the dropdown menu and selects the available service layers to add to the incident map.

• Once the Authoritative Feature Service Layer is added, the data can be viewed in the map similarly to any other WMS/WFS or Organizational service layer.
