When an existing Feature Service has been developed by MB&G WSG or LandMark it will be provided to you as a File Geodatabase (FGDB) and an ArcMap Document (*.mxd) or ArcPro Project (*.aprx). Additionally, you may be provided with ArcGIS Layer files (*.lyr) which define the symbology for feature layers. If business rules have already been developed, they will be stored in the FGDB in the appropriate tables (Rules, Related_Domains, Check_Rules). The steps below can be used to publish the Feature Service from these inputs. If you have developed the data model independently, the steps below can be used to develop an ArcMap Document or ArcPro Project and publish a Feature Service.

Once the symbology, projection, data model and Editor Tracking (see MobileMap: Data Model / Data Modeling Process for more information on data modeling and Editor Tracking) have been set and saved, follow the steps below to publish the map document as a feature service in ArcGIS Online / Portal.
...
Make sure to zoom out to an extent that covers all of the area for the relevant data to be published. For example, if you have data which consists of all counties in California, zoom out on the map to show California, Oregon and Mexico.
Once zoomed out, save the map document and do not zoom back in before publishing.
Ensure that you are logged in to your ArcGIS Account in ArcMap / ArcPro. To sign in from ArcMap, go to File -> Sign In.
Publish the service using the ‘Share’ option in ArcMap (File -> Share As -> Service). Select ‘Publish a service’ and name the service. We recommend using the same naming convention as field names - title case with underscores, and include a version number if helpful (e.g., Title_Case_With_Underscores_v2). Note that the feature service names will be displayed alphabetically in the ‘Select Feature Service’ dialog, and Android sorting is case sensitive - this means that ‘a' will be sorted below 'Z’ because capitol letters are sorted before (above) lower case letters. As described above, we recommend naming the ArcMap document (MXD) with that will be used for the feature service. This helps when overwriting a service after changes are made to the data model or symbology. Complete the following information during the publication process:
Capabilities - check Feature Access and uncheck Tiled Mapping.
Feature Access - check the boxes next to Create, Delete, Query, Sync, and Update. (Figure 11)
Item Description - add text in the Summary and Tags. If these were set in the Map Document Properties as suggested above, these will already be populated. Review them to make sure they are correct.
Sharing - choose the level of Sharing.
Selecting Everyone makes the feature service a ‘public’ service, meaning anyone could potentially find the service if they know what to search for on ArcGIS Online. This is NOT recommended.
Selecting your organization limits the sharing to just your group. (If you select your organization, you will need to put your ArcGIS Online user name and password in the settings of MB&G WSG MobileMap).
For MobileMap to find the service and display it in the ‘Select Feature Service’ dialog, the service must be shared with at least one group that the user is a member of. Sharing via ‘Everyone’ or ‘Your Organization’ is not sufficient for MobileMap to find the service.

Finally, select Publish in the upper right corner.
