ArcMap/ArcPro Document

Once the data model has been created add all Layers and Tables to your Map in ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro, then adjust the layer order and symbology using the information below.

Map Properties

  • Map Layer - set projection to Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere

  • Map Document Properties - you must supply the following attributes prior to publishing

    • Tags - We recommend using ‘MobileMap’ and optionally ‘InventoryManager’ (if relevant)

Layer Order

The typical layer order is as follows:

  • Layers

    • Plots

    • Stands

    • Source_Stands

    • Generic Points

    • Generic Lines

    • Generic Polylines

    • Tracks

  • Tables

    • Trees

    • Logs

    • Rules

    • Check_Rules

    • Related_Domains

Symbology

For each layer, apply symbology using Layer files (*.lyr) that are provided to you, or by creating your own symbology. While MobileMap supports a very wide range of symbols, InventoryManager is somewhat more limited. Please conform to the following standards to ensure maximum compatibility across the system.

  • Required

    • Simple Feature Symbols - Use Esri’s Simple Feature Symbols (esriSMS, esriSLS, esriSFS) instead of more complex Picture Marker Symbols. This is especially important for points. Simple Marker Symbols (esriSMS) use JSON instructions to define the size, color, outline color, outline width, etc. for the symbol, instead of using an encoded image as the symbol.

    • Unique Value Renderer

      • If using a Unique Value Renderer (e.g., a different color for each Plot according to it’s Status value), only use a single field to determine the symbol (not 2 or more fields)

      • Default values - use a default value with Unique Value Renderers to ensure that features that have a null for the category field will still have a symbol on the map

  • Suggested

    • Points

      • Size greater than or equal to 10

      • No outline - while outlines can be helpful for seeing points with low contrast to background (e.g., a green point on a forested stand using imagery background, they can also make things visually cluttered and can obscure the fill color when points are too small. Instead, try to use colors that have high contrast and avoid using outlines. We have found that bright green is generally sufficiently high contrast to vegetation in most scenarios.

    • Lines

      • Line width of 2

      • If lines might overlap, consider use of dashed lines for layers that will be above, or increased thickness for layers that will be below

    • Polygons

      • Hollow (no fill) allows for viewing of imagery within the polygon. This is especially true for forestry applications where users want to see the distribution of vegetation cover in forest stands

      • Line width of 2
