Available with the ArcGIS Indoors Spaces extension.
Indoor Space Planner allows you to assign occupants to individual spaces or activity-based workspace areas and define these workspace areas for hot desks, office hotels, or meeting rooms. You can use ArcGIS Enterprise to share floor-aware web maps based on your organization’s requirements. Sharing a Space Planner web map to Enterprise requires setting up branch versioning in the Enterprise geodatabase and enabling version management for the editable web layers when publishing. This is required by the Space Planner app to support space plan management.
Note:
To host app services on an Enterprise portal, ArcGIS Indoors requires ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 or later. Check with your system administrator to ensure your ArcGIS Enterprise installation is fully configured and free from issues before sharing.
Share a Space Planner web map to Enterprise
Sharing a Space Planner web map to an Enterprise portal is a multistep process that includes the following high-level steps:
- Share a branch versioned feature layer that contains the Units
and Occupants feature classes, and the Areas table. Optionally include the Area roles table if you want to configure reservation managers.
You can include additional layers in the branch versioned feature layer. For example, if you plan to update floor plans and import them from a CAD or BIM file, you can include all of your floor plan layers (Facilities, Levels, Units, and Details) as part of the branch versioned feature layer. When you import updated CAD or BIM files, you can then import them directly to a branch version and integrate them into your web apps.
- Update the data source for the Units and Occupants layers, the Areas table, and optionally the Area roles table in the map you prepared in ArcGIS Pro. Select the shared branch versioned feature layer as the new data source.
If you shared additional layers as part of the branch versioned feature layer, you can update the data sources for these layers, but it isn't required.
- Share the web map to your portal to use in the Space Planner app.
Prerequisites
To use the Reference registered data option to share your Space Planner versioned feature layer, you must register the data store with your ArcGIS Enterprise portal’s federated servers. To create a data store for your geodatabase on your portal, register the data store before publishing using the Manage registered data stores pane.
Note:
If you don't register your geodatabase as a data store on your Enterprise portal, an analyzer error message appears when you share the layers as referenced data. Click the error message on the analyzer to register the data store.
Share a versioned feature layer
The sharing process for versioned data is the same as for any web layer except you must enable the version management capability for the feature layer.
- Open the map you prepared for Space Planner in ArcGIS Pro.
- If necessary, sign in to your Enterprise portal.
- Select the Occupants and Units layers, and the Areas and Area Roles tables in the Contents pane.
- Right-click and click Sharing > Share As Web Layer.
The Share As Web Layer pane appears.
- Complete the following steps to use the Share As Web Layer pane to share your Space Planner versioned feature layers to your Enterprise portal.
- Click the Configuration tab in the Share As Web Layer pane.
- In the Capabilities section, check the Version Management check box.
This is required for the feature layer to participate in versioning workflows.
Note:
If this option is not available in the Capabilities list, the source data for the layers may not be registered as versioned, or may not have branch versioning enabled on the data store connection. You must address this before proceeding.
- Click the Configure Pooling button
near the top of the pane. - In the Instance Type section, choose Dedicated Instance.
Note:
Shared instance pools don't support version management.
- Click Analyze to fix any errors.
- Click Publish.
Update the data source for Space Planner layers
Update the data source to the branch versioned feature layer you shared to your portal for the Units and Occupants layers, the Areas table, and optionally any other layers you shared as branch versioned.
Using branch versioning for the Units and Occupants layers and the Areas table is required to make updates to space assignments in the Space Planner app.
- On the View tab, in the Windows group, click Catalog View
.A new Catalog view appears.
- On the Catalog tab, in the Update group, click Data Sources
.The layers and stand-alone tables referenced in the entire current project are listed along with the path to their data source. Or you can filter this list to show the contents of one map only by selecting the map in the Contents pane of the Catalog view.
- Click the Browse button
in the New Path column for the
Occupants layer. - Choose the Occupants layer from the branch versioned feature layer you shared to your portal.
- Update the data source for the Units layer, the Areas table, and any other layers for which you want to update the data source.
- Under Manage, on the Data Sources tab, click Close
to close the Update Data Sources mode
of the Catalog view.
Your map is now ready to share to your portal and be used to configure a Space Planner app.
Share a Space Planner web map to Enterprise
You can share a Space Planner web map that contains only feature layers or includes map image layers. Map image layer-based web maps provide support for symbology scales, advanced cartography, and performance and scalability.
To share a Space Planner web map, complete the following steps:
- Open the map you prepared for Space Planner ArcGIS Pro.
- If necessary, sign in to your Enterprise portal.
- On the Share tab, in the Share As group, click Web Map
.The Share As Web Map pane appears.
- For Select a Configuration, choose one of the following options:
- Reference Registered Data: Exploratory—Map layers are shared as a dynamically rendered map image layer. Only the layers sourced from the branch versioned feature layer are editable.
- Reference Registered Data: Editable—Map layers are shared as a dynamically rendered map image layer. Feature layers included in the map are also shared as an editable feature layer.
- Copy all data: Exploratory—Feature layers are shared as a web feature layer with editing turned off.
- Copy all data: Editable—Feature layers are shared as a web feature layer with editing turned on.
Note:
The layers that are sourced from the branch versioned feature layer you created when preparing the map for Space Planner will be editable feature layers in the published web map regardless of the option you choose.
- Choose the appropriate Share with option:
- Everyone—Share your content with the public. Anyone can access and see it.
- My Organization—Share your content with all authenticated users in your organization. This option is available when you are signed in with an organizational account.
- Groups—Share your content with groups to which you belong and their members.
- Click Analyze and fix any errors in your web map.
- Click Share to publish your web map.
- Browse to your web map in the portal and ensure that it published correctly.
- Set the accessibility of the Space Planner web map to other members or groups in your organization.
You can share the services the app uses with everyone who needs to use the app. If the services are not shared with everyone, the app prompts users to sign in with their portal credentials.
You can configure a Space Planner app based on the shared web map.
