Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the IPS extension.
The ArcGIS IPS Information Model supports the management of indoor positioning information necessary to share properly configured web maps and mobile map packages for use with the ArcGIS IPS Setup app and other indoor positioning-enabled apps.
The IPS model consists of two required tables and one optional feature class (Transitions). Use the Enable Indoor Positioning tool to create the required tables for the IPS model. The tables contain all the fields required for IPS-enabled apps.
Data can then be directly added to the IPS tables using the IPS Setup app. The Generate Indoor Positioning File tool processes the survey data and generates a positioning file to enable the indoor positioning system.
