Create the ArcGIS IPS Data Model

Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the ArcGIS IPS extension.

The IPS data model supports the management of information necessary to configure indoor positioning in IPS-aware maps. The IPS model is designed to work on a subset of the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model, which must be configured for IPS.

You can use the Create IPS Data Model tool to apply the IPS model to an existing workspace. This tool also provides an option to create the required subset of the ArcGIS Indoors model and configure it for IPS.

To create the ArcGIS IPS Data Model, complete the following steps:

1. Start ArcGIS Pro.
2. Create a map project.
3. Create a file geodatabase, or use an existing file or enterprise geodatabase to create the ArcGIS IPS data model.
4. On the Analysis tab, click Tools .

   The Geoprocessing pane appears.

5. In the Geoprocessing pane, click the Toolboxes tab.
6. Expand Indoor Positioning Tools.
7. Click the Create IPS Data Model tool.

   The Create IPS Data Model tool opens in the Geoprocessing pane.

8. Configure the following parameters:
   1. Click Browse next to Target Workspace and choose an empty file or enterprise geodatabase.
   2. Click the Select Coordinate System button to choose the spatial reference that is most appropriate for your data.
   3. Optionally, check the Setup Indoors Model for IPS to create the necessary subset of the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model and configure it for ArcGIS IPS.

      If Target Workspace already contains the necessary Indoors model, checking the Setup Indoors Model for IPS check box will configure the workspace for IPS. If the model is already configured for IPS, checking this option will have no effect.

      Note:

      The Setup Indoors Model for IPS parameter is unchecked by default. If you have an Indoors dataset available and are planning to manually configure transitions and pathways, leave the Setup Indoors Model for IPS check box unchecked.

9. Click Run.

   The ArcGIS IPS Data Model is created in the selected workspace and appears in the Catalog pane.

10. In the Catalog  pane, browse to the newly created dataset and inspect its contents.
