Add images to existing Indoors features

Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the Indoors extension.

You can configure support for images in Indoor Viewer, ArcGIS Indoors for iOS, and ArcGIS Indoors for Android by adding the images to features in the Indoors workspace. You can then configure Indoors to display the images in a pop-up window when features are clicked on the map to help users visualize the physical space and the objects represented on the map.

You can associate images with Units, Details, Events, or other Indoors features by doing one of the following:

• Associate a hosted image with one or more features using an IMAGE_URL field. For example, you can reuse an image of a fire extinguisher for multiple point features representing fire extinguisher locations.
• Associate multiple images with a feature using attachments. For example, you can attach several images of kitchen amenities to a Units feature representing a kitchen.

Associate a hosted image with one or more features

To associate a hosted image with one or more features, complete the following steps:

1. Start ArcGIS Pro.
2. Sign in to your ArcGIS organization if necessary.
3. Create a project and add a connection to the Indoors geodatabase or open an existing project that contains the Indoors geodatabase.
4. If necessary, use the Add Field tool to add a field named IMAGE_URL to the Indoors layers that contain the features that you want to associate with an image.
   1. For the Input Table parameter, choose the Indoors layer that contains the features that you want to associate with an image.
   2. Type IMAGE_URL in the Field Name text box.
   3. For the Field Type parameter, choose Text.
   4. Type 5000 in the Field Length text box.
   5. Ensure that the Field supports null values check box is checked.
   6. Leave the remaining parameters set to their default values.
   7. Click Run.

      The IMAGE_URL field is added to the selected layer.

5. Copy the URL of the hosted image that you want to add to the features.

   The location where the image is hosted must be accessible for the image to display.

6. Paste the URL of the hosted image in the feature's IMAGE_URL field.

   Tip:

   You can also use the Calculate Field tool to create a SQL expression to populate the IMAGE_URL attribute of multiple features.

7. Enable pop-ups in the indoor map.

Associate multiple images with a feature

To associate multiple images with a feature, complete the following steps:

1. Start ArcGIS Pro.
2. Sign in to your ArcGIS organization if necessary.
3. Create a project and add a connection to the Indoors geodatabase or open an existing project that contains the Indoors geodatabase.
4. Enable file attachments for the Indoors layers that you want to associate with images.

   Tip:

   If you're using a feature service in your ArcGIS Enterprise portal, you must enable editing on the feature service before adding attachments to the layer in the web map.

5. Attach one or more image files to a feature in the layer.
6. Enable pop-ups in the indoor map.
