Share floor-aware maps

Available with the ArcGIS Indoors Pro or ArcGIS Indoors Maps extension.

You can share floor-aware maps to your ArcGIS organization and explore them using the floor filter in Map Viewer or use them to create web and mobile apps.

Share floor-aware maps to an ArcGIS organization

You can share a floor-aware web map that contains feature service layers or map image layers to your ArcGIS organization and use it in Map Viewer or other apps that support floor-aware maps.

Note:

Some apps require additional configuration steps before sharing a floor-aware web map. Refer to the documentation for the app with which you will be using the floor-aware map.

Complete the following steps to share a floor-aware web map:

1. Open a floor-aware map in an ArcGIS Pro project.
2. Sign in to the ArcGIS organization licensed for ArcGIS Indoors.
3. On the ribbon, click the Share tab. In the Share As group, click Web Map .

   The Share As Web Map pane appears.

4. Optionally, update the name of the web map and add a summary and tags.
5. Select a configuration for the web map.

   Depending on your active portal, different configurations are available. If you share to an ArcGIS Enterprise portal, there are configurations that reference registered data and configurations that copy data to the server. If you share to ArcGIS Online, there are only configurations that copy data to the server.

   The following configurations are supported for sharing floor-aware maps:

   Reference registered data: Exploratory	Map layers are shared as a dynamically rendered map image layer. This interactive map supports querying and is ideal for displaying regularly updated data. This configuration is not available when sharing to ArcGIS Online. Note: If you open a web map shared with the Reference registered data: Exploratory configuration method in ArcGIS Pro, you can review the web map's Indoor Layers properties, but you cannot edit them.
   Reference registered data: Editable	Map layers are shared as a dynamically rendered map image layer. Any feature layers in the map are also shared as an editable feature layer. This editable map is ideal for enterprise editing workflows, as the web layers honor data sources registered with the federated server. This configuration is not available when sharing to ArcGIS Online.
   Copy all data: Exploratory	Feature layers are shared as a web feature layer with editing turned on. Other map layers are shared as tile layers. This editable map is ideal for collecting data from users who do not have access to your enterprise data.
   Copy all data: Editable	Feature layers are shared as a web feature layer with editing turned on. Other map layers are shared as tile layers. This editable map is ideal for collecting data from users who do not have access to your enterprise data. Feature layers are shared as a web feature layer with editing turned on. Other map layers are shared as tile layers.

6. Under Finish Sharing, click Analyze to review for potential problems.

   Errors and warnings are listed on the Messages tab. Right-click a message to open its help topic or take corrective action in the software. Errors must be resolved before you can share your GIS resource. Resolving warnings is recommended but not required.

7. After you have resolved errors, and optionally resolved warnings, click Share to share the web map.

Once you have shared a floor-aware map to your ArcGIS organization, you can open it in Map Viewer and use it to create web and mobile apps.

Tip:

When managing large datasets in web maps, consider the following strategies for improving feature service performance:

• Use map image layers for noneditable layers.
• Set scale dependencies on feature-heavy layers, such as the Details layer.
• Increase the maximum number of dedicated instances for a large feature service.
• Increase the maximum records returned by a feature service.

Configure floor-aware maps in Map Viewer

You can create floor-aware maps in ArcGIS Pro and review them in Map Viewer in your ArcGIS organization on Enterprise or ArcGIS Online. When you open a floor-aware map in Map Viewer, a floor filter widget is available at the bottom of the map.

If your ArcGIS organization is licensed with the ArcGIS Indoors Maps extension, you can configure floor-aware maps in Map Viewer by setting the map's indoor layer properties or update properties for existing floor-aware web maps. You must have the privileges to create content to configure floor-aware maps.

Note:

Configuring floor awareness properties in Map Viewer is supported in ArcGIS Online and at ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2.

Complete the following steps to configure floor-aware maps in your ArcGIS organization:

1. Open a map that contains floor plan layers that conform to the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model or add the layers to a new map in Map Viewer.
2. On the Contents (dark) toolbar, click Map properties .
3. In the Indoor layers section of the Map properties pane, turn on the Enable floor filtering toggle button.
4. Set new indoor layers properties or modify existing properties.

   At a minimum, you must specify a polygon feature layer representing facilities and a polygon feature layer representing floors.

5. Optionally, do the following to specify additional point, line, or polygon feature layers in your map to include in floor filtering:
   1. Click Add layers.
   2. In the Add layers window, choose a layer and click Next.
   3. Choose the attribute field that contains the floor-level ID for features in the layer and click Add.
   4. Repeat the above steps to add more layers.
6. On the Contents toolbar, click Save and open and click Save to save the floor configuration to the map.

Use floor-aware maps in other apps

Apps that support floor awareness provide an interactive experience in which users can explore floor plan data. Floor-aware maps are supported by ArcGIS Indoors apps and other ArcGIS apps such as ArcGIS Field Maps and ArcGIS Experience Builder. You can also use floor-aware maps as the foundation for custom apps.

Examples of apps that support floor awareness include the following:

• ArcGIS Indoors apps—Floor-aware maps are required to configure Indoors web and mobile apps. Floor-aware maps used in Indoors apps require more configuration. Review the documentation for preparing and sharing maps for each of the following apps before sharing web maps for use with them:
  • Indoor Viewer—Explore floor-aware maps and scenes using the interactive floor filter, review detailed information about features, route between features, book meeting rooms or office hotels, call or send emails to occupants, and start apps to log issues or configure work orders.
  • Indoor Space Planner—Plan occupant activity in indoor spaces, including assigning occupants to individual spaces or activity-based work areas called hotels, and visualize how occupants are assigned to spaces using the interactive floor filter.
  • Indoor Floor Plan Editor—Modify floor plan data to reflect real world changes to your indoor spaces.
  • Indoors Mobile—Use ArcGIS Indoors for iOS or ArcGIS Indoors for Android to explore floor-aware maps and scenes using the interactive floor filter; view indoor maps; and interact with them in various ways, including exploring, searching, saving, and sharing points of interest, reporting incidents related to indoor assets, and getting landmark-based directions.
• ArcGIS Field Maps—Floor-aware maps allow mobile workers to review indoor feature layers that contain information about floors and buildings and use the floor filter to visualize indoor assets by floor.
• ArcGIS Experience Builder—If you use a floor-aware map to create an app in Experience Builder, you can add the Floor Filter widget to visualize and interact with floor plan data.
• Custom web and mobile apps—You can share floor-aware maps and interact with them in custom apps using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript FloorFilter widget.
