Enable the Fixed Product type

Mit der Standard- oder Advanced-Lizenz verfügbar.

Mit der Production Mapping-Lizenz verfügbar.

Mit der ArcGIS Maritime-Lizenz verfügbar.

Fixed and custom products are supported in Custom Chart Builder (CCB). These are options set in the web app Java configuration file, ccbconfig.js. You can choose which product type your CCB app displays: Custom or fixed.

The Fixed Product option is for more standardized cartographic outputs. The host organization defines the chart extent, scale, page size, and orientation available in the web app. You can choose a chart extent from a published feature service.

Hinweis:

You must create areas of interest (AOIs) representing chart extents before enabling the Fixed Product option.

The Custom Product option allows you to create charts anywhere. Charts are built in real time using the scale, page size, and orientation options in the app. You can add data from ArcGIS Online or your ArcGIS organization account, and the added data appears in the web map and the exported PDF. Custom Product is the default setting in the web app.

Publish areas of interest for a fixed product

A polygon feature class with areas of interest (AOIs) representing chart extents must be created before enabling the Fixed Product option. This fixed AOI polygon feature class is published as a map service to ArcGIS Server with the Feature Access capability enabled.

A fixed AOI polygon feature class must include the following mandatory fields:

Field nameExplanationData type

chart_name

Displays the name inside the area of interest and is the chart title at export.

String

orientation

Orientation of the sheet. Valid field values are Portrait and Landscape.

String

page_size

Valid field values for page_size are A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, C, D, E, and Letter.

String

scale

The scale of the chart product. For example, if the scale is 1:20,000, type 20000.

Double

Hinweis:

A sample fixed AOI polygon feature class is located at <ArcGIS Server installation drive>\arcgisserver\directories\maritimeserver\customchartbuilder\FixedProduct.zip. This geodatabase contains a feature class with the mandatory fields and attributes.

When extracting the .zip file, verify the file path is ArcGIS Server installation drive>\arcgisserver\directories\maritimeserver\customchartbuilder\FixedProduct\FixedProduct.gdb. The geodatabase must be inside the FixedProduct folder without a file extension.

Hinweis:
Keep the following in mind:
  • Chart titles cannot contain special characters (such as #, %, &, +, [, ], /, :, *, ?, ", <, >, |).
  • Field names must be lowercase.

It is recommended that you configure the label and symbol properties of a feature layer before publishing it to your service so that features can be identified on the map.

Learn how to label with a standard label engine and apply symbology to draw individual layers in a single category.
