Enable Fixed Product type

Available with Standard or Advanced license.

Available with Production Mapping license.

Available with ArcGIS Maritime license.

Fixed and Custom products are supported in Products on Demand (PoD). These are options set in the web application Java configuration file, podconfig.js. You can choose which product type your PoD app displays: Custom Product or Fixed Product.

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 server layer.

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 organization account, and the added data shows in the web map and the exported PDF. Custom Product is the default setting in the web application.

Note:

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

Publish areas of interest for a Fixed Product

A polygon feature class with areas of interest representing chart extents must be created. This Fixed AOI polygon feature class is published as a map service to ArcGIS Server with Feature Access capability enabled.

Field name	Explanation	Data type
chart_name	Displays the name inside area of interest and is the chart title at export.	String
orientation	Orientation of the sheet. Attributes are Portrait and Landscape.	String
page_size	Valid 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, enter 20000.	Double

Note:

A sample fixed AOI polygon feature class is located at <ArcGIS Server installation drive>\arcgisserver\directories\maritimeserver\productsondemand\ 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\productsondemand\FixedProduct\FixedProduct.gdb. The geodatabase must be inside the FixedProduct folder without a file extension.

A fixed AOI polygon feature class must be created with the following mandatory fields.

Note:

Field names must be lowercase.

It's recommended that you configure label and symbol properties of the feature layer before publishing it to your service.

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