Export map products

Disponible con licencia de Defense Mapping.

The self-serve Map Production System (MPS) web app can export map products in various formats. You can export a map product as an ArcGIS Pro project (.aprx), layout (.pagx), .pdf, or .tiff file. Once configured, the web app can be used for cartographic production by designated members of your organization.

Export a product

The following are the high-level steps to export a map product:

1. Choose a map type.
2. Define export settings.
3. Queue areas of interest (AOIs) for export.
4. Run the export queue.

Choose a map type

When you open the MPS web app, you're prompted to choose a map type. The map types that appear in the Map Types pane are determined by the types that were configured in ArcGIS Pro when the map was shared as a map layer.

1. Ensure that you configured the MPS web app settings correctly to start using it.

   

2. In the Map Types pane, click Select for the map product that you want to export.

   The number of available map types is shown at the top of the Map Types pane. Click Sort by name to sort them alphabetically by name in ascending or descending order. Search for a map type by providing a keyword in the Search text box.

   

A map that contains the AOI index for the specified map type appears and the Export Settings pane becomes active.

Define export settings

Once you select a map type, use the Export Settings pane to choose the type of map product to export.

Sugerencia:

You can drag the edge of the Export Settings pane to resize it.

1. If the Export Settings pane does not appear, click Export Settings on the side of the page to open it.
2. Click the Map Version drop-down arrow and choose the version for the map type to export.
3. Click the Export Format drop-down arrow and choose one of the following file formats for the exported map product:
   • APRX
   • PAGX
   • PDF
   • TIFF

   If you chose PDF or TIFF, click the Export Preset drop-down arrow and choose an export preset.

4. Expand the Map Service Layers drop-down menu.

   

   The items number in the following table correspond to the numbers in the image above:

   Item	Description
   	Expand or collapse the Map Service Layers section.
   	Include or exclude all map service layers.
   	Show or hide all of the listed layers on the map in the app.
   	Zoom the map to the layer that is selected in the list. The selected layer must be visible in the app's map.
   	Pan the map to the layer that is selected in the list. The selected layer must be visible in the app's map.
   	Search for specific layers.
   	Include or exclude a layer's data in the exported map product. If these are unchecked, the layer still appears in the exported map product without any data.
   	Show or hide the layer on the map in the app.

5. Optionally, expand Ancillary Layers and click Add Layers to add ancillary layers to the map.

   Ancillary layers that aren't checked don't appear in the exported map product.

After the export settings are specified, you can select the AOIs to export.

Queue AOIs for export

Once you configure the export settings, select the AOIs on the map that you want to export. The size of the AOIs are dependent on the type of map product. You can select AOIs with points, a rectangle, or a predefined custom extent.

1. Use one of following selection tools to specify the AOIs to export:

   Select features by point	Select AOIs by placing a point. Double-click to finish and select AOIs that have a point.
   Select features by rectangle	Select AOIs by drawing a rectangle. AOIs that intersect the rectangle are highlighted.
   Custom Extent by Point	Create and select a custom AOI.
   Clear AOI selection	Clear the AOI selection.
   Move to full extent of AOI layer	Zoom to the full extent of the AOI layer.
   Move to previous extent	Zoom to the previous extent.
   Move to next extent	If you clicked Move to previous extent , this tool becomes available and allows you to move to the next extent.

2. Click Add AOIs in map to export queue in the Export Queue pane.

   The selected AOIs are added to the export queue.

   Sugerencia:

   You can drag the edge of the Export Queue pane to resize it. Click Sort by name to sort the queue alphabetically by name in ascending or descending order, or drag an item in the queue to rearrange the order. Click Clear all items from queue to clear the queued items.

3. Alternatively, click Import map sheet ids from a file to import a list of map sheets.

   The list must be in JSON format and any map sheets without IDs are ignored. The time it takes to export varies based on your hardware's capacity.

   For example:

   
   {
     "sheetIdField": "NRN",
     "sheetIdentifiers": [
       "A0000B00000",
       "A0000B00001",
       "A0000B00002"
     ]
   }

   Nota:

   For sheetIdField values, string data types must be in quotation marks, and number data types—such as integer or float—cannot be in quotation marks.

Once all of the AOIs are added to the queue, you can start the export. Only the checked items are exported.

Run the export queue

Once you add AOIs to the export queue, you can begin exporting them, track their progress, and download completed exports.

1. Click Export in the Export Queue pane to export the checked items in the queue.

   The export is started and items are removed from the queue as they are exported.

2. Click the Export tab.

   The Map Exports Status and Export Details panes appear. The Map Exports Status pane lists all of the exports.

   Sugerencia:

   You can filter the list to show completed, in progress, failed, or canceled exports.

   

   The following table describes the map export status types:

   Status	Description
   Completed	The map export is complete.
   In Progress	The map is currently exporting. The status bar reflects the progress of the export. Hover over it to check the progress.
   Failed	The map export failed.
   Canceled	The map export was canceled.

3. Click Change options to filter the list by a date range.

   Sugerencia:

   To filter the list further, click the Users drop-down list and choose a user.

   To change the field that is used to sort the list, click the Sort by drop-down arrow and choose one of the following options:

   • Name
   • Submission Date
   • Status
   • Map Type
   • User
   • Progress

   The filter and sort options appear.

   

4. Click Apply to apply the changes and return to the Map Exports Status pane.
5. Click Sort by to sort the list by the specified field.
6. Click Refresh status to refresh the status of each item in the list.

   Active exports automatically refresh every 30 seconds.

7. Click an item in the Map Exports Status pane to review details in the Export Details pane.

   This also highlights the AOI on the map.
