Export map products

Disponible avec une licence 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 facilitates cartographic production for designated members of your organization.

MPS web app production workflow

The following are the primary steps to export a map product:

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

Choose a map type

When the MPS web app is opened, 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 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 order, or click Sort by name again to sort them in descending order. Search for a map type by providing a keyword in the Search text box.

   

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

Specify export settings

After you have chosen a map type, use the Export Settings pane to specify the type of map product to export.

Conseil :

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 from the side of the page to open it.
2. Click the Map Version drop-down arrow and choose the standardized version for the map type to export.
3. Click the Export Format drop-down arrow and choose a file format 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 Map Service Layers.

   

   Item	Details
   	Allows you to expands or collapse the Map Service Layers section.
   	Allows you to check or uncheck all of the listed layers.
   	Allows you to show or hide all of the listed layers on the map in the app.
   	Allows you to zoom the map to the layer that is selected in the list. The selected layer must be visible in the app's map.
   	Allows you to pan the map to the layer that is selected in the list. The selected layer must be visible in the app's map.
   	Allows you to search for specific layers.
   	Allows you to include or exclude a layer's data in the exported map product. If this is unchecked, the layer still appears in the exported map product, but without any data.
   	Allows you to 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.

   The options for ancillary layers are the same as map service layers except that 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

After the export settings have been configured, 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 use 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 on clicked AOIs. Double-click to finish and highlight selected AOIs.
   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 zoom extent.
   Move to next extent	If you clicked Move to previous extent , this tool becomes available and allows you to move to the next zoom extent.

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

   The selected AOIs are added to the export queue.

   Conseil :

   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 data format and any non-existing map sheet IDs are ignored.

   The following syntax is an example of the JSON format for the list.

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

   Remarque :

   The MPS app can export hundreds of AOIs, but the time it takes to export varies based on your hardware's capacity.

Once all of the AOIs are added to the queue, you can start the export. Only the items that have a check mark in their check boxes are exported.

Run the export queue

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

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

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

2. Click the Export tab to switch views and monitor exports.

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

   Conseil :

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

   

   Status	Details
   Submitted	The map export has been submitted and not started yet.
   In Progress	The map is currently exporting. The status bar reflects the progress of the export. Hover over it to review what percentage is complete.
   Canceled	The map export was canceled.
   Failed	The map export failed.

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

   

   You can also change the field that is used to sort the list by clicking the Sort by drop-down arrow and choosing one of the following options:

   • Name
   • Submission Date
   • Status
4. Click Sort by to sort the list.
5. Click Refresh status to refresh the statuses of items in the list.

   Active exports automatically refresh every 30 seconds.

6. Click an item in the Map Exports Status pane to review its export details in the Export Details pane.

   This also highlights the AOI on the map.

7. Click Download output file next to a completed export job to download it.

   To cancel an export job that is in progress, click Cancel next to the job. You can also click Delete next to an export job to delete it.

When you choose to download a completed export, the options to save it appear depending on your browser's settings.
