Configuring Geometry Services

The ArcGIS Mapping Geometry Services list determines the geometry service endpoint used by ArcGIS for SharePoint to perform geometric operations. This is used, for instance, by the ArcGIS Map Web Part Find Nearby operation and by the web part to project list items to spatial references other than WGS84 (WKID 4326) and Web Mercator (WKID 102100).

The number of geometry services included in the list is static. You should not add or remove items to or from this list. However, you can edit the existing item to specify any ArcGIS Server geometry service.

Column

Description

Title

The identifier for the geometry service list item

If ArcGIS for SharePoint is not able to connect to the endpoint specified, it will attempt to use the ArcGIS Online geometry service.
