Roadway Characteristics Editor configuration properties

Properties

Description

webmap

Specifies the unique ID or URL to an authored web map hosted either on ArcGIS.com or on the web server. After authoring a web and sharing it publicly, the contents can be accessed directly by a URL.

For example, if the web map is hosted on ArcGIS.com, log in with your global account and navigate to My Content. Click on the title of the web map you are interested in to get more details. At this point, the URL is going to look like the following format: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=<webmapID>

For example, http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=1dcf369089804329946e3b3abf385251.

Ensure that the web map is shared with everyone (public).

Copy only the ID portion of the URL as the web map ID value for the configuration.

"webmap": "1dcf369089804329946e3b3abf385251",

If the web map is hosted on a server, then the URL would look similar to the following: http://<HostName>/RoadwayCharacteristics/rwc.json, where rwc.json is the text file that contains the web map definition.

"webmap": "http://<Host Name>/ RoadwayCharacteristics/rwc.json",

geometryServiceUrl

Specifies the URL to a geometry service. By default, the config file contains a link to the geometry service hosted on ArcGIS Online, but it can be configured to refer to any geometry service hosted on any other ArcGIS server instance.

"proxyUrl": "proxy/proxy.ashx",
