ArcGIS Online Custom Map Data Integration
Introduction
Effective data visualization is crucial for informed decision-making. AirHub® Portal’s ArcGIS Online web map integration empowers organizations to tailor their AirHub Portal map to satisfy their organization’s unique data needs. Integrating your organization's unique data alongside AirHub® Portal’s regulatory and risk-focused data gives you a comprehensive and unified view of your airspace, ground risks, and operational activities, enabling informed decisions, optimized operations, and enhanced safety and compliance.
Our web map integration empowers you to retain complete control over your data. Creating a custom web map within your ArcGIS Online organization and adding your organization’s public or private data, ensures that your information remains secure. Once you've created your web map, simply share its link with Airspace Link. We'll register it with your AirHub® Portal organization, making your data instantly accessible to your users without compromising your data's integrity.
NOTE: Integrating your custom web map into AirHub Portal does not replace the existing AirHub Portal map. Instead, it adds new layers of data to your map, enhancing your overall situational awareness.
Prerequisites
An ArcGIS Online organizational account
Basic understanding of ArcGIS Online and web maps
Step-by-Step Guide
Create a Web Map in ArcGIS Online (Optional)
Note: If you don't already have a web map that contains your organization's data, follow these steps to create one in ArcGIS Online:
Log in: Sign in to your ArcGIS Online organizational account with a Creator user type
Create a New Map: Navigate to the Map tab
Add Your Data:
Feature Layers: These layers consist of individual geographic features, such as points, lines, and polygons. Each feature can have associated attributes like name, description, or numeric values. Feature layers are ideal for visualizing and analyzing spatial data, such as locations of assets, boundaries, or transportation networks.
Sketch Layer: A sketch layer allows users without any GIS experience to quickly add markup and annotation to the map.
Tile Layers: Tile layers are pre-rendered images, typically displaying high-resolution drone or satellite imagery.
Style and Symbolize:
Customize the appearance of your layers using symbols, colors, and labels.
Set appropriate visibility ranges.
Save and Share:
Save your map with a descriptive name. This name will be visible within the Map Styles and Layers tool within AirHub Portal.
Share the map with the appropriate permissions. You can share it with specific groups within your organization or make it public.
NOTE: Public map sharing is preferred as it’s the easiest to configure within AirHub Portal. If you have sensitive data that cannot be shared publicly, Airspace Link can assist your organization with configuring advanced authentication, which reduces the frequency of ArcGIS Online login prompts your users will receive.
Integrate the Web Map into AirHub Portal
Obtain the Sharing URL: With your ArcGIS Online map open, copy the web map URL from the browser.
Configure AirHub Portal with the Custom Web Map: Send the Web Map URL to [email protected] along with the name of your AirHub Portal Organization. The configuration is typically completed within 24 hours.
Support for Secured Services (Optional)
If your web map is secure or it contains secured services, you may encounter a login prompt when accessing it in AirHub Portal. Consider creating an OAuth2.0 authentication application within your ArcGIS Online instance. Send the Client ID to [email protected] and we’ll configure a long-standing token for your AirHub Portal organization, minimizing the number of ArcGIS online login prompts for your users.
The Result
All data added to your web map will be overlaid on the AirHub Portal web map for all your organization’s Portal users. If you wish to update your map at any time, simply access the web map through ArcGIS online, make modifications, and save the map. When you refresh AirHub Portal next, your changes will be reflected.
