Updating or Adding 'Hosted Layers'

Purpose/Overview

Navigation Path:

To access this feature, go to Utilisphere > System Management > Administration > General > Map Layers

Key Benefits/Use Cases:

• Enhanced map visibility: Easily overlay custom GIS data (such as utility lines, boundaries, or landmarks) on your maps for better situational awareness.
• Flexible layer control: Use the Layer Picker to turn layers on or off as needed, so you can focus on what’s relevant for each task.
• Seamless integration: Combine your organization’s GIS data with Utilisphere tools for a more complete and customized mapping experience.

Things to Know:

• Only users with admin-level access can import ESRI Map Layers 
• UtiliSphere support cannot assist with internal network settings, authentication protocols, or ESRI server configurations. Please work with your internal IT or ESRI support team for these items.
• If the layer turns red, this means there is an issue with the token from Step 3.

How It Works:

Follow these steps to import custom ESRI map layers:

1. Go to Utilisphere > System Management > Administration > General > Map Layers
2. From the menu on the left, click Add a Map Layer.
   

3. The Map Layer Information window will open, where you can enter the details to set up and display your custom ESRI map layer in UtiliSphere. When you’re done, click Add to save the layer.

   
   

4. Once updated, users can use the Layer Picker on their map to turn custom layers on or off as needed.
