ArcGisMapServerCatalogItem

Creates a single item in the catalog from one or many ESRI WMS layers.

Note: The following example does not specify layers property therefore will present all layers in the given URL as single catalog item. To present specific layers only, add them in layers property, e.g. "layers": "AUS_GA_2500k_MiscLines,AUS_GA_2500k_Faults".

Example usage

{
  "url": "https://services.ga.gov.au/gis/rest/services/GA_Surface_Geology/MapServer",
  "type": "esri-mapServer",
  "name": "Surface Geology"
}

ArcGisMapServerCatalogItemTraits

Trait Type Default Description
layers string

The layer or layers to display. This can be a comma separated string of layer IDs or names.

maximumScale number

Gets or sets the denominator of the largest scale (smallest denominator) for which tiles should be requested. For example, if this value is 1000, then tiles representing a scale larger than 1:1000 (i.e. numerically smaller denominator, when zooming in closer) will not be requested. Instead, tiles of the largest-available scale, as specified by this property, will be used and will simply get blurier as the user zooms in closer.

parameters any

Additional parameters to pass to the MapServer when requesting images.

tokenUrl string

URL to use for fetching request tokens

maxRefreshIntervals number 10000

The maximum number of discrete times that can be created by a single date range when layer in time-enabled.

timeWindowDuration number

Specify a time window duration when querying a time-enabled layer. Will not query with time window for non-positive value

timeWindowUnit string

The time window unit for the Time Window Duration. Any units supported by moment module are valid, such as, year, month, week, day, hour, etc. Will not query time with window if the unit is invalid or undefined.

isForwardTimeWindow boolean true

If true, the time window is forward from the current time. Otherwise backward. Default to forward window.

usePreCachedTilesIfAvailable boolean

If true, the server's pre-cached tiles are used if they are available. If false, then the MapServer export endpoint will be used. This will default to true if no specific layers are fetched (i.e. all layers are fetched). Otherwise, it will default to false. This will also default to false if parameters have been specified

AttributionTraits
attribution string

The attribution to display with the data.

CatalogMemberTraits
name string

The name of the catalog item.

description string

The description of the catalog item. Markdown and HTML may be used.

hideDefaultDescription boolean

If true, then no generic default description will be displayed if description is undefined.

nameInCatalog string

The name of the item to be displayed in the catalog, if it is different from the one to display in the workbench.

info InfoSectionTraits[]

Human-readable information about this dataset.

infoSectionOrder string[]

An array of section titles defining the display order of info sections. If this property is not defined, {@link DataPreviewSections}'s DEFAULT_SECTION_ORDER is used

isOpenInWorkbench boolean true

shortReport string

A short report to show on the now viewing tab.

shortReportSections ShortReportTraits[]

A list of collapsible sections of the short report

isExperiencingIssues boolean

Whether the catalog item is experiencing issues which may cause its data to be unavailable

hideSource boolean

Indicates that the source of this data should be hidden from the UI (obviously this isn't super-secure as you can just look at the network requests).

metadataUrls MetadataUrlTraits[]

Metadata URLs to show in data catalog.

dataUrls DataUrlTraits[]

Data URLs to show in data catalog.

dataCustodian string

Gets or sets a description of the custodian of this data item.

modelDimensions EnumDimensionTraits[]

disableAboutData boolean

Disables the 'About Data' button in the workbench.

shareable boolean true

True (default) if this catalog member may be included in share links. False to exclude it from share links.

ChartTraits
chartType string

Type determines how the data availibility will be plotted on chart. eg: momentLines, momentPoints

chartDisclaimer string

A HTML string to show above the chart as a disclaimer

chartColor string

The color to use when the data set is displayed on the chart. The value can be any html color string, eg: 'cyan' or '#00ffff' or 'rgba(0, 255, 255, 1)' for the color cyan.

chartGlyphStyle string

The glyph style to use for points plotted on the chart. Allowed values include circle, cross, diamond, square, star, triangle, wye. Default is "circle".

DiscretelyTimeVaryingTraits
fromContinuous string nearest

Specifies how a continuous time (e.g. the timeline control) is mapped to a discrete time for this dataset. Valid values are:
* nearest - the nearest available discrete time to the current continuous time is used.
* next - the discrete time equal to or after the current continuous time is used.
* previous - the discrete time equal to or before the current continuous time is used.

showInChartPanel boolean

Whether to plot data availability on a chart.

disableDateTimeSelector boolean

When true, disables the date time selector in the workbench

multiplierDefaultDeltaStep number 2

The multiplierDefaultDeltaStep is used to set the default multiplier (see TimeVaryingTraits.multiplier trait) - it represents the average number of (real-time) seconds between (dataset) time steps. For example, a value of five would set the multiplier so that a new time step (of this dataset) would appear every five seconds (on average) if the timeline is playing. This trait will only take effect if multiplier is not explicitly set.

FeaturePickingTraits
allowFeaturePicking boolean true

Indicates whether features in this catalog item can be selected by clicking them on the map.

ImageryProviderTraits
leafletUpdateInterval number

Update a tile only once during this interval when the map is panned. Value should be specified in milliseconds.

tileErrorHandlingOptions TileErrorHandlingTraits

Options for handling tile errors

clipToRectangle boolean true

Gets or sets a value indicating whether this dataset should be clipped to the {@link CatalogItem#rectangle}. If true, no part of the dataset will be displayed outside the rectangle. This property is true by default, leading to better performance and avoiding tile request errors that might occur when requesting tiles outside the server-specified rectangle. However, it may also cause features to be cut off in some cases, such as if a server reports an extent that does not take into account that the representation of features sometimes require a larger spatial extent than the features themselves. For example, if a point feature on the edge of the extent is drawn as a circle with a radius of 5 pixels, half of that circle will be cut off.

minimumLevel number

The minimum level-of-detail supported by the imagery provider. Take care when specifying this that the number of tiles at the minimum level is small, such as four or less. A larger number is likely to result in rendering problems

maximumLevel number

The maximum level-of-detail supported by the imagery provider, or undefined if there is no limit

tileWidth number 256

Tile width in pixels. Default value is 256 pixels

tileHeight number 256

The maximum number of "feature infos" that can be displayed in feature info panel.

MinMaxLevelTraits
maxScaleDenominator number

The denominator of the smallest scale (largest denominator) for which tiles should be requested. For example, if this value is 10000, then tiles representing a scale smaller than 1:10000 (i.e. numerically larger denominator, when zooming out further) will not be requested. For large scales set hideLayerBeforeMaxScaleDenominator to true, otherwise you may experience performance issues (requesting too many tiles).

minScaleDenominator number

The denominator of the largest scale (smallest denominator) for which tiles should be requested. For example, if this value is 1000, then tiles representing a scale larger than 1:1000 (i.e. numerically smaller denominator, when zooming in closer) will not be requested. Instead, tiles of the largest-available scale, as specified by this property, will be used and will simply get blurier as the user zooms in closer.

hideLayerAfterMinScaleDenominator boolean

True to hide tiles when the Minimum Scale Denominator is exceeded. If false, we can zoom in arbitrarily close to the (increasingly blurry) layer.
