Web layers that can be shared from ArcGIS Pro.




There are seven web layers types that can be shared from ArcGIS Pro: Feature, Tile, Vector Tile, Map image, imagery, scene, and elevation.

Feature, tile ,vector tile, map image and imagery layers share 2D data, while scene and elevation layer share 3D data.

When you share a web layer, a service is published and exposed through the web layer. Depending on the layer type and how it is configured, an ArcGIS Server service or a hosted service is published.

Required Privileges.

To share any content from ArcGIS Pro, you must have an account that is part of ArcGIS organization that has privileges to create, update and delete content. The sharing of web layers require additional privileges that vary depending on the layer type and how it's configured.If an ArcGIS Server service will be published, the privilege to publish a server-based is required.

Determine the layer type to share.

A number of factors should be considered when determining the layer type to share, including how the layer will be used and whether your source data is accessible to the server.

When selecting the layer type, consider the following:


  1. If the layer will be used for editing workflow, select feature layer.
  2. If the data changes regularly and will not be used for editing workflows select map image layer.
  3. If the data is static vector data and will only be used for visualization, select vector tile layer
  4. If the data is static raster data and will only be used for visualization, select tile layer.
  5. If you will be changing the visualization of your raster datasets dynamically on the client share an imagery layer.
  6. If you need open source formats. select map image layer and include an associated WMS layer.


Feature Layer:

Description:
Support feature querying, visualization, and editing. Feature layers are appropriate for visualizing vector data on top of your basemaps.

Service: A feature layer exposes feature service. When sharing a feature layer that copies all data to ArcGIS Enterprise, the service will always be published to your hosting server. When sharing a feature layer that references registered data to ArcGIS Enterprize, it's shared as a dependent layer to map image layer.

Tile Layer:

Description:
Support fast map visualization using a collection of predrwan map images or tiles. These tiles are created and stored on the server after you upload your data. Web tile layers are appropriate for basemap.

Service: A tile layer exposes a hosted cached map service. When sharing a tile layer to ArcGIS Enterprise, the service will always be published to your hosting server.

Vector tile Layer:

Description
:Support fast map visualization using a collection of predrwan vector tiles. Although these tiles do not support raster data, they can adopt to the resolution of their display device and restyled for multiple uses.

Service: A vector tile layer expose a vector tile services. When sharing a vector tile layer to ArcGIS Enterprise, the service will always be published to your hosting server.

Map image Layer:

Description:
Support map visualization and feature querying. Map image layers can be drawn dynamically by the server or from tiles. Map image layers can only be shared to ArcGIS Enterprise.

Service: A map image layer exposes a dynamic or cached map service.When sharing a map image layer, the service can be published to any server that has been federated with the portal to which you have access.

Scene Layer:

Description:
Support querying and visualization of point, 3D object, building and point cloud data.

Service: A scene layer exposes a cached scene service. When sharing a scene layer to ArcGIS Enterprise, the scene service will always be published to your hosting server.

Imagery Layer:

Description:
Support visualization, metadata, mensuration, and image processing to display data as a basemap or the result of analysis.

Service: An imagery layer exposes a dynamic or cached image service.

Elevation layer:

Description:
Support visualization, metadata, mensuration and image processing of elevation data sources in the ground surface of a scene.

Service: An elevation layer exposes a cached image service that uses LERC compression tiling scheme.When sharing an elevation layer to ArcGIS Enterprise that is cached locally, the service will always be published to your hosting server. When cached on the server, the service can be published to any server federated with ArcGIS Enterprise.

Stand Alone Table:

Description:
Support viewing, filtering, and editing of table attributes.

Service: A stand-alone table exposes a feature service.
