How to access your project's WFS in ArcGIS Pro
This article is a stub.
The Tygron Platform allows you to access geographical features through a WFS endpoint, making the data available to view and edit via other GIS application.
How to access the WFS of your project in ArcGIS Pro:
- Select the export option of the geo data source you wish to access.
- For the export option "Web Feature Service", select "Copy URL". This will store the URL on your clipboard.
- Open ArcGIS Pro.
- Add a WFS Connection.
- As URL for the server connection, paste the URL copied to the clipboard earlier.
- From the entered URL, add each parameter and its value (written as "parameter=value") to the custom parameters.
- Remove the parameter string (the question mark and beyond) from the entered URL.
- Connect.
- Open the "Servers" tab, to display the list of available layers.
- Select the desired layer and add it to your workspace.
Notes
- The WFS is currently only available when a project is active in the editor.
- The WFS url includes an authentication token which ties the validity of the url to a specific session. If the editing session is closed and reopened at a later time, the url will need to be renewed. See also these notes for more information.
