How to access your project's WFS in ArcGIS Pro
Revision as of 10:44, 21 December 2023 by Bobby@tygron.nl (talk | contribs)
The Tygron Platform allows you to access data through a WFS endpoint, making the data available to view and edit via other GIS applications such as ArcGIS Pro.
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 without the token part (the question mark and beyond)
- Add the token parameter and its value to the custom parameters and click ok.
- Open the "Servers" tab, to display the list of available layers and add the desired layer to your map.
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.
