Setting Up GIS Feature Services

You add URLs to editable feature services on the feature service setup page. The feature service allows editing using REST APIs.

The feature service is used to draw the location of a reference entity on the map when the feature service is associated with the reference entity type.

Note:

The reference entity feature is for internal testing and demonstration. Reference entities are planned for support in a future release.

An editable feature service is needed for Oracle Permitting and Licensing to write on ESRI maps, such as to draw a reference entity location. You set up GIS feature services to reference before you set up GIS mapping.

Here's how to add GIS feature services:

1. In the Navigator, select Reference Entity Setup > Feature Services.

2. On the Reference Entity Feature Services setup page, click the Add (+) button.

3. On the New feature service drawer, enter this information:

   Page Element	Description
   ID	Enter an identifier or ID for the reference service.
   Name and Description	Enter the short name and description of the reference service.
   URL	Enter the unique server URL (uniform resource locator) to an editable feature service.

4. Click Save.

You can also manage the feature services like this:

• Click the feature service row in the table to open the Feature service details drawer. You can save changes or delete the feature service.

  Note:

  If the feature service is already associated with a reference entity type, updating or removing the feature service will affect the associated map.

• Enter key words in the Search field to find matching feature services.

• Click the Export button to download a list of feature services on the page.

For information about associating a feature service with a reference entity type and setting up GIS mapping on the intake form design, see Setting Up Reference Entity Types.
