Setting Up Map Routing

Agencies can enable map routing on the Inspector Application for mobile devices. On the Inspection Tasks page for permits and licenses, inspectors can show routing and optimize the route on the map.

Your agency enables map routing in the Functional Setup Manager and defines the API credential for the map service.

For more information about using map routing on the Inspection Tasks page, see Working with Inspection Routing.

Enabling Map Routing

When you enable map routing, you select the default unit for displaying the route distance. You can select miles or kilometers.

1. Access this option through the Functional Setup Manager by selecting Setup and Maintenance > Offering: Permits or Business Licenses > Change Feature Opt In.

2. In the Permit Inspections row (for the Permits offering) or the Business License Inspections row (for the Business Licenses offering), select the pencil icon in the Features column.

3. In the Enable Map Routing and Select Unit of Distance row, select the pencil icon in the Enable column and select an option:

   • Enable map routing using miles to measure distances

   • Enable map routing using kilometers to measure distances

   • Disable map routing

4. Click Save and Close.

Setting Up the API Key

On the GIS Attribute Mapping page, set up the API key used for the route service in the Inspector Application. For more information about the GIS Attribute Mapping page, see Setting Up GIS Attribute Mapping.

The ArcGIS Online API Key is your authentication credential for accessing Esri's cloud-based services, including routing. This key is a long-lived access token created through your ArcGIS Online organization. You use it to authorize Oracle Permitting and Licensing requests for services like calculating routes. Every time the routing service is called, it will consume credits from the ArcGIS Online subscription associated with that API key. For more information about the third-party subscription service, see Esri documentation.
