Setting Up GIS Feature Services

You add URLs to editable feature or map services on the GIS Services setup page. The GIS services setup allows editing using REST APIs.

An editable feature service is required for Oracle Permitting and Licensing to write on Esri maps. You set up GIS feature services to reference before you set up GIS mapping.

You need an editable feature service to display transaction data exported to the map when the feature service is associated with the transaction to GIS attributes mapping definition. For more information, see Setting Up Transaction to GIS Attributes Mapping and Setting Up Export GIS Data Actions.

  1. Access setup through the Functional Setup Manager by selecting Setup and Maintenance > Setup: Public Sector <Offering> > GIS > Manage GIS Feature Service.

  2. On the GIS Services setup page, click the + Add button.
