Setting Up Export GIS Data Actions

This topic describes how to configure a business rule action to export GIS data to your GIS system.

Your agency defines the mapping between transaction attributes and respective GIS attributes on the Esri side so that the agency can send transaction and inspection data to a map layer. The system supports transaction data export for Business Licenses, Code Enforcement, Permits, and Planning and Zoning, as well as inspections data export for Business Licenses and Permits.

Use the Transaction to GIS Attributes Mappings setup pages to map the GIS attributes that you want to get transaction data for by selecting the transaction attribute from all of the standard and global or reusable attributes exposed by the selected resource.

The transaction data is exported using the action described to export the data to GIS as set up in the Business Rules Framework, as described here.

Setting Up Prerequisites for the Export GIS Data Action

To export transaction GIS data, you'll need to have set up your feature service and configured the mapping of transaction attributes to GIS attributes to export transaction data to the GIS layer. For more information on attribute mapping, see Setting Up Transaction to GIS Attributes Mapping.
