• Mark location points and boundaries on the map
• View the marked location points on the map at project and Enterprise level

In the GIS Settings page, you can perform the following tasks:

• Enabling GIS in Mobile
• Adding Base Maps
• Adding Layers
• Adding Layer Aliases
• Configuring Default Map Location
• Configuring Service Authentication Settings
• Configuring Geometry Service Settings
• Defining Offline Extent
• Adding Offline Base Maps
• Configuring the ESRI Save Settings

Steps

1. In the module menu, click Administration.
   The Administration page is displayed.
2. In the navigation pane, expand System Configurations.
3. Expand GIS, and then click GIS Settings.

1. In the DEFAULT MAP LOCATION section, for the Default Map Type, select either of the following option:

• Zoom Level – To enter the values of X & Y coordinates and zoom level to define the default view of the map
• Extent – To enter the Start X & Y coordinates values and End X & Y coordinates values to define the default view of the map

Configuring Service Authentication Details

Steps

1. In the SERVICE AUTHENTICATION SETTINGS section, provide the following details required for Service Authentication:
   

• Client Login Service – Enter the URL that is used to authenticate the application integration with ESRI

Configuring Geometry Service Settings

In the GEOMETRY SERVICE SETTINGS section, you can enter the geometry service URL defined in ESRI to support the spatial reference other than the default spatial reference/WKID.

Steps

1. In the Geometry Service URL box, enter the geometry service URL.

Defining Offline Extent

Offline Extent is defined to set an image boundary of the offline Base Map when displayed in the Masterworks mobile application.

Steps

1. In the OFFLINE EXTENT section, to set the default location extent in the offline maps, perform the following steps:

• Enter the Start X Coordinate and End X Coordinate.  
• Enter the Start Y Coordinate and End Y Coordinate.

Note: It is recommended to set the Offline Extent coordinates same as the Default Map Location.

Adding Offline Base Maps

Steps
