Configure map products

Available with Defense Mapping license.

The Map Production System web app can export various types of map products. Each map product has settings that can be configured.

  1. Access the MPS web app's settings.
  2. In the Product Settings section, click the Product name text box and choose a product from the list.
    Tip:

    You can also provide a search term in the Product name text box to filter the list.

  3. Click Add Add to add the map product as an available output in the app.

    The map product that was added is listed in the Product Settings section and needs to be configured.

  4. Click the map product's drop-down arrow.
  5. Click the Area of Interest Layer text box and choose an area of interest (AOI).
    Tip:

    You can provide a search term in the Area of Interest Layers text box to filter the list.

  6. Click the Basemap text box and choose a basemap.

    If the Use portal-configured basemaps check box is checked in the General Settings section, the basemaps configured in the associated portal appear in the list.

    Tip:

    You can provide a search term in the Basemap list to filter the items in the list.

  7. In the Extent section, provide the map's center coordinates.
  8. Provide a numerical string value in the Scale text box.

    This value specifies the zoom level of the app's map. For example, a value of 0 would open the map at its full extent, and a value of 5 would open the map at an extent equivalent to zooming in five times when using the zoom controls on the map.

  9. Click the Map Layers drop-down arrow and check the check boxes for the AOI grid layers that you want to be visible for the map product.

    Checked layers are removed when you switch to the Export tab and their display order on the Map tab corresponds to their order in the map that was shared from ArcGIS Pro when the topographic service was published.

    Tip:

    If AOI layers that aren't supposed to be visible in the app appear on the app's map, review the web map in your ArcGIS organization's portal to ensure that the layers are not checked and that the web map is checked. The web map settings in your organization's portal override the MPS app settings.

  10. Click the Product Versions drop-down arrow to review a list of the map products available.
  11. Click a map product's drop-down arrow to review the configuration for its Export Formats and Parameter Overrides.
    Map products in the Product Versions node with MTM_100K map product expanded to show Export Formats and Parameter Overrides nodes

    Export Formats and Parameter Overrides appear.
