Add custom parameters to a scene

When you add custom parameters to a scene, they are appended to all URL requests sent to the server and modify how the data is requested. This can be used to filter the returned data or to provide authentication credentials for secured services.

In Layer properties , for layers that have custom parameters available, you can configure those parameters.

To add a custom parameter to a scene, complete the following steps:

1. In the layer properties pane, under Custom parameters, click Configure custom parameters to open the Custom request parameters pane.
2. Click Add parameter.
3. Provide the name of the parameter you want to append in the Parameter text box.
4. Provide the parameter value in the Value text box.
5. Repeat these steps for each parameter you want to append.
6. Click Done to apply the changes and return to the layer properties pane.

   The specified custom parameters are automatically applied to all requests made to the service.

7. Click Done again to return to the Layer Manager pane.

For example, if your service supports filtering by attributes, you can add a custom parameter with "where" as the parameter name and your filter expression as the values, such as STATE_NAME='California'. This results with requests to the service to now include "where=STATE_NAME='California'" in the URL.

Note:

Custom parameters only work if they are supported by the underlying service. Verify the parameters available in your service documentation.
