Use the Analysis Layers option in ArcGIS Excalibur to determine the web services that are available to you in your content and your organization's content that you can use in the application. The Analysis Layers view displays information about each available web service and can be connected directly to the Search and Discover page or canvas.
Filter by layer title
The Analysis Layers page can be filtered by the layer title.
- Enter the name of a layer in the input text box.
As text is entered, the layer cards are dynamically filtered.
- Delete the text to clear the text box.
Sort by field
The web services can be sorted in ascending or descending order by fields such as date created, date modified, owner, or title to help identify layers.
- Choose a field from the Sort menu.
Options are Date Created, Date Modified, Owner, and Title. Date Modified is the default field.
The Analysis Layers list is dynamically sorted based on the chosen field.
- Click the Reverse List button in the Sort menu to switch between ascending and descending order.
Descending order is the default sort direction.
Filter by layer type
The Analysis Layers page can be filtered by layer type.
- Click the Filter button and select the specific layer types you want to view.
As filters are applied, the layer list populates with layer types that are selected in the filter.
- Click the same layer type again in the filter drop-down to remove it or click Clear All to remove all filters.
Change the layout view
The web services layout can be changed between two layouts: a list layout and a grid layout. Both layouts allow you to see information about the layer and connect directly to Search and Discover or to the canvas. The grid layout is the default view of the Analysis Layers page.
Refresh list
Click the Refresh List button to reload the Analysis Layers page. This displays the services that are available to you from your content or your organization's content.
Layer information
Each layer card displays the following information in the Analysis Layers list item details:
- Name
- Layer type
- Owner
- Date modified
When information on a layer's item details page is edited, the changes are reflected on the layer card the next time the list is refreshed.
Search and Discover
When you click Search on any ArcGIS Imagery Layer or ArcGIS Video Layer, the Search and Discover page appears, where you can search for, discover, and queue images or videos for further use. The search map will be zoomed to the extent of the service where you can define filters such as the area you want to search.
View in the canvas
When you click View, the canvas opens where you can focus on and work with specific images or videos using the display, comparison, and analysis tools. When clicking View on an image service, the Map Panel in the canvas will be zoomed to the extent of the web service and will display footprints, and the Image Metadata Table will be populated with corresponding images. When clicking View on a video service, the Map Panel in the canvas will be zoomed to the extent of the video and the Focus Panel will have the video loaded and ready to play.
Additional layer information
For more information about a specific layer, click a layer in the Analysis Layers list to bring up the Layer Information panel. This will open displaying the additional details for this layer. You can view your layer in the canvas by clicking View. You can also click the drop-down arrow and click More Details to view more information about this layer.
Note:
If the service is a non-query-enabled service, you cannot search against that service in Search and Discover.
