Create an Excalibur with a definition file

An advanced option allows you to create an Excalibur project by uploading an Excalibur project definition file through a single step. All projects have a set of instructions along with a single focus layer that includes any supported service, including a subset of images from a service if an imagery service is used. Excalibur projects can also include web maps with contextual layers, observation layers, and GeoEnrichment definitions configured with specific observation layers. A properly formatted .json file must be provided to successfully create an Excalibur project. To view examples of Excalibur projects, see Excalibur scripts.
