GIS configuration

Infor Operations and Regulations Mobile includes GIS functionality, allowing users to work with maps in the mobile app.

Users can look up their work records on the map and, depending on your configuration, they can also view different map layers and create work records from the map. Infor Operations and Regulations Mobile can also be configured to download map data to the local device so that users can continue to work with maps when they go offline.

Note: Only ESRI providers are supported when the user of the mobile app is working offline.

Most of the GIS settings for the mobile app are stored in the GIS configuration for the Rest Services. In the Configuration Editor, select Rest Services in the Product list, then select GIS in the Configurations tree.

Note: See "Rest Services" in the Infor Operations and Regulations Installation and Technical Reference Library for documentation of the GIS configuration.

The GIS configuration defines a set of maplets, which are the basic units of GIS functionality. Each maplet defines the appearance and behavior of a map or part of a map.

A maplet can inherit from one or more other maplets. If you look at the children of the MAPLETS node, you will see a group of maplets whose ids begin with "mobile," such as "mobile-base," "mobile-search," and "mobile-home." Most of the Mobile maplets inherit from mobile-base, so you can make changes to most of the maps by editing mobile-base.

Many GIS settings are stored in OPTIONS nodes in the GIS configuration. In the configuration, maplets, commands, controls, events, maps, features, and layers can all have options. Each option consists of an ID and a value. You will add and edit options as you configure the map for the mobile app.
