Tagis Web Map

Connect and Configure AR Geotags

Tagis Web Map Configuration Tool

Tagis Web Map projects offer a configuration tool that connects existing ArcGIS web maps to the Tagisphere, enabling a web map to serve as the data source for real-world AR geotags.

Connect a Web Map to the Tagisphere

ArcGIS users can connect any public Web Map to the Tagisphere. The Tagisphere AR Portal tools display all public Web Maps available in your account. You then select the map of interest and create a configuration of features you wish to transform into geolocated geotags in the real world
Your data remains in your Web Map data storage and is not duplicated elsewhere. When field users launch the Tagis Mobile app and request local data from a Web Map project, the portal backend uses your configuration to extract tags in real-time for the user. This keeps your map connection dynamic, always displaying the latest published data.

Configure a Connection to a Web Map:

Configure web map Connection

Feature Details:

CONNECTION to SOURCE: ESRI Account

Configuration begins with entering an ESRI account username; no password is required.

CONNECTION to SOURCE: Public Web Map

Once a valid ESRI username is provided, the configurator locates all Public Web Maps in the account. The user is presented with a list of available Web Maps and their feature layers. The user can select the desired feature layer to map into geotags.

CONNECT to SOURCE: Define/Manage/Edit

After selecting a feature layer, the system extracts its properties and provides an interface to map data fields into the schema needed for a geotag. .

Label: A required value that is used to name the tag in the mobile app.
Latitude / Longitude: No user intervention/mapping required. Lat/Long is automatically extracted from the map location of each feature.
Link: An optional Hyperlink value for the tag.
Category: An optional value to help organize the tag. Categories are created/supported as part of the project.
Subcategory: Same as category.

TAGS: Data Storage Method

Tags derived from a configured Web Map are not stored in the Tagisphere. When Tagis Mobile field users request nearby tags from a Web Map connected project, the nearby tags are extracted in real-time from the ArcGIS Web Map data storage and streamed to the users session. This creates a dynamic connection to data in Web Maps, allowing the Tagisphere system to deliver up-to-date feature data.

TAGS: Qty. of Tags

The Tagisphere AR Portal can accommodate a high volume of tags; however, it is recommended to limit each project to fewer than 100,000 tags for optimal performance. Depending on the subscription level, there may be restrictions on the total number of tags available within a project.

Your subscription level such as a Free subscription will only support 50 and one project, whereas a basic subscription will support 100 tag for its single project.
For subscriptions supporting tens of thousands of tags, it is advisable to limit each project to 100,000 tags. To manage larger quantities, consider overlaying multiple projects within the same spatial area.
