Linking maps to job types using the Workflow Manager Administrator

Available with Standard or Advanced license.

Maps that are used by your jobs can be associated with a job type in your Workflow Manager (Classic) repository through the Administrator application. If you are using multiuser data editing via versioning, you can choose to have only certain job map layers repointed by selecting them in the Layers to Repoint section.

Starting with Workflow Manager (Classic) 10.5.1, maps (.mapx) exported from ArcGIS Pro can be used as basemaps for job types and used with mapping steps in ArcGIS Pro 2.0 and later. The Configure Maps in ArcMap functionality is unavailable for these maps, and if used, a blank map will open. For more information, see Export and save ArcGIS Pro maps (.mapx) as Job Type base maps.

Starting with Workflow Manager (Classic) 10.6.1, maps stored in ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS can be used as Job's Base Map and LOI Base Map template map documents. The map can be an ArcGIS Pro map (.mapx), a layout (.pagx), or a web map. The Layers to Repoint functionality is unavailable for these maps. The Configure Maps in ArcMap functionality is also unavailable for these maps, and if used, a blank map will open. Even though the ArcGIS Pro layout (.pagx) can be set as LOI Base Map, it is not recommended.

1. Start Workflow Manager Administrator and connect to the Workflow Manager (Classic) database.
2. Choose the job type you want linked to your map using the Job Type folder.
   1. Right-click the job type and click Edit Item.
   2. Right-click the Job Type folder and click Add Job Type.

      The Job Type dialog box appears.

3. Click the Maps tab.

   

4. Choose a map to link with your job type from the drop-down list of maps.

   You can configure the Template Map document and the LOI Basemap for the job type. For both, you can choose from a list of maps in the Maps folder or use the Browse button next to each section to browse to an existing MXD.

5. If you're using multiuser data editing via versioning, choose the layers to repoint in the Job's Base Map section by expanding the Data Frames node under Layers to Repoint.

   The specified layers will be repointed to the job's data workspace and version when the map is opened, and the other layers will remain as they were authored in the Job's Base Map.

6. Click Apply and click OK to save these changes.
