ArcGIS Services can be used in LocalMaps to create custom searches and query parameters as well as build reports and feature queries. To do this, a new Portal connection must be established. A Portal in this sense is either ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise or a standalone ArcGIS Server and the Services indexed are either ArcGIS Services, Tables or Locators.

If your organisation is using ahybrid model in which perhaps you are a hybrid model e.g using ArcGIS Online Webmaps containing that contain services coming from your ArcGIS Server, you can also register that standalone ArcGIS server in LocalMaps. 

1. To register your ArcGIS Server as a Datasource click Add Portal.

2. In the dialogue box, enter the following:

• Name: A name for your datasource. This is what will appear in the datasources table.
• URL: the URL to the REST endpoint of the ArcGIS Server that you wish to add.
• Provider Type: This is the type of datasource being used. Select ArcGIS Server. 
• Security: This is the Security method you wish to use to access data from an ArcGIS Server. If you only intend to use public services from your ArcGIS Server in LocalMaps, select None. You can then move to step 3. If you wish to use restricted services, select ArcGIS Server and then enter your administration Username and Password.

3. You can then test if the Service is valid by hitting the Test button. If the service is valid, a green tick will appear. If invalid, a red cross will appear and prevent the administrator from saving the service until corrected.

4. Click Save. The Datasource is then added to your main table.

Example of a standalone ArcGIS Server entry below.

Configure a service 

Once a new portal is added, administrators can select what ArcGIS services, tables or locators they would like to use in Local Maps. To add services, click the “Services” button for the datasource you have just added. A new table will appear as per below – you may need to scroll down.
