GIS professionals can access Intterra-hosted layers using ArcGIS Pro, allowing access to powerful ESRI tools for editing and providing access to domain values and attachments.
What Are Intterra-Hosted Layers?
Intterra-hosted layers are map layers stored on Intterra's servers. These layers often contain specialized data for emergency management, wildfire response, or other public safety applications.
Before You Start
Make sure you have:
- ArcGIS Pro installed on your computer
- Your Intterra credentials (username and password)
- The specific path or URL for the Intterra-hosted layer you want to access
Steps to Access Intterra-Hosted Layers
- Open ArcGIS Pro
- Start ArcGIS Pro and open your project
- Add Data
- Click on the "Insert" tab in the top ribbon
- Select "Connections" and hover over “Server" and click “New ArcGIS Server” from the drop-down
- Set Up the Server Connection
- For the server URL, enter the Intterra server address (get this from your Intterra contact if you don't have it)
- Enter Your Credentials
- For Authentication, Enter your Intterra username and password
- Optionally, save the login to the Windows Credential Manager or the Connection file
- Click "OK"
- Access the Layer
- In the Catalog pane, expand the new server connection you just created in the Servers tab
- Navigate to the specific layer you want to add from the specific folder the data you are looking for is in
- Drag the layer into your map or right-click and choose "Add to Current Map"
Tips
- Save your project after adding the Intterra layer to keep the connection for future use
- If you can't connect, double-check your credentials and the server URL
- Some layers may take a moment to load, especially if they contain a lot of data
