Description

View

Views are windows for working with MapsScenesTablesLayoutsDiagramsReports and other representations of data. A project can have many views that can be opened and closed as needed. Several views can be opened at the same time, but only one of them is active. The active view affects which tabs are displayed on the ribbon and which items are displayed in panes, e.g. in the Contents pane.

Asset

resources/operating facilities in a Utility Network

Attribute data

Attribute data, or Properties of objects represented in a geographical information system (GIS). Attribute data are data without a specific spatial reference such as, for example, in the case of land owned by the owners or, in the case of woodland, the tree species.

Pane

A pane is a dockable window in which the contents of a view (Contents pane), the content of a project or portal (Catalog pane) or commands and settings related to a functionality area (for example, the panes Symbology and Geoprocessing) are displayed.

Data source

For Solution Manager an information-enriched feature service based on ArcGIS Server is required as the data basis.

Deployment

Deployment of a VertiGIS Web App with all necessary content.

Chart

A graphical representation of data, facts or information.

Dirty Areas

Areas with untested geometry of network features and attributes or areas where errors are displayed. See Validate topology

Domain Package

VertiGIS configuration package, which provides the functional configuration - such as data models, symbolism, attributes, etc. - of the respective domain (gas, water, electricity, telecommunication etc.) for a VertiGIS Solution Package.

Properties

See Attribute data

Feature Layer

A feature layer is a grouping of similar geographic features, for example, buildings, parcels, cities, roads, and earthquake epicenters. Features can be points, lines, or polygons (areas). Feature layers are most appropriate for visualizing data on top of basemaps.

Legacy

The Legacy section displays deployments created with an older version of VertiGIS Solution Manager.

Network Diagram

A schematic representation of objects (e.g. pipelines of gas, water, electricity) derived from a georeferenced map.

Portal item

A portal item is an item that can be accessed through the active portal and is available in the Catalog section or in the Catalog view.

Portal for ArcGIS

Portal for ArcGIS is a component of ArcGIS Enterprise that allows you to share maps, scenes, apps, and other geographic information with other people in your organization. The content that you share is delivered through a website.

Technical data

See Attribute data

Solution

Tailored GIS solution based on customer needs

Solution Package

VertiGIS software package that provides an extension to Esri's existing ArcGIS platform with application-specific functionality and intuitive, real-world workflows for various domains (e.g. gas, water, electricity, telecommunications, etc.).

Style

Styles are collections of reusable elements such as symbols and other objects that appear on maps, scenes, and layouts.

Symbols

Symbols are used to graphically describe, categorize, or evaluate geographic features and labels to search for them and display qualitative and quantitative relationships. They represent graphic elements in a layout. You can create symbols in collections that are known as Styles are designated, stored, managed and shared.

Template

Template, e.g. for capturing objects or for printing.

Web map (ArcGIS)

A web map is a 2D map that can be created, edited and used in various applications.
