Scales

[IMAGE: Scales management page showing scale presets with zoom levels, scale ratios, and active status]

Map scales define predefined zoom levels for consistent navigation and scale-dependent rendering.

Scale Presets

What are Map Scales? Map scales represent the relationship between map distance and real-world distance:

1:1,000 - Large scale, zoomed in (1 cm = 10 meters)
1:100,000 - Medium scale
1:10,000,000 - Small scale, zoomed out (1 cm = 100 km)

Common Scale Presets:

1:500         - Building detail
1:1,000       - Site plans
1:5,000       - Street level
1:10,000      - Neighborhood
1:50,000      - City
1:100,000     - Region
1:500,000     - State
1:1,000,000   - Country

Managing Scales

Add Scale:

Enter scale ratio (e.g., 1:5000)
Add description (e.g., "Street Level")
Set as active
Save

Reorder Scales: Drag and drop to control zoom order:

Top scales = zoomed in
Bottom scales = zoomed out
Order affects scale selector widget

Active Scales: Toggle which scales appear in scale dropdown:

Enable commonly used scales
Disable uncommon scales
Reduce clutter in UI

Scale-Dependent Rendering Use scales for layer visibility:

Show detailed layers only at large scales (zoomed in)
Hide complex layers at small scales (performance)
Display labels at appropriate scales

Example Configuration:

Building Footprints:
  Min Scale: 1:10,000 (only visible when zoomed in)
  Max Scale: 1:500

City Boundaries:
  Min Scale: 1:5,000,000
  Max Scale: 1:50,000 (only visible when zoomed out)

Best Practices

Data Management

Service Organization

✓ Use descriptive service names reflecting data source
✓ Document service authentication credentials securely
✓ Test service connections regularly (weekly/monthly)
✓ Monitor service uptime and performance
✗ Don't connect to untrusted or unauthenticated services without security review

Category Structure

✓ Keep hierarchy shallow (max 2 levels)
✓ Use user-friendly, non-technical names
✓ Group related data logically by theme or workflow
✓ Publish categories incrementally to test user reception
✗ Don't create overly granular categories (confuses users)
✗ Don't use abbreviations or acronyms without explanation

Layer Configuration

✓ Set appropriate scale ranges to optimize performance
✓ Use definition queries to filter large datasets
✓ Configure field aliases to make attributes user-friendly
✓ Hide technical fields (OBJECTID, Shape_Length, etc.)
✓ Test layer rendering at multiple zoom levels
✗ Don't enable all layers by default (overwhelms users)
✗ Don't publish layers without testing in map application first

User Administration

Role Assignment

✓ Follow principle of least privilege (minimum role needed)
✓ Review user roles quarterly
✓ Document why users have elevated permissions
✓ Use Viewer role for read-only users
✓ Reserve System Admin for infrastructure team only
✗ Don't grant Admin role casually
✗ Don't create shared accounts (1 user = 1 account)

Password Security

✓ Enforce strong password requirements (12+ characters)
✓ Enable account lockout after failed attempts
✓ Require password changes every 90 days (or enable 2FA instead)
✓ Implement 2FA for admins (mandatory)
✓ Monitor failed login attempts
✗ Don't allow password reuse (enforce password history)
✗ Don't use default passwords
✗ Don't share passwords via email or messaging

User Onboarding

✓ Send personalized welcome emails
✓ Provide quick-start guide or video tutorial
✓ Assign appropriate viewer profile on account creation
✓ Schedule follow-up check-in after 1 week
✓ Enable onboarding tour for new users
✗ Don't create accounts without notifying user
✗ Don't grant access without proper authorization

Security and Compliance

Audit Logging

✓ Review audit logs weekly (minimum)
✓ Set up automated alerts for critical events
✓ Export audit data monthly for archival
✓ Monitor failed authentication attempts
✓ Track permission changes and data modifications
✗ Don't ignore audit log warnings
✗ Don't delete audit records prematurely

Backup Strategy

✓ Perform daily automated backups
✓ Test backup restoration quarterly
✓ Store backups in separate physical location
✓ Encrypt backup files
✓ Document backup and restore procedures
✗ Don't rely on a single backup
✗ Don't store backups in same location as primary database

Access Control

✓ Use role-based access control (RBAC)
✓ Review user access permissions quarterly
✓ Deactivate accounts promptly when users leave
✓ Implement IP whitelisting for admin access (optional)
✓ Use multi-factor authentication for privileged accounts
✗ Don't allow anonymous access to admin console
✗ Don't share admin credentials

Performance Optimization

Layer Management

✓ Use scale-dependent visibility for detailed layers
✓ Apply definition queries to reduce data transfer
✓ Enable caching for static layers
✓ Simplify geometry for display (preserve original for analysis)
✓ Use tiled services for basemaps
✗ Don't load all layers simultaneously
✗ Don't display high-resolution imagery at small scales

Service Configuration

✓ Enable GZIP compression on service endpoints
✓ Configure appropriate timeout values
✓ Use CDN for tile services (if available)
✓ Monitor service response times
✓ Implement caching strategies
✗ Don't make synchronous requests for large datasets
✗ Don't bypass service metadata caching

Database Maintenance

✓ Run VACUUM and ANALYZE regularly (PostgreSQL)
✓ Monitor database size and growth
✓ Archive old audit log records
✓ Rebuild spatial indexes periodically
✓ Monitor slow query logs
✗ Don't ignore database performance warnings
✗ Don't run analytics queries on production database during peak hours

Tips and Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Service Connection Failures

Problem: "Connection timeout" when adding data source

Solutions:

Verify service URL is correct and accessible:

Test in browser: https://services.example.com/arcgis/rest/services/
Should return JSON or HTML service directory

Check firewall rules allow outbound HTTPS on port 443
Verify SSL certificate is valid (not expired or self-signed)
Test from different network (mobile hotspot) to rule out local network issues
Contact service provider to confirm endpoint is online

Layer Not Displaying in Map Application

Problem: Published layer doesn't appear in map application category tree

Checklist:

[ ] Is the layer published? (Status = Published in Layers page)
[ ] Is the layer assigned to a category?
[ ] Is the category published? (Status = Published in Categories page)
[ ] Does the viewer profile include this layer? (Check Viewers page)
[ ] Is the layer within scale range? (Zoom to appropriate level)
[ ] Is the layer visible by default? (Check layer configuration)
[ ] Clear browser cache and refresh map application

Debug Steps:

Navigate to Layers page
Search for missing layer
Verify Published toggle is ON
Check Category assignment
Navigate to Categories page
Find category and verify Published toggle is ON
Navigate to Viewers page
Open viewer configuration
Verify layer is in assigned layers list
Open map application and test

Problem: User reports "Invalid credentials" despite correct password

Solutions:

Account Locked:

Navigate to Users page
Search for user
Check Status column
If "Locked", click user row → Unlock Account
Optionally reset password
Notify user

Account Deactivated:

Check Active status
If inactive, click Activate
Confirm activation
User can now login

Wrong Password:

Click user row → Reset Password
Generate temporary password
Send to user via email
Instruct user to change on first login

Browser Issues:

Clear browser cache and cookies
Try incognito/private browsing mode
Test different browser
Disable browser extensions

Session Cookie Issues:

Ensure browser allows third-party cookies
Check browser cookie settings
Add console domain to allowed list
Test without VPN (if applicable)

Slow Dashboard Loading

Problem: Admin dashboard takes 30+ seconds to load

Causes and Solutions:

Too Many Services:

Limit concurrent service health checks
Navigate to Settings > Performance
Reduce Service Check Interval to 5 minutes (instead of real-time)

Large Audit Log Table:

Archive old audit records
Navigate to Audit Logs
Export logs older than 90 days
Delete archived records to reduce table size

Network Latency:

Check server response time (browser DevTools → Network tab)
If API response > 2 seconds, investigate server resources
Monitor PostgreSQL slow query log
Consider database indexing optimization

Browser Performance:

Clear browser cache
Disable unnecessary browser extensions
Update to latest browser version
Reduce open tabs

Export Fails for Large Datasets

Problem: "Request timeout" when exporting 50,000+ features

Solutions:

Increase Timeout:

Navigate to Settings > Advanced
Increase Export Timeout to 300 seconds (5 minutes)
Save changes

Use Definition Query:

Navigate to Layers
Edit layer configuration
Apply Definition Query to reduce feature count
Example: STATUS = 'Active' AND UPDATED > '2024-01-01'
Attempt export again

Export in Batches:

Use spatial extent to export regions separately
Or use attribute filter: ID BETWEEN 1 AND 10000
Combine exports after download

Alternative Format:

Try different export format
GeoJSON may be faster than Shapefile
CSV (attributes only) fastest for large datasets

Performance Tips

Optimize Category Structure

Limit categories to 20 major categories maximum
Each major category should have 3-7 minor categories
More than 10 minor categories = consider reorganization

Layer Display Order

Important layers at top of category (users see first)
Rarely used layers at bottom
Use alphabetical order within category for consistency

Search Configuration

Limit search sources to 5 maximum
Order by relevance (local database first, external geocoding last)
Set minimum character threshold (3+ characters) to reduce queries

Viewer Profiles

Create task-specific viewers (not "one size fits all")
Limit layers per viewer to 50 maximum (performance)
Use default visibility strategically (only 5-10 layers visible on load)

Image Thumbnails

Generate thumbnails at 200x150px maximum
Use compressed JPEG (not PNG for photos)
Limit thumbnail file size to 50KB
