Templates for Facilities

Two templates are available on ArcGIS Online for facility managers. The templates provide a way to integrate facilities data into one standard format, apply cartographic rules to the data so it is easy to view and understand, and make the data easily accessible to others in their organizations.

The Campus Basemap Template is designed to help organizations publish high-quality basemaps using their own authoritative content. The template provides a consistent geographic context so organizations and agencies can share data and provide applications and services to their users.  The template supplies important reference information such as buildings, parking areas, sidewalks, and fences.

The Campus Editing Template provides an editing environment, including a toolbar and workflows for managing building, interior space, and related exterior campus data. Staff at a school campus, government agency, military installation, or private business can use this data editor to streamline the collection, maintenance, and use of asset information.

The Campus Place Finder template is a configuration of ArcGIS Server and a JavaScript application that allows employees, students and visitors to locate people and places on a campus or in a single building. This application is typically used by employees or university students to locate an office or conference room in a building, but can also be used by visitors to locate an individual employee they are visiting.

Both templates along with a Facilities Group with maps, applications, and best practices created by Esri can be found on ArcGIS Online. This cloud-based system can be used by anyone to create, view, and use intelligent maps as well as upload and style geographic data.  Maps can be created for sharing on the Internet, on any mobile device including smartphones, and embedded into web-based applications.
