Bermuda’s National Park system manages and preserves the island\u2019s natural resources. Recognizing the challenges involving internet and network connectivity on the island, such as unavailability, unreliability, or slowness, the department decided to temporarily adapt their editing workflows to a disconnected environment. This blog follows the national parks as they prepare for this transition by getting their data ready for offline use, testing the setup by making edits without being connected to the network, and synchronizing edits.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Prepare and publish a feature service<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The first step in the workflow is for the department\u2019s GIS specialist to prepare the enterprise geodatabase data for offline use<\/a>. The data preparation process varies based on data type and the type of offline editing workflows that the department needs.<\/p>\n

Because offline editing requires that you publish the data as a web feature layer (feature service), the GIS specialist must also take the department\u2019s requirements into consideration when publishing the service, because these requirements also impact the settings used when publishing the feature service.<\/p>\n
