Description
The Get Layer activity gets a Layer from the currently selected map.
Inputs
Layer Id |
Required The ID of the layer of interest. If the workflow will run in VertiGIS Studio Web, VertiGIS Studio Mobile, or Web AppBuilder, you can either set Layer Id to the ID from the layer object or to the layer name from the web map. To run the workflow in the Geocortex Viewer for HTML5, set Layer Id to the map service ID if the service only has one layer. If the service has more than one layer, also set Sublayer Id to the layer ID. Get the map service ID and layer ID from Geocortex Essentials Manager or from the Geocortex Essentials Sites Directory. In VertiGIS Studio Mobile, the Get Layer activity only accepts string values for the Layer Id input. |
Sublayer Id |
Optional The ID of the sublayer of interest. In VertiGIS Studio Mobile, the Get Layer activity only accepts string values for the Sublayer Id input. |
