The Tygron Platform allows you to access geographical features through a WFS endpoint, making the data available to view and edit via other GIS application.

How to access the WFS of your project in ArcGIS Pro:
  1. Select the export option of the geo data source you wish to access.
  2. For the export option "Web Feature Service", select "Copy URL". This will store the URL on your clipboard.
  3. Open ArcGIS Pro.
  4. Add a WFS Connection.
  5. As URL for the server connection, paste the URL copied to the clipboard earlier.
  6. From the entered URL, add each parameter and its value (written as "parameter=value") to the custom parameters.
  7. Remove the parameter string (the question mark and beyond) from the entered URL.
  8. Connect.
  9. Open the "Servers" tab, to display the list of available layers.
  10. Select the desired layer and add it to your workspace.

Notes

  • The WFS is currently only available when a project is active in the editor.
  • The WFS url includes an authentication token which ties the validity of the url to a specific session. If the editing session is closed and reopened at a later time, the url will need to be renewed. See also these notes for more information.
