|
Tool |
It is a functionality with its GUI (also the icon used in a toolbar). |
Widget |

|
Functionality |
It's a specific permissions offered by the platform. |
|
|
|
Service |
A service makes geographic information accessible over the map, and it can be composed by more layers. |
|
|
|
Layer |
It is a component of a service (a visible slice over the map). |
|
|
|
Zone Code |
Usually a Service can filter data by zone code (i.e. istat code), according to users' permissions. |
|
|
|
Map |
A Map is the core element that visually represents geographic information and accompanied by a set of functions applicable to the data present on the map. It is composed by a Basemap and Services. |
|
|
|
Basemap |
A basemap is the first layer that provides geographic context for your map. |
|
|
|
Module |
Modules are like building blocks that extend the platform's functionality for specific tasks or workflows. Each module adds a specialized set of tools and features. |
|
|
|
Project |
It is a container for a Map core element, so that it can be saved, retrieved, and shared. |

|
MapImageLayer |
A map image layer is a type of web layer that displays a pre-rendered image of geospatial data. It's essentially a composite image created by combining various geographic features and elements onto a single visual representation. |
|
|
|
SceneLayer |
A scene layer is a specialized type of layer designed for displaying 3D geospatial data. It allows you to visualize and interact with geographic features in a three-dimensional environment. |
|
|
|
BuildingSceneLayer |
A BuildingSceneLayer is a specialized type of scene layer specifically designed for displaying detailed 3D representations of buildings with detailed interiors in a SceneView |
|
|
|
WMSLayer |
The WMSLayer is used to create layers based on OGC Web Map Services (WMS). It essentially acts as a bridge, allowing you to visualize and interact with map data hosted on a separate server. |
|
|
|
WFSLayer |
The WFSLayer is used to create a layer based on an OGC Web Feature Service (WFS). It complements WMSLayers (Web Map Service Layers) by offering a more advanced level of interaction with features on a remote server. |
|
|
|
ImageryLayer |
An ImageryLayer is used to show imagery (often satellite or aerial photographs) over a specific area. |
|
|
|
TileLayer |
A TileLayer works by retrieving and assembling pre-rendered image tiles to create a seamless map view on your screen. |
|
|
|
VectorTileLayer |
Similar to TileLayers, VectorTileLayers rely on pre-rendered tiles, but instead of images, these tiles contain vector data representing geographic features (points, lines, and polygons). |
|
|
|
OpenStreetMapLayer |
OpenStreetMapLayer (OSM Layer) allows you to leverage data from OpenStreetMap (OSM) - a collaborative project for creating and maintaining a free, worldwide map of the world. |
|
|
|
WMTSLayer |
WMTSLayer, or Web Map Tile Service Layer, is a method for integrating pre-rendered geospatial data. It is used to create layers based on OGC Web Map Tile Services. |
|
|
|
WebTileLayer |
WebTileLayer provides a simple way to add non-ArcGIS Server map tiles as a layer to a map. It essentially refers to the same concept of “TileLayer”. |
|
|
|
BingMapsLayer |
BingMapsLayer is a specific type of TileLayer platforms that leverages Bing Maps, a web mapping service developed by Microsoft. |
|
|
|
HereMapsLayer |
HereMapsLayer allows you to visualize map data from HERE Maps. |
