Connect to Portal

OmniSpatial can load, view, and save content from ArcGIS Portal. If you would like to consume secured content from Portal within Omni, then Omni must be configured to authenticate with your ArcGIS Portal instance. The following guide will walk you through the process of connecting your ArcGIS Portal environment to OmniSpatial.

NOTE: The same steps can be followed to authenticate data from ArcGIS Online.

Create ArcGIS Portal Application​

  1. Go to the Content page in your ArcGIS Portal instance.

  2. Click the New Item button.
