Layer types supported with Maps Connector for ArcGIS

This article answers the question: which ArcGIS Online layer types can I use with the Salesforce Maps Connector for ArcGIS? Salesforce Maps supports a specific set of ArcGIS Online layer types when you connect an ArcGIS Online layer to a Salesforce Maps layer.

Supported Layer Types

• Map Image Layers
• Imagery Layers
• Tile Layers (Raster Only)
• Feature Layer (Hosted)
• Feature Layer (ArcGIS Server)
• Feature Collection (CSV)
• Feature Collection (Map Note)
• Feature Collection (Route Layer)
• KML / KMZ (Keyhole Markup Language, a file format used by ArcGIS to display geographic data)
• OGC Web Feature Service (WFS) – an Open Geospatial Consortium standard for sharing vector feature data
• OGC Web Map Service (WMS) – an Open Geospatial Consortium standard for sharing rendered map imagery

Why This Matters

If your ArcGIS Online layer type is not in the list above, Salesforce Maps cannot connect to it directly. For example, a sales rep who wants to overlay a custom ArcGIS Server feature layer showing customer territories on their Salesforce Maps view can do so, since Feature Layer (ArcGIS Server) is supported.
