Topographic Production Manager web app introduction

License:

Available with an ArcGIS Topographic Mapping license.

The Topographic Production Manager (TPM) web app helps teams manage map production with features that improve coordination, reduce manual tracking, and gives teams a clear view of production status. It helps make informed decisions and deliver maps on time.

App deployment essentials

This app is included with the ArcGIS Topographic Mapping server extension as part of the product data files. This app can be configured to connect to the Topographic Production server that has been enabled with one instance or multiple instances of the Topographic Production Service. In ArcGIS Pro, you can publish the service and configure its properties.

App interface

The TPM app includes two main components, Design and Manage.

The Design tab capabilities can be used to define project scopes including its phases, and set map extents. This helps ensure each project is clearly structured before work begins.

Learn more about preparing a project

In the Manage tab, you can create jobs, check the status of jobs, and search and filter active work. Each item includes attributes that help track progress and identify what needs attention.

Learn more about managing jobs

Together, the TPM web app enables task group and task creation, monitoring, and management. Once task group jobs are created in the app, the topographic production server REST endpoints run and manage the following processes:

  • Data capture

  • Cartographic production

These processes follow predefined workflows that are designed to automate the data handling and map production process. This reduces the amount of manual tasks because the automated results serve as a starting point for work.
