Configuring map objects that move

To represent objects that move on maps, you can configure an ESRI map layer to refresh at regular interval.

What you should know

If you have an ESRI object that gets updated in real time, you can set the corresponding map layer to refresh at regular intervals, so that those updates are applied. For example, if you have an ESRI object that tracks a vehicle position in real time, you can set the map layer to refresh every 5 minutes to show the movement of this vehicle in Security Desk.

To configure a moving map object:

  1. In the Map designer menu, click Map > Layers .
    A dialog box listing all available layers for your map opens.
  2. Point to the layer you want to change and click the cogwheel ().

  3. In the widget that opens, select Auto refresh and then set the refresh rate.
  4. In the Map designer toolbar, click Save ().
