Publish services

Elections data can be accessed on a smartphone, tablet and desktop computer with the Election Results Viewer application. Select a deployment method using ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS for Server and follow the steps below to publish the services required for the Election Results Viewer application.

To implement Election Results Viewer, complete the following steps:

  1. Publish ReferenceOverlay.mxd as cached map services using ArcGIS for Server or as tiled services using ArcGIS Online. When publishing, make the following changes in the Service Editor:
    • Choose the Best Level for the Anti-Aliasing parameter in the Parameters screen.
    • Choose Force for the Text Anti-Aliasing parameter in the Parameters screen.
    • Disable KML in the Capabilities screen if publishing the service using ArcGIS for Server.
    • Import the MIXED90CacheSettings.xml cache tiling scheme from the Application folder and extend the Levels of Detail slider across all levels of detail.
  2. Publish the ElectionResults.mxd as a hosted feature service using ArcGIS Online or as a map service using ArcGIS for Server.
  3. Choose a geometry service. If you are using ArcGIS for Server and the geometry service has not been started, start the geometry service. If you are using ArcGIS Online, you can use the geometry service provided by Esri or a geometry service from another ArcGIS for Server machine.
  4. Open the ArcGIS Services Directory and record the REST endpoints (full URL paths) of each service.
