The way from ArcGIS to the internet
Step 1:
After the successful installation you load or create your map in ArcGIS as
usual. Now you start the “HTML ImageMapper NG” extension by clicking the yellow
hand (A). If you can’t find the hand, follow the instructions in chapter Fehler!

in ArcMap”.
HINT: You can click the “Start" button to create an ImageMapper project anytime, this means even at once. After a short holding time the result is presented in the browser according to your wish.
Step 2:
The
current map extent is displayed by default. In order to change this, click on the magnifier to
zoom in (A) and pull open a box in the preview map. If you are pleased with the new scale, you can
accept it with "Add current scale" (B) (or continue adapting it with
the two magnifying glass functions). You can later zoom in the online map
between the set up scales.
Step 3:
Continue by clicking “Features (A). Here you will assign an action to layers
and their objects respectively, which is carried out by clicking them. First
select from "Clickable layers" (B) the one you wish. Leave the
click-function on “Show attributes” and choose under “Attributes” (C) the ones
to be displayed when clicking on the object. If you select "Set
searchable” (D), your online map can be searched for attributes of the chosen
layer.
Step 4:
Continue with "Layout” (A).
Activate "Infobar” (B)
and “Include title” (C) in order to entitle your map. Now you can provide the
map with a heading. (D)
To add more elements to the map, click "Include coordinates" (E) as
well as “include scale bar” (F) to show them.
An outline map can be created by clicking "Include overview map”(G). A dialog window will open.
For the sake of brevity, leave the default settings the way they are and confirm with “Save settings" (A).
We
leave the manifold settings for the appearance of the map on the default settings.
Step 5:
Now we can pay attention to the “Output settings” (A). We assume that you’d like to change the output directory by clicking “Browse folder” (B). If you want to make the map available to the general public immediately, you must activate the “Upload output” (C) under “FTP settings” and make the required entries (ask your administrator for the connection data if necessary).
The index tab “Tile export” contains “exotic” functions which are of no further interest to us right now. So click “Start” (D) and wait for the query whether to preview the map in the browser.
You can then marvel at the
result of the few efforts you went through:
