Create an Excalibur with a definition file

An advanced option allows you to create an Excalibur project by uploading an Excalibur project definition file through a single step. All projects have a set of instructions along with a single focus layer that includes any supported service, including a subset of images from a service if an imagery service is used. Excalibur projects can also include web maps with contextual layers, observation layers, and GeoEnrichment definitions configured with specific observation layers. A properly formatted .json file must be provided to successfully create an Excalibur project. To view examples of Excalibur projects, see Excalibur scripts.

Upload an Excalibur project definition file

To upload an Excalibur project definition file, complete the following steps:

  1. From the Excalibur Project List page, click New Project.
  2. Click Browse to select or drop files here for upload and browse to the properly formatted .json file.

    You can also drag the file to complete the workflow.

    Click Close to return to the Excalibur Project List page.

  3. Once the .json file uploads, click Open Excalibur Project to open a project, Edit Excalibur Project Details to edit your project, or Create Another to upload another file.
