Kaarbontech supports connecting to your data using WFS in a read only format. Below are the steps required for setting up the WFS connection in ArcGIS Pro. These instructions are for the Desktop version. The Web portal has certain limitations and we cannot guarantee that it will work with out feed.

Configure the WFS Connection

1. On the Insert tab, in the Project group, click the Connections button.
2. Click Server, and then click New WFS Server 
3. The WFS Connection window will appear:
    

4. Enter the WFS address for your site in the Server URL field. This will consist of the URL for your KaarbonTech Site address with /wfs? appended to the end. for example, if the address of your site is https://demo.kaarbontech.co.uk, then the WFS address would be https://demo.kaarbontech.co.uk/wfs?
   
   

   You can find the URL for your system by clicking Operations and then WFS Server on the map screen of your KaarbonTech system.

    

5. In the Username field, enter a username that has WFS permissions. This may be your usual KaarbonTech username, or there may be a specific username that has been set up for WFS access. Contact support to check that you have the correct permissions.
6. In the Password field, enter the password.
7. Tick the box marked Windows Credential Manager. this will save the username and password to your computer so that you do not need to enter it each time you connect to the WFS.
    

Setting the Connection Parameters

Before clicking OK, certain parameters need to be configured in the Custom request parameters fields. There are three that need to be set.

1. Click Add Row twice to add two new rows.
2. In the top row, enter PAGESIZE in the Parameter box and 1000 in the Value box.
3. In the second row, enter MAXFEATURES in the Parameter box and leave the Value box blank.
4. In the third row, enter HTTPMETHOD in the Parameter box and GET in the VALUE box. 

These values set the PAGESIZE to 1000. This means that the application will request 1000 assets at a time until all assets have been downloaded. This reduces the chance of connection timeouts on larger datasets. The MAXFEATURES is set to unlimited, otherwise by default ArcGIS Pro will only download the first 3000 assets in the database. Finally, they set the HTTP connection method to GET. Our system is read only via WFS, so the default POST method used by ArcGIS Pro is not supported.

Once configured as above, click OK to save the connection settings.
