Cityworks - WMS 2.0 Integration

This guide describes how to load georeferenced Nearmap imagery in Cityworks using Nearmap's WMS 2.0. The process includes creating a web map in ArcGIS Online.

NOTE: Both Cityworks and ArcGIS Online are not Nearmap products, and as such any support you may need should be directed to Cityworks or Esri. Please contact Cityworks support by emailing support@cityworks.com.

This guide is intended to give you general instructions on how to view Nearmap imagery in Cityworks, and might not reflect the latest version of the application.
