Configuring Mobile Project Center application settings

The Mobile Project Center (MPC) provides a set of application settings you can edit to best match your preferences. You access the settings, described below, by clicking File > Settings in the main menu.

The settings are organized into four categories: General, Content Sharing, ArcGIS Server, and Basemap Catalogs.

General

The General tab contains the settings about personal preferences. The settings cover clearing services/projects history, Local Project Directory, and RSS feed.

The History settings allow you to:

• Clear the history of mobile services or tiled map services used
• Clear the history of currently opened projects
• Set how many projects will be listed as recently open projects
• Clear the above history whenever MPC is closed

The Local Project Directory allows you to switch the location to which mobile projects are saved. The RSS feed text box lets you switch to a personalized feed.

Content sharing

The Content Sharing tab stores the credentials for ArcGIS Online, Portal for ArcGIS, and ArcGIS Server network and token credentials that you use to log in when sharing a mobile project. The URLand credential setting for Portal for ArcGIS are also used for accessing the feature services hosted in your ArcGIS Online for organizations. These settings allow MPC to remember the accounts you use to access different project storage sites throughout the application's life cycle. If you check the Remember Me check box, MPC remembers and applies the credential even if you restart the application. When you uncheck the Remember Me check box, the stored credentials are deleted after you close the application.

Tip:

If you enter the URL of your Portal for ArcGIS, it will always be remembered unless you manually delete it from the text box.

ArcGIS Server

The ArcGIS Server tab allows MPC to store the network and token credentials when you add mobile map services from ArcGIS Server to your project as operational map layers. As with the Content Sharing tab, the credentials are stored temporarily until the application is closed, and if you check the Remember Me check box, the application always remembers the credentials. If you uncheck Remember Me, the stored credentials will be deleted after you close the application.

Basemap catalogs

The Basemap Catalog tab allows you to add or remove existing basemap catalogs, virtual locations where you define folders of tiled datasets, or StreetMap for Windows Mobile to be added to mobile projects.
