map series with multiple maps per page

gemhud2

Hello,

I am using ArcGIS Pro 2.7.0 and trying to create a map series with multiple maps. I know only one map series can be created per page currently, however I have seen other posts that suggest what I am trying to do may be possible using constraints as described here: Multiple Map Frame for Map Series - GeoNet, The Esri Community

I have a gazetteer of 175 geographical sites that I want to present five to a page with a map and dynamic text linking to several attribute fields in a horizontal panel (shown in attached file). The map series can be spatial using the point features of the sites which are saved in a point feature class of geodatabase. The point features have a table of attribute data which can be used as dynamic text.

I had an idea to create 5 layouts with the map series applied to each map and attribute horizontal section in turn, then copy and paste the correct map from each map series to make 35 layouts with sites 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 etc displayed in order. This is going to take some time though.

Does anyone have any ideas for a better way to automate this process to achieve my desired layouts?

Thanks for any help you can offer

All, I found an idea related to multi-map map series here: Use Multiple Map Series in Single Layout - Esri Community

Go like it!

The documentation for these features is a complete joke. I agree with the poster who says it's easier to use QGIS. Get it together esri your documentation is pathetic.

Hi,
Maybe I don’t understand your question. I do not know that QGIS have tiled annotations. If you only want to include many maps in a layout without tiled annotation, it’s very easy in pro.

Thanks for reply, unfortunately I go to make this on QGIS, this is much easier and efficiente on Atlas feature in it.

Hi,

The only workaround I have found is to make no mapseries (layout series for me) in layout where I have more than one map. So I use mapseries in layout with only one map. Doing so, I put a copy of my map data with tiled annotation activated and the other one with without.

After, in the layout with more than a map, I clean up my annotations by deselecting the annotation of my map in the junctions part. (Like in map 1 and 2 if I’m in 2 I deselect 2 to only see the 1) It’s not best but since ESRI make it worse in Pro than in arcmap, we have to live with it.

Regards,

Marcel

I have the same problem with map series pages for two or more map frames in a layout, only one map frame is updated. Have anyone a workaround for this?

Hi,

I think I have similar problem linking Map Series/Dynamic Text function.

I read the information and it's unclear. We always have a feature polygon with each maps extend with a unique page id.

I’m missing something? In arcmap, the datadriven page was for layout and, we can have 2 dataframes one with datadriven page activated and the other one with just and extend.

In Pro, mapseries (wich for me is wrong since its layout series), I can’t find the way to activate the mapseries on one of the map and just leave the other one with a fix extend. If I have a layout with two maps or more, the mapseries (layout series) tab look when navigate to apply to all maps which is very annoying. Like I said, in arc map, we only apply the data driven pages to one of the data frames (maps in pro). It's not what we need but, we live with it. The annotations was duplicated for the map without data driven but, with some adjustment it was not to bad.

So someone has found how?

Like I told before, a real mapseries link to each map and is what we need and ESRI doesn’t look forward to implement it and stick, like in arcmap, to a layout series.
