Connect Civillo Layers

If your team uses Civillo to manage geospatial data (utilities, design models, boundaries, work zones, and permits) you can bring those same layers directly into Aphex. The Civillo integration lets your site teams access up-to-date spatial context right alongside their short-range plan, without switching between systems.

This guide walks you through how to retrieve your Layer URL from Civillo, add it to your project in Aphex, and set a Layer Policy where applicable.

Publishing the Layer in Civillo

Initiate the Publishing Process

1. Navigate to your project space in Civillo and select the desired layer you wish to publish.

2. From the selected layer's view, click the three-bar menu to access the admin view.

3. Go to Administration > Layers > Edit.

4. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the Published Layer box.

5. Click the box to initiate the publishing process.

After you trigger the publishing process, you'll receive an email notification that is essential for accessing your published layers:

• Locate the email from Civillo that confirms the layer publishing has started.

• This email contains a direct link to the project's publishing page. This link is important because the publishing area can be difficult to access through standard navigation.

• Save or bookmark this URL for future use. The page provides a summary of all published layers within your project.

Once you have published the layer, you will be able to copy the layer URL to paste into Aphex. All Civillo layer URLs are accessed through your Civillo Publish portal.

Navigate to your project, then choose the service type you need. Civillo exposes its geospatial data through two service types that Aphex supports:

• Log in to your Civillo Publish portal and open your project

• Click ESRI Tile Service. This opens the ArcGIS REST Services Directory, listing all available layers with their service name and code

• Locate your layer by name, then click into it to open the layer detail page

A Civillo Vector Tile URL will appear in a format similar to the below;

• Log in to your Civillo Publish portal and open your project

• Click Web Map Tile Service. This opens a list of available imagery datasets for the project

• Click in the top-right corner

A Civillo WMTS URL will appear in a format similar to the below;

Once you’ve got your Layer URL handy, you can plug it into any real-world Location in your Project.

Visit our doc for step by step instructions on how to add layers to the Map.

Layer Policies apply to Civillo WMTS layers and control which sublayers are brought into your project. They do not apply to ESRI Vector Tile Service layers.
