Text that you add can be dynamic text or static text. You’ll often want to add some additional content to the map sheets including things like a title, north arrow, scale bar, and other supporting information. You can double click each of the individual pages in the Contents pane to see the resulting map sheet. After the map series has been generated you should see a list of the pages in the Contents pane under List Map Series Pages, with the first page selected and displayed in the layout as seen in the screenshot below.
Expand the Map Extent section and ensure that Best Fit Extent is selected.Ĭlick OK to apply the Map Series parameters and create the map series. You can leave the defaults for the parameters under Optional Fields. The legal_description field contains the legal description for each property, and we’ll display that as the title for each sheet. Select legal_description as the Name Field as well as the Sort Field. It will create one map per feature just like the grid and strip map index layers, but the features can be of an irregular shape unlike those two types of index layers. This is the layer we’ll use as the irregular index layer. The index layer will also be the default of Parcels_Tax_Delinquent in this case since it’s the only available layer. Since we’ve only added a single map frame to the layout this will be the default choice for the Map frame. The Enable toggle button should automatically be toggled on, but if it’s not you’ll need to enable it. This will display the Layout Properties dialog seen below with Map Series selected. On the Layout tab, click the lower part of the Map Series button and then select Spatial.

Map series pages can have dynamic elements that update for each page, such as scale or the map title, and static elements that are constant across all pages, such as graphics. A map series is a collection of pages (also known as map sheets) built from a single layout in an ArcGIS Pro project in which each page shows a particular map extent. With the release of ArcGIS Pro, what was formerly known as “map books” in ArcGIS Desktop, has been renamed “map series”, but the concept is still the same.
