Add support for Velocity layers within a webmap

Currently spatial does not support Velocity layers inside an AGOL map. We would like added support for this type of map in Maximo Spatial.

The layer we are attempting to use is a Hosted Feature View of a Spatiotemporal Feature layer that is output by velocity. The hosted view is accessible by the token user.

Here is some additional documentation on the layer.

https://doc.arcgis.com/en/iot/disseminate-and-notify/feature-layer-new-.htm

The spatiotemporal layers do function differently from that of a normal ArcGIS Online Feature Layer. Most notably, in the json you can see the designation of "IoTFeatureLayer" in the "typeKeywords" section.

    Hi,

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. Our team has reviewed your idea, and we would like to evaluate the market reach further before we make a decision. So we will leave it here as Future Consideration for others to show support by voting and commenting. We will reevaluate within the next 6months and decide based on the additional feedback. Thank you again for your idea.

    Thank you for sharing this detailed use case and the additional context around ArcGIS Velocity layers.

    At the moment, Maximo Spatial supports standard hosted feature layers. With the upcoming 9.2 release, we are introducing enhancements such as layer refresh capabilities, which will partially address scenarios involving frequently updated datasets like those generated by Velocity. However, we understand that spatiotemporal layers (including those exposed as Hosted Feature Views with IoTFeatureLayer characteristics) behave differently from standard feature layers, and full support for these layer types is not currently available in Maximo Spatial. That said, this is an area we are actively tracking. Support for spatiotemporal/Velocity-based layers is already on our roadmap backlog, with further evaluation planned for upcoming releases such as 9.3 and 9.4.

    We appreciate your input; it helps us prioritize scenarios that are becoming increasingly relevant for our users.
