Obtaining Esri building ID and Esri floor ID

Esri Building and Floor IDs can be obtained by querying the Levels layer in the REST services descriptor using FACILITY_ID and LEVEL_ID fields to retrieve building-specific configuration values.

    If this doesn’t exist, then no building levels are published for this web map, you must consult the administrator.
