Create a web app for Indoor Viewer—ArcGIS Indoors

Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the Indoors extension.

Note:

Deployment of Indoor Viewer requires that you have the latest release installed for the supporting ArcGIS software.

Viewer is available as a configurable app template in your ArcGIS organization in ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online with an ArcGIS Indoors license. Once you create a web app from the Indoors configurable web app template, you can configure the resulting Viewer app. You can configure a 2D Indoors web map, an optional 3D Indoors web scene, route service, closest facility service, app launch actions, scale bar, print layout template, indoor positioning, hotel booking, kiosk auto-reset, logo, and theme.

Note:

Some options such as routing and printing may not be available if there is no access to the supporting services.

The following parameters can be modified:


Parameter	Description
App	Information about the saved app, including the app title and link to the item page. Note: Click the Details button to view the item details in your ArcGIS organization. After the app has been saved, you can modify the app title and change access permissions from the item page.
Web Map	An Indoors 2D web map to use in the app. Note: Click the Details button to view the item details page for the web map in your ArcGIS organization.
Web Scene	An Indoors 3D web scene to use in the app. Note: Click the Details button to view the item details page for the web scene in your ArcGIS organization.
Route Service	The Route Service used by the Directions widget. The URL for the Network Analyst service containing the Route Service must be registered as an item with the ArcGIS organization (for example, https://webadaptorhost.domain.com/webadaptorname/rest/services/MyNetwork/NAServer). Note: When selecting a Route Service, the Closest Facility Service is automatically selected if one is available in the selected service. Click the Details button to view the item details in the ArcGIS organization.
Closest Facility Service	The Closest Facility Service used by the Explore panel. The URL for the Network Analyst service containing the Closest Facility Service must be registered as an item with the ArcGIS organization (for example, https://webadaptorhost.domain.com/webadaptorname/rest/services/MyNetwork/NAServer). Note: You can click the Details button to view the item details in the ArcGIS organization.
Scalebar	Configure a scale bar for the app using the following options: Show scalebar on 2D map—Turn this option on to display a scale bar on the map. The scale bar is hidden by default. Note: When this parameter is turned on, the scale bar is still hidden in landscape orientation on mobile devices. The scale bar is not affected in the print layout. Scalebar Units—The units used for the scale bar. When using Dual, the scale bar displays both metric and nonmetric units. Metric values show either kilometers or meters depending on the scale, and nonmetric values show either miles or feet depending on the scale. Possible options: Metric \| Non-Metric \| Dual Scalebar Style—The style for the scale bar. When Scalebar Unit is set to Dual, the style is always Line. Possible options: Line \| Ruler
Print Layout	The template used to display the map when printing directions. The Enterprise print service is used to derive the list of available templates. Possible options: Map Only \| Letter \| A4 Note: When the value is Map Only, the printed map doesn’t contain any page layout features (such as print date, map scale, and scale bar). Only portrait orientation is supported for the A4 and Letter print layouts. A4 corresponds to the A4 Portrait layout and Letter corresponds to the Letter ANSI A Portrait layout.
Native App	Shows a link to open the native app on iOS devices. This option is on by default. If you want people with iOS mobile devices to be taken directly to Viewer in their device's browser, rather than being presented with a link to open the native app, turn this option off.
Indoor Positioning	Allows the Viewer app to show the current location of the device with a blue dot using Apple indoor positioning on iOS devices. This option is off by default. If you are participating in the Apple Indoor Maps Program and want to use the available indoor position in Viewer, turn this option on. Indoor positioning is only supported for Safari. Note: Enabling indoor positioning can shorten battery life on mobile devices.
Hotel Booking	Allows users to book office hotels in Viewer. Hotel booking requires configuring units for office hotels in ArcGIS Pro. Learn more about configuring office hotels
About Section	Customize the content displayed in the app's About section using supported HTML elements. Learn more about customizing the About section
App Launch	Configure app launch actions. This option allows you to launch to third party apps, such as Survey123 or a work order management form, from the Viewer app. Learn more about configuring app launch actions
App Auto-Sign out	Automatically sign a user out of the app after a period of inactivity for desktop and mobile modes of Viewer. You can set the following: Enable Auto-Sign out of app inactivity—Turn this option on to use the automatic sign out feature. Idle Time (seconds)—Specify an amount of time (in seconds) that the app can be left idle before displaying a pop-up to determine whether the app is still in use. Popup Time (seconds)—Specify the duration of the timer (in seconds) displayed in the inactivity pop-up. When the countdown reaches zero, the user is signed out of the app.
Kiosk	Configure options that are specific to the kiosk mode of the app. You can set the following: Enable Auto-Reset for the Kiosk—Turn this option on to use the automatic reset feature. This adds a button to the title bar for the user to manually reset the app. This allows a new user that walks up to the kiosk to start fresh. Idle Time (seconds)—Specify an amount of time (in seconds) that the app can be left idle before displaying a pop-up to determine whether the app is still in use. Popup Time (seconds)—Specify the duration of the timer (in seconds) displayed in the inactivity pop-up. When the countdown reaches zero, the app resets to its default state. Enable QR Code Sharing—Allow kiosk users to share map items and locations to their mobile device using a QR code. Shared items can be opened in Viewer, ArcGIS Indoors for iOS, or ArcGIS Indoors for Android. QR code sharing is enabled by default. Note: The Viewer URL must be available to kiosk visitors for the shared location to open correctly. If the URL is internal or not available, turn off this option.
Logo	Customize the logo used in the Viewer app.
Theme	Customize the color scheme of the Viewer app.
