Set the home location

Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the Indoors extension.

You can set a home location for Indoor Viewer if one is not already configured. If you deployed Viewer in kiosk mode, you need to set the home location to make it easier for anonymous use by visitors.

Browser mode

To set the home location for browser mode, do the following:

  1. Use a supported web browser to open Viewer.
  2. Search for a location or click a location on the map.

    The location is displayed in the info panel.

  3. Click Set Home.

The home location is stored to the local file system of the device and is persisted across browser sessions.

Kiosk mode

To set the home location for kiosk mode, do the following:

  1. Use a supported web browser to open Viewer.
  2. Search for a location or click a location on the map.

    The location is displayed in the info panel.

  3. In the info panel, click the Share button Share and click Copy to Clipboard.
  4. Open a new browser tab and paste the copied URL.
  5. Type /kiosk.html before the question mark (?) in the URL.

    Before changes:

    https://<yourportal.domain.com>/portal/apps/indoors?appid=<appid>&...

    After changes:

    https://<yourportal.domain.com>/portal/apps/indoors/kiosk.html?appid=<appid>&...

  6. Open the new URL for Viewer kiosk mode.

The home location is stored to the local file system of the device and is persisted across browser sessions.
