Launch Indoors from other apps

Available with the ArcGIS Indoors Maps extension.

Just as you can configure launch actions to open other apps from the Indoors mobile apps, you can configure a link to launch the Indoors mobile app from other configurable mobile apps. If your organization uses other configurable mobile apps, you can embed the share link in those apps to directly launch the Indoors app to a specified feature.

The following are examples of using a URL link:

  • Mobile workers who use a work order app can launch the Indoors mobile app directly to a specific work order.
  • Employees who use a company-specific app to keep track of meetings and events can launch the Indoors mobile app directly to the location of an event or meeting to quickly get directions without needing to search in the Indoors app.

URL parameters

The link generated using the Share button contains the parameters described in the table below that identify the feature's location. You can use these parameters to build a URL that launches the Indoors mobile app to a specific feature.

ParameterDescription

mapid

The ID of the mobile map package (MMPK) item in your ArcGIS organization. This parameter is only required if you want to locate the feature in a specific map and have more than one shared map.

The Indoors app displays a message if the active map is different than the map specified in this parameter.

Note:

If the mapid parameter is not present in the URL, the app attempts to locate the feature in the active map.

itemSourceKey

The name of the layer in the map that contains the feature, for example, Units.

itemUniqueIdField

The field in the itemSourceKey layer that contains a unique identifier for the feature.

itemUniqueId

The itemUniqueIdField field value for the feature.

x

The longitude of the feature. This parameter is optional.

y

The latitude of the feature. This parameter is optional.

l

The vertical order of the floor where the feature is located. This parameter is optional.
