Available with the ArcGIS Indoors Maps extension.
Just as you can configure launch actions to open other apps from the ArcGIS Indoors Mobile app, 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 launch the Indoors Mobile app with the map centered on a specific feature.
The following are examples of using a URL link:
- Mobile workers who use a work order app can launch the Indoors Mobile app with the map centered on a specific work order.
- Employees who use a company-specific app to keep track of meetings and events can launch the Indoors Mobile app centered to the location of an event or meeting to quickly get directions without needing to search in the Indoors Mobile app.
Note:
If you are using an iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 13 mini, the device does not automatically download and open mobile maps when opening a smart launch URL that enables anonymous access. Tap Continue as Visitor to open the mobile map after opening the smart launch URL on these devices.
