Available with the ArcGIS Indoors Maps extension.
The following prerequisites must be completed before deploying Indoor Viewer:
- Curate data in ArcGIS Pro
- Create a map with pop-ups configured
- Identify kiosk locations
- Share a web map or scene from ArcGIS Pro to your ArcGIS organization
- Provide network or closest facility services
- Configure user access to services
Curate data in ArcGIS Pro
The first part of the process is preparing data to use for Viewer. The web map must contain several important layers and tables that the app uses to present a compelling indoor user experience. The layers in the map must conform to the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model and be authored in a way that's ready to use in Viewer.
Maps and scenes must contain the following layers for use in Viewer:
- Facilities (buildings)
- Details
- Units
- Levels (floors)
- Additional layers that contain features you want to include in the Viewer app (for example, features that users may want to find on a map such as bike racks or ATMs, features to use as landmarks in routable directions, or events)
If displaying space assignments from Space Planner, the occupants feature class and Areas table are required. The IndoorsConfig table is optional.
Create a map with pop-ups configured
Viewer supports pop-ups that are configured in ArcGIS Pro before sharing the web map or web scene, or those configured in Map Viewer in your ArcGIS organization.
You can select an individual item in the map or scene in Viewer, and information about that item will show in an info panel. Viewer uses pop-ups to determine what displays in the info panel for a selected item. Pop-ups are a convenient way to present information about any feature in an Indoors map or scene.

Identify kiosk locations
When deploying kiosk mode, consider mapping out the kiosk locations. The location information can be used to help you determine if your organization requires a unique map or scene services in your ArcGIS organization for each of the kiosks. This also allows you to configure kiosks with location-specific information to ensure a consistent user experience.
Share a web map or scene from ArcGIS Pro to your ArcGIS organization
To use the Viewer app, you must share a 2D web map and, optionally, a 3D web scene from ArcGIS Pro to ArcGIS Online to use in Viewer.
Sharing an indoor map is similar to publishing any other map. You can maximize performance and control the presentation of information in a way that is useful.
Note:
You can prepare the maps and scenes you use in Viewer to ensure they perform optimally and serve your target audience reliably.

Provide network or closest facility services
ArcGIS Online does not directly support sharing network or closest facility services. However, options to use network analyst services hosted outside your ArcGIS Indoors organization are available. These options include direct links to publicly available network and closest facility services, and cross-organizational collaboration to network services that might be hosted in an internal network.
Note:
Use of network analyst services in ArcGIS Online requires access to an ArcGIS Enterprise portal licensed for Indoors.

Configure user access to services
User access to Viewer is controlled by the sharing permissions on the app’s services. You can share the services that the app uses from ArcGIS Online to anyone who needs to use the app . If the services are not shared with everyone, users are prompted to sign in with their ArcGIS organization credentials, and they cannot use the app until they do. If all services are shared with everyone, anyone can use the app without signing in. Additionally, Viewer uses the default print service set in the ArcGIS organization.
Note:
You need to license Viewer for your ArcGIS organization in ArcGIS Online.
To share Viewer with everyone, ensure that anonymous access is enabled for your ArcGIS organization.
Additional configuration for kiosk mode
Access to the services for kiosk mode is configured in your ArcGIS organization. Depending on how you want to share the services from ArcGIS Online, you can configure a single service to share across all kiosks or individual services for each of the kiosks in your deployment. If you don't want to require kiosk users to sign in, you can share the services kiosk mode uses with everyone. If the services are not shared with everyone, users will be required to sign in with their ArcGIS organization credentials to access kiosk mode.
