Share a web map or scene for Indoors Viewer

Available with the ArcGIS Indoors Maps extension.

The key components of any ArcGIS app are the maps and scenes that provide the spatial experience. You can configure the Indoors Viewer app to use web maps and web scenes shared from ArcGIS Pro. Web maps can contain feature layers, and web scenes can contain scene services.

Note:

If you created a scene, you must include a web map.

Share route and closest facility analysis layers

You can share route and closest facility analysis layers as a network analysis service to enable point-to-point routing and proximity-based sorting of search results in Indoors Viewer or Indoors Mobile. To use routing, you must share the network data and network analysis layers to your ArcGIS organization on ArcGIS Enterprise. To use this functionality in web maps hosted in ArcGIS Online, you must use the URL of the shared network analysis service to add the item to your ArcGIS Online organization. These steps are described further in the sections below.

Note:

You can publish route and closest facility analysis layers to Enterprise only. Publishing network analysis layers to ArcGIS Online is not supported. However, once the network analysis service is published, you can share it from Enterprise to ArcGIS Online using the service URL.

Publish route and closest facility solver layers to Enterprise

To share a network analysis service to an Enterprise organization, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to your Enterprise organization in ArcGIS Pro.
2. Create a map in ArcGIS Pro and add the network dataset for the site.
3. Run the Make Closest Facility Analysis Layer tool to create a closest facility analysis layer.

   5. Click Analyze and fix any errors.
   6. Click Share.

The network analysis service is ready to be used in Enterprise web maps, or added as an item to an ArcGIS Online organization to be used in ArcGIS Online web maps.

Add the route and closest facility solver layers as an item in ArcGIS Online

To use the network analysis service published to Enterprise in ArcGIS Online, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to your Enterprise organization in a web browser.
2. Click Content > My organization to open the organization content list.
3. Click the network analysis service item that was previously shared to the Enterprise organization, containing the route and closest facility solver layers.

   The item page opens for the network analysis service item.

4. In the Details section, copy the URL that appears in the URL text box.

   Example URL: https://organization.example.com/webadaptorname/rest/services/MyNetwork/NAServer

5. Sign in to the ArcGIS Online organization where you want to add the service as an item.
6. From the My content tab of the content page, click New item, and click URL.
7. Provide the URL from the network analysis service in the URL text box.

   Note:

   If the service isn’t shared with the public, you can enable the Store credentials with service item. Do not prompt for authentication. setting. This allows you to provide credentials for accessing the service. This prevents users from being asked to sign in when using web maps that contain the service.

8. Click Next.
9. Provide a title, and, optionally, provide tags and a summary.
10. Click Save.

The network analysis service is added as an item in the ArcGIS Online organization content. You can add the routing and closest facility layers to a web map to get directions and sort search results by distance.

Share a web map

When sharing a web map, there are several options on the Share tab depending on your environment. A web map shared using Copy all data creates a web map with feature service layers.

Learn more about sharing web maps from ArcGIS Pro

To share an Indoors Viewer web map, complete the following steps:

1. Open the map you prepared for Indoors Viewer in ArcGIS Pro.

   Ensure that all required layers are present in the map, and add any optional layers based on your organization's needs.

2. Sign in to your ArcGIS Organization if necessary.
3. On the Share tab, in the Share As group, click Web Map .

   The Share As Web Map pane appears.

4. Provide information for Name, Summary, and Tags for the web map.
5. For Select a Configuration, choose the Copy all data: Exploratory option.

   This configuration shares layers as noneditable feature layers. If you require some layers to be editable, such as the Reservations layer, first share them separately as web layers using the Copy all data: Editable option; then add the editable web feature layers to the map and share it using the Copy all data: Exploratory option.

6. Choose the appropriate Share with option:
   • Everyone—Share your content with the public. Anyone can access and see it.
   • My Organization—Share your content with all authenticated users in your organization. This option is available when you are signed in with an organizational account.
   • Groups—Share your content with groups to which you belong and their members.
7. Click Analyze and fix any errors in the web map.
8. Click Share to publish the web map.
9. Browse to the web map in the portal and ensure that it published correctly.

Use a web scene

You can share a web scene to your ArcGIS organization as a scene service for use in Indoors Viewer.

There are a few additional requirements and differences in the experience compared to sharing web maps. When you click the Content tab in the Share Web Scene pane, a list of web layers that will be shared to your organization to support the scene service is shown. To make the web scene layers editable, share them with associated feature layers.

You can add a published scene to the Indoors Viewer web app using its ID or by choosing the web scene in the interactive Indoors Viewer web app template configuration.

Update a scene in Scene Viewer

Once you share a web scene from ArcGIS Pro, you can open it in Scene Viewer from your ArcGIS organization. In Scene Viewer, you can further configure the scene with additional options by doing the following:

• Add a cartographic offset to layers. For example, you can add a cartographic offset to the Units 3D layer to prevent it from obscuring the vision of features in the map.
• Add a visibility range. For example, you may want certain layers to be visible only when users are zoomed in to a specific facility, but not when they are zoomed out and viewing multiple facilities in the scene. By setting a visibility range, you can control which layers are displayed at different zoom levels.

By doing these in Scene Viewer, you can enhance the visualization and control the display of layers in the web scene.
