Share a web map or scene for Indoor 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 Indoor 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 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.

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

  1. Open the map you prepared for Indoor 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 New 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 Indoor 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 Indoor Viewer web app using its ID or by choosing the web scene in the interactive Indoor 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, including 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.

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