Open Indoor Viewer

Available with the ArcGIS Indoors Maps extension.

Once you've configured Indoor Viewer, you can access it from the item page in your ArcGIS organization in two modes: browser mode or kiosk mode. When opened, the website URL has one of the following structures:

  • Browser mode: https://<yourorg>.maps.arcgis.com/apps/indoors/index.html?appid=ec4d222d17eb4f4a9e1ab9300623f068#

  • Kiosk mode: https://<yourorg>.maps.arcgis.com/apps/indoors/kiosk.html?appid=ec4d222d17eb4f4a9e1ab9300623f068#

Note:

The only difference between the URLs is index.html (for browser mode), and kiosk.html (for kiosk mode).

Once you sign in, the default map automatically loads. If you're using a private device, you can check the Keep me logged in check box to avoid having to sign in every time you open the app.

If an app opened in kiosk mode has been signed in, it can't be signed out using the sign out action link—this is because this link is hidden in kiosk mode. To force an app opened in kiosk mode to sign in to the ArcGIS organization in a browser window, click the refresh button in the browser. In some cases, you may need to delete the browser's cache and cookies (refer to your web browser’s documentation for instructions).

Note:

Kiosk mode is only supported in landscape orientation. A warning message appears if you try to use Viewer in kiosk mode in portrait orientation.

Kiosk guided access mode on tablets

Most tablet manufacturers have made it possible to restrict use of the tablet to a single app. This can be a good way to deploy Indoor Viewer to public kiosks.

Note:

On Microsoft and Android devices, this single app restriction is called kiosk mode. On iOS devices, it is called guided access.
