Available with the ArcGIS Indoors Spaces extension.
To create an Indoor Space Planner app, use the Indoor Space Planner web map you prepared and shared to your Enterprise organization as the starting point.
Verify a map and layers online
Review the Space Planner web map after publishing it and ensure that the required layers and tables are in your ArcGIS organization. Share the map as needed to members of your ArcGIS organization and save any required changes. This verification is important—required layers for Space Planner must be in place and shared properly for the app to be successfully deployed.
Create the app
Once the Space Planner web map is configured and the required layers and tables have been verified, you can create the Space Planner app from the Space Planner web map item page.
- Verify that you are signed in to your ArcGIS Enterprise portal and have privileges to create content.
- Browse to your Space Planner web map
and click the map title.
The map's item page appears.
- Click Create Web App and click Configurable Apps.
The Create a web app window appears.
- Click the Show All tab.
- Type Indoor in the search text box.
- Choose the Indoor Space Planner template.
If you can't find the Indoor Space Planner template, verify that your ArcGIS organization is licensed for ArcGIS Indoors.
- Click Create Web App.
- Provide the title, tags, summary, and folder.
- Click Done.
The Space Planner app is created with your Space Planner web map as the source and the Configure App panel active. You can switch to a different Space Planner web map in the app configurator or make additional configuration changes, including setting merge permissions or configuring automatic sign out. Otherwise, you can close the configurator and start creating plans on the map you specified. The minimum requirement to configure an app is that you choose a Space Planner web map.
Restrict ability to merge plans to a group
You can restrict the ability to merge plans to a select group of people in your ArcGIS organization. In ArcGIS Enterprise, anyone who has access to the plan and has editing privileges from the default Data Editor role or higher can make changes to plans and merge plans.
Note:
Only one group can be chosen to restrict the ability to merge plans. It is recommended that the group settings are configured so that the group is visible only for group members and members can only join the group by invitation.
Complete the following steps to enable this option in the app and restrict the ability to merge plans to a group:
- Create a group in your ArcGIS organization that contains members who you want to have permission to merge plans.
- Turn on the Restrict merging capability to authorized users only toggle button in the Configure App panel.
- Choose the group you created from the drop-down list.
- Click Save.
A confirmation that your configuration was saved appears.
Tip:
You can do one of the following at any point during the configuration process:
- Click Save to save the recent updates.
- Click Save As to save a copy of the existing app configuration.
- Click the Close button
at the top of the Configure App panel to close it. If you have unsaved changes, you are prompted to discard them.
Configure automatic sign out
You can configure options to automatically sign someone out of the app after a period of inactivity in the App Auto-Sign out section of the Configure App panel. This can help prevent access to corporate floor plans and other related indoor information by people who have access to staff computers when staff are away.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Enable auto-sign out for app inactivity | Turn this option on to use the automatic sign out feature. |
Idle Time (seconds) | Specify an amount of time (in seconds) that the app can be left idle before displaying a pop-up to determine whether the app is still in use. |
Popup Time (seconds) | Specify the duration of the timer (in seconds) displayed in the inactivity pop-up. When the countdown reaches zero, the user is signed out of the app. |
Complete the following steps to configure automatic sign out:
Note:
Ensure that changes are saved in the Configure App panel before closing it.
- Click the Enable Auto-Sign out for app inactivity toggle button to turn the automatic sign out feature on.
The Idle Time (seconds) and Popup Time (seconds) parameters are enabled.
- Specify a duration for Idle Time (seconds).
This is how many seconds the app can be left idle before displaying a pop-up to determine whether the app is still in use.
- Specify a duration for Popup Time (seconds).
This is how many seconds the pop-up appears before anyone who is signed in is signed out. The duration is included in the pop-up and counts down.
- Click Save.
A confirmation that your configuration was saved appears.

Configure list filters
You can configure the fields by which you can filter the Assignments, Unassigned People, Units, and Unassigned Units lists in the app. The second breadcrumb in the Configure App panel contains sections for each list. Check the check boxes next to the fields by which you want to filter.
The check boxes for the following fields are checked by default:
- Filter (Assignments)—department, facility, job title, level, site, team
- Filter (Unassigned People)—department, job title, site, team
- Filter (Units)—facility, level, site
- Filter (Unassigned Units)—facility level, site
Geometry fields, such as the Shape field, cannot be set as filters.
Fields can be filtered differently based on their data type:
| Field type | Filter by |
|---|---|
Number | A single value or a range of values. You can define the range by setting a minimum value, a maximum value, or both. |
Date | A single date or a range of dates. You can define the range by setting a minimum value, a maximum value, or both. |
String | A single field value. |
Coded value | A single field value. |
Display a configured unit name
You can configure how the unit name appears throughout the app. For example, you may choose to display a unit's long name if some units have identical short names. The third breadcrumb in the Configure App panel contains the configuration option.
Complete the following steps to configure a unit's name:
- Under Unit Name, click the drop-down arrow to see fields you can use to configure the unit's name throughout the app.
The options in the drop-down list include text fields from the Units feature class.
