Create a web app for Indoor Viewer—ArcGIS Indoors | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise

Available with the ArcGIS Indoors Maps extension.

Viewer is available as a configurable app template in your ArcGIS organization with an ArcGIS Indoors Maps or an Indoors organization extension.

Once you create a web app from the Indoors configurable web app template, you can configure the resulting Viewer app. You can configure a 2D Indoors web map, an optional 3D Indoors web scene, route service, closest facility service, app launch actions, scale bar, print layout template, indoor positioning, hotel booking, kiosk automatic reset, a virtual keyboard for kiosk mode, logo, and theme.

Note:

Some options, such as routing and printing, may not be available if there is no access to the supporting services.

Note: When this parameter is turned on, the scale bar is still hidden in landscape orientation on mobile devices. The scale bar is not affected in the print layout. Scalebar Units—The units used for the scale bar. When using Dual, the scale bar displays both metric and nonmetric units. Metric values show either kilometers or meters depending on the scale, and nonmetric values show either miles or feet depending on the scale. Possible options: Metric \| Non-Metric \| Dual Scalebar Style—The style for the scale bar. When Scalebar Units is set to Dual, the style is always Line. Possible options: Line \| Ruler
