Using Custom Widgets in AGOL and Portal

RandallClark2

So i know, or i think, that this has been asked many time before but i am still unclear as to if it is possible or not , especially since the release of 10.3 and now 10.4 but is there a way to use custom widgets that i make using WAB Dev or that others have made.

Really for the time i am interested in widget made by others.

Anyone care to enlighten me?

Randall,

Currently it is not possible to add custom widgets to AGOL WAB or Portal WAB. The development team is working towards make this a possibility for Portal WAB though. If you want to use custom widget right now the only option is to use WAB Dev and host the app on your own web server or some web hosting service.

FYI, with the release of ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1, Web AppBuilder embedded in Portal for ArcGIS now supports custom widgets. Please see this blog,

Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS now supports Custom Widgets in ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1 | ArcGIS Blog

Hope this helps,

Thats a huge bummer. We purchased /acquired a few widgets (Pictometry, etc.) and not being able to use those in a template is a major issue.

Jeff,

No for 10.5, but I have not heard yet if it will make 10.6.

Robert,

Is there any update on this at 10.5 or 10.6? Can we add custom widgets to Portal?

Randall - Please go through the pdf found at the link below.
Robert Scheitlin has developed many custom widgets. Read the tapasdas pdf at the link above in Rebecca's message. So the answer is yes. If you
download the WAB developer's addition you can then incorporate custom widgets. It is all in the pdf.

Even if your IT people do not know GIS. They will know simple IT stuff like deploying a webpage to a web server though.

"want to involve your IT guys"

haha ahh thats pretty much me...everything we are doing from setting up Sever to configuring public access to service to install Portal is all new to the IT department here. Plus its just quicker and faster if i do it myself sometimes.

Thanks for link

Randall,

You got it. The second part of deploying your app to your own web server is pretty standard IT stuff so you may want to involve your IT guys. But if you are just wanting to learn it yourself then then look at this pdf from Tapas. Start at page 227 but the whole pdf will probably be useful.

So i am understanding this, WEB Dev is need to build apps and widgets but to use WEB Dev you need Portal or AGOL but once you make a Web App you cant not deploy it except to your own web server?

Follow up question, where would i look to learn the second part?

AdrianWelsh

Robert, as a somewhat work around, could you kind of create your own geoprocessing tool on the desktop side, publish it, and then add it as a geoprocessing widget?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

No, All I got was that they are looking hard at it, but there was even hesitation to announce it at the Dev Summit.

RandallClark2

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the quick and concise response.

Obligatory follow up question 1:

Any idea when the Dev team plans to release a update that allows customs widgets to work with Portal WAB?
