You Are Here Zoom Extent

Question

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to change the Zoom extent on the Indoor App Viewer when using the You Are Here function?

Currently we have those Kiosks as a point layer and then just point to the appropriate kiosk point for the You Are Here. This works for the most part but I have found that it zooms a bit to far into the building and I have gotten requests from users that they would like to see more the building on the default extent.

We use a single kiosk app per building and if a building has more than 1 kiosk then we use the same app for that building but change the URL to point to the appropriate Kiosk it is going to be on.

I did kind of find a workaround. I assumed it was by location and shape, so I essentially just created a polygon where the centroid was on the kiosk point, and just played around with the size of the polygon until I got an appropriate zoom extent.

I guess my hope with this question was that I was missing something where we could just determine the zoom extent much like we can with Map Viewer.

Hi @KevinDohner the zoom extent is determined by the location and shape of the 'you are here' feature. May I know if you have different Indoors Kiosk apps (appIDs) for each kiosk or you run the same Indoors Kiosk app on all your kiosks? I may be able to suggest an approach that could work for you depending on your reponse.
