Briefing Book with Time Aware Web Map

KateNewell — Fri, 31 Oct 2014 17:35:11 GMT

We recently hired a new Planning Director and I am putting together briefing books for the various work programs in our department to familiarize him.

In one of our books, I would like to embed a web map that I have created that shows the Home Rehabilitation Projects over time (1977-2014). I made a Time Enabled web map in ArcGIS online, but when I bring that time aware web map into the briefing book, there is no time slider or time "awareness". It shows all the locations at once.

I watched a video on the resources page that shows this is possible when using the "ArcGIS for Intelligence Briefing Book Application", which sounds like a slightly different application. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

The video that I included in this thread (question): Use Briefing Book offline on an iPad includes a map with the time slider. I wonder if this remains a prototype or is coming to us soon.

Kind regards, Xander

I would guess it is still a prototype. I worked with ESRI to trouble-shoot the time slider issue and they are working on a patch so that that a time aware web map will function in the briefing book. Right now, it doesn't appear to function. Our workaround was to create a time aware WEB APP and then to place an html module in the briefing book to call the web app. A little clunky, but it worked.

The html code would be:

where the appid is the web app id unique to the time aware app you created.

Thanks Kate Newell‌ for sharing the workaround.
