Access WAB app

BrianLomas — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 19:49:24 GMT

Anyone know how to deploy a WAB app from AGOL? And are you supposed to use it through a link or bookmark? Are you supposed to be able to see it through the ArcGIS app for smartphones and tablets? We're just having trouble finding a way to access it easily.

Furthermore, can you get it to remember your AGOL credentials to prevent signing in all the time?

I know it's a TON of questions but thanks for all the help.

Here is how you get to the Web AppBuilder in AGOL.

Create apps from maps—Help | ArcGIS

Once you have created a map application from WAB, you can share the URL with end-users. They need to be a Member of the group with which you have shared the WAB map.

Yea, we are to that point. Is distributing the URL the only way to share it? Do you have to register it?

Thanks for the info.

You can guide users directly to your map with a URL or they can sign into AGOL and see it in a Group (of which they are a member) where you have "Shared" the Web AppBuilder map application. No "registration" of anything is necessary.

Thanks for the fast reply... Actually, that's how we've set it up but it does not show up in our AGOL app. We can see the other shared maps within the group just fine.
