Prior to ArcGIS Pro 2.6, ArcGIS Indoors stored category information in a standalone table within your Indoors geodatabase. Now, with ArcGIS Pro 2.6, you can create, configure, and manage Indoors categories for your maps right in ArcGIS Pro.

If you started using ArcGIS Indoors at ArcGIS Pro 2.4 or 2.5, you can upgrade your Indoors geodatabase to take advantage of the new Configure Indoors Categories tool and new capabilities of ArcGIS Pro 2.6. The ArcGIS Indoors team at Esri has provided tools to help automate the upgrade process.

  1. Download the resource ZIP below and extract it to its own folder.
  2. In ArcGIS Pro ribbon, click the Insert tab.
  3. In the Project section, click Toolbox > Add Toolbox.
  4. Browse to the folder mentioned in step 1. In the tools subfolder, select indoors-pro-2_6-upgrade-tools.pyt, then click OK.
  5. In the Catalog pane, expand the new toolbox and use the tools in order:

  1. First, use the Upgrade Indoors Database tool to automatically update your Indoors geodatabase schema.
  2. Then, use the Upgrade Indoors Categories tool to migrate category information from the Categories table directly into your maps.

The resource ZIP includes an 01-read-me-first.pdf with details on each tool.

You can download the resource ZIP here:

Hey Jason,

Is there a blog regarding the new Indoors Layer properties available in ArcGIS Pro. If so, please point it to me.

Thanks!!
