Hi Venus, Just to add onto Jake's response, I can assure you that many different sized organizations (from small to large enterprise), in many different industries, are actively using Portal for ArcGIS to enable the Web GIS pattern in their own infrastructure. A great example is Seneca Resources, you can watch some videos here: Seneca Resources Corporation Seneca Resources presentation Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Lara, > I am trying to print my Web map through one of the templates available on Portal for ArcGIS. I also experience the same legend problem when i build an app with Web Appbuilder. It's not clear to me what is causing the issue from the documentation you posted. Can you please capture the JSON communication in the web browser when you attempt to generate a print layout from Web AppBuilder? You can use something like FireBug in FireFox, Fiddler, etc. > ... how to get the Print on the Portal for ArcGIS map viewer to behave the same way my print service behaves (with page layouts and all, i.e. Landscape, Portrait, jpeg, pdf, etc) Enabling custom print layouts in the Portal for ArcGIS map viewer is currently not supported. This enhancement is under consideration for a future release. Please add your vote and comment on this idea on Ideas.ArcGIS.com: Map Layouts in ArcGIS Online Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Lara, I'm not clear on where you are trying to print your web map from, is it the Portal for ArcGIS map viewer? an app built from Web AppBuilder? one of the templates? or a custom app? Can you please elaborate? ... View more

Hi Lara, The analysis tools that are included in the ArcGIS Online map viewer are on the development road map of Portal for ArcGIS. They are tentatively planned to be part of the 10.4 release of Portal for ArcGIS. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Alexa, Robert's answer is correct. Just to add onto his response, the ArcGIS API for JavaScript v4.0 is currently (or soon will be) in beta. Targeted final release is planned for summer 2015, around the Esri UC timeframe. Therefore, Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS won't support 3D capabilities until the next ArcGIS Online update which includes the JS API v4.0 reference libraries. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Nick and Nicholas, Apologies for the late reply, I've been very busy the last few weeks with Esri 2015 Dev Summit stuff. > Deploy Custom Widget to Portal for ArcGIS ... Are you aware of any plans to support this in the future? > I would also like to know if this support will be added in the future At this time there are no plans to enable this functionality in Portal for ArcGIS. Two reasons why (off the top of my head): 1. Custom widgets means custom code. It would be very challenging to check/ensure that adding the custom code into the Portal for ArcGIS internal software files does not cause any issues/problems with Portal. 2. Upgrading Portal for ArcGIS to future releases. When we apply the Portal for ArcGIS software to perform an in-place upgrade to the latest release (e.g., from 10.2.x to 10.3), we need to be able to update any potential internal software files for Portal. Having custom code from the custom widget(s) would introduce an unknown into the upgrade process - possibly causing issues. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Vladimir, Apologies for the late reply, I've been very busy the last few weeks with Esri 2015 Dev Summit stuff. > so if I understand right, Portal cannot be customized (with my themes and widgets), and only apps I will create in developer WebApp builder can be customized with my own widgets. Am I right? Not quite. You are correct when you say the embedded version of Web AppBuilder (WAB) in Portal for ArcGIS cannot be customized. But apps created from it can be customized - when they are NOT hosted within Portal. So if you use WAB in Portal, you would simply download the code for the web app, host it in your own web server - then you could apply any customizations you want to the app. However, this would be outside the WAB "builder" user experience. > If I create my own app with my own widgets and theme, I can only register it on Portal, or I can create a template, so other user (if I will share it with in public) can use this template to create their own apps on Portal or AGOL. You can deploy a web app from WAB (with custom functionality) as a template in AGOL or Portal for ArcGIS - but these templates would need to be hosted on your own web server, following a similar pattern as deploying a custom JavaScript-based template. See this help topic: Add the template to ArcGIS Online > Will my own widgets available within the template in AGOL or Portal? Technically, the widgets would "live" inside the custom template that is hosted on your own web server - as part of the web app. The individual widgets would not be accessible in the embedded version of WAB. The template would be accessible to AGOL and Portal for ArcGIS end users, as a template option in the map viewer. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Tayfun and others, Enabling custom widgets within the embedded version of Web AppBuilder in Portal for ArcGIS is NOT a supported workflow. From the Web AppBuilder help documentation: About Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS The 3rd paragraph under key features states: “A developer edition is also available that allows you to extend the framework to create custom widgets and themes. Visit ArcGIS for Developers to download Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) and learn more about creating your own custom apps.” While it is technically possible to enable custom widgets within the embedded version of Web AppBuilder in a Portal for ArcGIS instance, this may void the software license technical support contract because you would be altering the internal software files of Portal for ArcGIS. Only the Developer Edition of Web AppBuilder supports custom widgets. Hope this helps, ... View more
