Web Appbuilder applications can remember the zoom extent and layer visibility selections from your last session. It would be great to have the Indoor Viewer app be able to remember you last view extent and facility / floor selection. Most employees only have access to one floor and / or "hotel", but the Indoor Viewer always starts zoomed out to the extent selected by the creator - usually showing all of the facilities. So the user must select the same building and floor every time they open the viewer. Thanks.

Scott, I see you posted this a year ago. I'm curious did you go ahead an implement Indoors or not?

That's understandable, I think having the user log in is the way Esri generally intends it to work. We didn't want the users to have direct access to the content in ArcGIS Enterprise, only through our custom application, so we went with the method in your original post and it works too. We store the credentials on the app server and use them to generate a token, the use the esriId.registerToken workflow. It works in development, but we haven't put it into production yet. Thanks!

I'm looking to do the same thing. Did you figure it out?

I've been trying to troubleshoot some issues on our ArcGIS Server and discovered thousands of entries in the Windows Even log in the Application section that have event code 1000 (you can filter on that), I'm wondering if this indicating a serious problem or if this is something that looks bad but is actually common and not serious. We happen to be running ArcGIS Server 10.3.1. Any ideas? Faulting application name: ArcSOC.exe, version: 10.3.1.4959, time stamp: 0x5519c79f Faulting module name: MSVCR90.dll, version: 9.0.30729.7523, time stamp: 0x516f78f6

Great update, thanks! I really like the arrow on polyline and the live measurements as your draw. Two small requests for some future update. It would be really nice to have the option to label only area when drawing a polygon. It seems to always label both area and perimeter. Second one may be a stretch, but can we control visibility on a per layer basis?

Thank you, Brian! This perfectly describes the mystery what we were trying to solve. A table from a non-spatial DB brought in to ArcMap (drag an drop) and joined to a feature class. No problem in ArcMap, and no problem publishing to ArcGIS Server, but "incorrect SQL" errors when we try to query that layer if we specify any of the table fields because the table name has a % added to the beginning.

I am trying to make a big upgrade from WAB v 1.2 with Enhanced Search v 1.1.6 to WAB v 2.4 and Enhanced Search v 2.4.0.2. My question is should I be able to somehow upgrade or import my eSearch config settings without having to manually re-create some 15 query layers? First few tries to use my old config file have not worked. This might be wishful thinking.

I don't see why not. We have been learning how to use Amazon Web Services, and I can say that creating a server in the cloud and installing ArcGIS Desktop is not very different from installing it on a physical computer. The way our IT has set us up, our AWS machines can join our Active Directory domains and reach our internal resources. It sounds like your IT is already working on a plan, so they will have to deal with all the network connectivity issues to the databases and file resources you will use (and printers), but that will be something they are already aware of. You may have issues if you need to be able to plug in USB memory sticks, portable hard drives or CD/DVDs. If that is something your workflow requires, be sure to let your IT know that. I do wonder from where you and your fellow GIS users will remote to these remote desktops. From a laptop or a desktop computer, I would guess.

We had this problem too, starting about August 10. Today we found that updating Chrome to version 53.02 fixes the problem, so we did not have to manually modify any code. Thanks for all the details in this thread.

With help from Esri tech support, we found the solution. In the config.json file on your WAB application are two entries for "PortalURL", and by default it is set to your organization's URL <orgname>.maps.ArcGIS.com This was causing the problem because when the user was prompted to log in, their credentials were sent to <orgname>.maps.ArcGIS.com which could not validate them. The solution is simple, just change the two Portal URL entries to www.ArcGIS.com Then the user's credentials are sent to the big guy for validation instead of the little guy (our org).

We are deploying a WAB (developer edition) based application on our own web server, but we need an authentication mechanism so that only authorized people can see the content. These end users are both within and outside of our organization. We have an ArcGIS Online for Organizations account and so do these other groups. We would like to have folks to be able to authenticate using their own AGO accounts. This seems to suggest it is possible: Sharing Between ArcGIS Online Organizations · Esri/developer-support Wiki · GitHub Following those directions, we were able to add a user from another AGO organization account into one of our AGO groups and then share content with them. They can open the web map that the application is based on, and they can share content to the group so it can be included in the web map. All of the content for this application is shared with this group (not 'everyone') We deployed the WAB based application on our web server. When we open the app, we are prompted by AGO to log in and if we use an account from our own organization it opens, but if the user from another organization logs in it tells them they are not authenticated and nothing appears on the map. So, if they log in to their own AGO organization account they can see the content of the web map shared to the group, but if they are prompted by the application on our own web server and use the same credentials, they can't see the content. Should it be possible to do what we are trying to do? Is AGO set up in such a way that sharing content in this way is not possible? Are there any other reasonable solutions for authenticating access to an application based on WAB and AGO web maps?

I use the "about" widget for a similar purpose to what you describe. Have you already ruled out that widget? I'm sure it wouldn't take much to programmatically open it when the splash screen is closed, then the user can open and close it when needed by clicking an icon.

Nice find Tracy Schloss! Nice work Tom Wayson.

It looks like the answer is no, not yet. Too bad, I was hoping we could implement that too. I'd say the work-around is to create a new, shared account for the collaborators to use and then change ownership of the item to this new user. Create groups—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS Note: Currently, the scene viewer, presentation viewer, and ArcGIS apps do not support the update item capability. For example, as a member of such a group, you can update the item details of a scene shared to the group from My Content, but you cannot modify the scene from within the scene viewer. Support will be added in future releases.
