I apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum to post this question in. If there is a better place to ask for help, please let me know! I have successfully created a website using WAB Developer Edition installed on my local machine and am ready to deploy. I've read and re-read the Deploy your app page, but I don't understand the part about configuring and adding a proxy. I've followed the links to Use proxy and went through both of the blog posts that explain how to set up a proxy. Unfortunately, I am not an IT person and while I have aspirations of being a GIS web developer, I do not know enough to make sense of the reasons why you need to set up a proxy. In short -- I don't know if I need to set up a proxy, nor do I understand how to set one up. That being said, I don't think the proxy setup is the root of my my problem. I've downloaded the code package onto my GIS web server and unzipped it into my inetpub > wwwroot directory. I've opened IIS and converted that folder to an application. Is there anything else that I need to do to make the website available on the internet? When I try to open the website via the web, I get a plain page with the text, "The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable." I know I've entered the web address correctly, and my other two applications in the Default Web Site directory work fine. I should add that if I open a browser on my machine and type in \\servername\applicationname, the site works fine. If I try the localhost path on the server, the "app loading" page appears but the app never actually loads. I'd appreciate any resources that will help me learn more so that I can resolve my issues on my own. I'm eager to expand my knowledge, but am really struggling to find a good starting point. ...

I'm using WebApp Builder Developer Edition to "upgrade" our current property viewer site, using my own server to publish web services and AGOL to publish the map that the app consumes. I know that I can track overall hits on a map in AGOL, but I'm wondering if there is a way to monitor individual widget usage. In other words, I'd want a report that looked like this: Daily summary App access -- 100 hits Search widget -- 99 hits Legend widget - 10 hits Select widget - 87 hits Draw widget - 12 hits Basemap widget - 42 hits Basically, I'm wondering if anyone using Developer Edition has a good method in place for tracking widget usage? ...

I have a tabbed map series story map set up to show various districts with elected officials in our county. It has 8 tabs, and the tabs each point to a different ArcGIS online map, all of which have the same default extent set up in its settings. I've also added in that default extent to the story map application settings. The extent of the map for tabs 2-8 inherit from the first tab. Here's my issue: when you click on any of the last three tabs (Kansas Senate, US House, Township), the map appears to quickly zoom out, zoom in, and pan from west to east. It only happens the first time that you click the tab. Every subsequent time, the scale stays the same. The sudden zoom-pan behavior is disorienting and unnecessary. Has anyone experienced this issue? Any suggestions on what I could do to stop it? ... View more

We have a one-way child replica of our master SDE database for our non-GIS staff to reference without being able to change the data. I run maintenance nightly on the parent database (compress, analyze, rebuild indexes), but I'm wondering if I need to do the same thing on the one-way child database? Since no one can edit on that child database, I'm wondering if the statistics and indexes just replicate over from the parent. I haven't noticed any performance issues on the child replica, though I do have a nightly compress scheduled on it. I'm asking this as a "what's the best practice?" question. Thanks in advance for feedback! ... View more
