Elevations Template

[MathewSuran]

Does anyone have documentation on how to edit the Elevations Template to include my own features and basemap? I looked over the template, but can not seem to find where each are referencing.

Anyone?

Are you referring to the elevation profile template from ArcGIS Online?

If so then that template is designed to work with a web map that is created using the ArcGIS Online map viewer. The simplest approach to have the app use your data would be to create a map in the online viewer that uses your basemap and data. Once the map is created you can use the map's id and set it to the webmap value in the config/defaults.js file.

Yes, that is the template I am referring to.  Is there any way to use that template and design a custom app to be hosted on our server bypassing AGOL? Basically, I want to utilize the layout and measure tool from the template and incorporate our own basemap, graphing, features, etc.  Is there another template I should be looking at?

All of the online templates work with web maps. IT would require quite a bit of custom coding to switch from a web map to create the map without AGOL. To switch you'll need to find the logic in the template that calls the createMap method and replace that with code to add the basemap, any layers, define the popup, symbology etc. There are several samples in the ArcGIS API for JavaScript resource center that show how to add layers, define symbology etc.

Thanks for that info.  Do you know of any js tutorials that could give me a good starting point besides the API resource center?
