Open Indoor Viewer

Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the Indoors extension.

Once you've configured Indoor Viewer, you can access it from the item page in the portal in two separate modes: browser mode or kiosk mode. When opened, the website URL will have one of the following structures:

  • Browser mode: https://<yourportal.domain.com>/portal/apps/indoors/index.html?appid=ec4d222d17eb4f4a9e1ab9300623f068#
  • Kiosk mode: https://<yourportal.domain.com>/portal/apps/indoors/kiosk.html?appid=ec4d222d17eb4f4a9e1ab9300623f068#

Note:

The only difference between these URLs is index.html (for browser mode), and kiosk.html (for kiosk mode).

Once you log in, the default map automatically loads. If you're using a private device, it's recommended that you check the Keep me logged in check box on the portal to avoid having to log in every time you open the app.

If an app opened in kiosk mode has been logged in to the portal, it can't be logged out using the logout action link, because it is hidden in kiosk mode. To force an app opened in kiosk mode to log in to the portal, click the refresh button in the web browser. In some cases, you may need to delete the web browser's cache and cookies. For more information about deleting cache and cookies, refer to your web browser’s documentation.

Note:

Kiosk mode is only supported in landscape orientation. A warning message appears if you try to use Viewer in kiosk mode in portrait orientation.

Kiosk guided access mode on tablets
