Custom tools are geoprocessing workflows, such as models or scripts, that have been shared as a geoprocessing service to create a web tool. Custom tools can be added to supported apps, such as Map Viewer, and run from the Analysis pane.
Note:
You must have the following privileges to run analysis tools, including custom tools:
- Create, update, and delete content
- Publish hosted feature layers
- Standard Feature Analysis
Add a custom tool to Map Viewer
When you share a geoprocessing workflow as a web tool, a Tool item is created in your portal. You can add a custom analysis tool to Map Viewer using the Browse button in the Analysis pane. The Browse button opens the Custom Analysis Tools window, where you can search for or navigate to your custom analysis tool and add it to your Analysis pane.
Run custom tools
Once you add a web tool to the analysis pane you can modify the parameters and run the tool. The inputs can be selected from a list of layers on your map, or you can browse your content to find the layers that you want to use in your analysis.
Result layers from custom tools are added to your map as feature collections. Feature collections only exist within the web map that they were created in. If you want to keep your result layer for sharing or future analysis, save the result layer as an item or save the map that contains the result layer. You can also publish your feature collection to create a feature layer.
Note:
You cannot rerun an analysis on feature collections.

The following apps can consume custom tools:
- ArcGIS Enterprise Map Viewer (beginning with version 10.6)
