PropertiesDescription

webmap

Specifies the unique ID or URL to an authored web map hosted on either ArcGIS.com or the web server. After authoring a web map and sharing it publicly, the contents can be accessed directly by a URL.

For example, if the web map is hosted on ArcGIS.com, log in with your Global Account and browse to My Content. Click the title of the web map you are interested in to get more details. At this point, the URL will have the following format: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=<webmapID>.

For example, https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=1dcf369089804329946e3b3abf385251

Ensure the web map is shared with everyone (public).

Copy only the ID portion of the URL as the web map ID value for the configuration.

"webmap": "1dcf369089804329946e3b3abf385251",
