Common clients of ArcGIS Enterprise

ArcGIS Enterprise is designed to expand the use of maps and GIS apps within organizations. The following is a sample of the many clients you can implement to help people in your organization interact with maps and other items in your ArcGIS Enterprise portal.

Configurable apps and app builders

With configurable apps and app builders, you can share your web maps through modern and responsive web apps inside or outside of your organization. These apps provide flexibility and are appropriate for nondevelopers because they provide starting points to build custom web apps without writing a single line of code.

ArcGIS AppStudio

ArcGIS AppStudio allows you to convert maps and GIS data into native apps that can be shared with others in your enterprise or to the public through popular app stores. The apps built with AppStudio are cross-platform—that is, they run on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows platforms. When AppStudio is included with a member's user type, it provides a low-code solution for creating apps. Members can build apps with configurable app templates, extend templates with custom code, or create apps from scratch. Administrators can assign members a license for ArcGIS AppStudio Developer Edition to access advanced app templates and other tools. With this add-on license, members can create a custom stand-alone build of their app suitable for a public app store (App Store or Google Play) or enterprise distribution. Members with included or add-on licenses can download the software from appstudio.arcgis.com.

ArcGIS Configurable Apps

ArcGIS Configurable Apps templates allow you to build web apps from your web maps, scenes, and groups without having to write code. Choose from a comprehensive set of templates to create and share focused apps based on your goals and the needs of your audience. You can also download templates from your portal, alter them, and deploy them in your own web server.

ArcGIS Experience Builder

ArcGIS Experience Builder allows you to create unique web experiences using flexible layouts, content, and widgets that interact with 2D and 3D data. Start with templates to create mobile-adaptive apps, modify template layouts for a custom design on different screen sizes, or build apps from scratch for more creative freedom.

ArcGIS Instant Apps

ArcGIS Instant Apps is the next generation of Configurable Apps, providing a streamlined experience to share your maps using modernized no-code app templates that are compatible with the latest features of Map Viewer. Publish instantly with app defaults, modify essential settings in express setup mode, or use the full setup to search and configure all the available tools and settings to customize your app. In the gallery, you can search app capabilities to choose the right template and manage the apps you've created with Instant Apps.

ArcGIS Web AppBuilder

ArcGIS Web AppBuilder is an intuitive what-you-see-is-what-you-get app that allows you to build web apps without writing code. With Web AppBuilder, you can build and customize apps that run on desktop, tablets, and smartphones with ready-to-use widgets such as querying, geoprocessing, and printing.

ArcGIS apps for the field

With ArcGIS location-based apps, you can focus on collecting data and imagery, navigating routes, and assigning tasks. Enable your field crews with these apps, even when working offline. Visit the Esri Apps for Everyone website for detailed descriptions and instructions for accessing each of them.

ArcGIS Field Maps

ArcGIS Field Maps is a new app that allows you to streamline field workflows and take maps anywhere. Mobile workers can use Field Maps to explore the maps you make in ArcGIS, collect and update data, and track their location—all from one app. Field Maps allows mobile workers to take their maps anywhere, including offline and indoors—and it allows you to deploy maps and content to a single location. For more information, find out what's new in ArcGIS Field Maps.

See the ArcGIS Field Maps requirements for information on supported ArcGIS Enterprise versions.

ArcGIS Collector

ArcGIS Collector is a mobile data collection app that allows you to accurately capture new data and update existing features in the field, even when working offline, and integrate seamlessly into ArcGIS. Using Collector, you can collect and update data using the GPS or by tapping on the map, fill out map-driven forms, and optionally use professional-grade GPS receivers.

See the ArcGIS Collector requirements for information on supported ArcGIS Enterprise versions.

ArcGIS Dashboards

ArcGIS Dashboards allows you to monitor people, services, assets, and events in real time. Using Dashboards, you can create and share dashboards with your ArcGIS Enterprise portal. Dashboards include charts, gauges, maps, and other visual elements representing the activities and key performance indicators that are most vital to meeting your objectives.

ArcGIS Drone2Map

ArcGIS Drone2Map allows you to visualize and analyze geolocated images you collect with a drone to help you inspect areas from the air and monitor changes. 2D and 3D maps you create with Drone2Map can be shared to ArcGIS Enterprise.

You can provision Drone2Map licenses through ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5 and later.

ArcGIS Explorer

ArcGIS Explorer is a mobile app that allows everyone in your organization to access their maps everywhere they go, anytime they need them, even when working offline. You can visualize data, search for places and features in your maps, view information about your assets, mark up the maps to highlight important features, and get directed to hard-to-see assets with the compass.

See the ArcGIS Explorer requirements for information on supported ArcGIS Enterprise versions.

ArcGIS Navigator

ArcGIS Navigator gets your mobile workers where they need to be using provided maps, your own data, or both, even when mobile workers are not connected to your network.

You can provision Navigator licenses through ArcGIS Enterprise.

See the ArcGIS Navigator requirements for information on supported ArcGIS Enterprise versions.

ArcGIS QuickCapture

ArcGIS QuickCapture is a field data capture app that allows you to capture data fast. You can capture the location and attributes of assets or incidents as you travel. A project author determines the arrangement of buttons, how they appear, and the information they collect. The app allows you to capture photos and sensor information from the device.

See the ArcGIS QuickCapture requirements for information on the supported ArcGIS Enterprise versions.

ArcGIS Survey123

ArcGIS Survey123 facilitates form-centric data collection workflows in ArcGIS. For a good portion of data collection efforts, geography is critical but not central to the workflow. ArcGIS Survey123 recognizes this fact and brings the sophistication of forms expected in the industry into ArcGIS.

Go to https://survey123.esri.com/ to create forms and publish to ArcGIS. You can obtain the ArcGIS Survey123 mobile app from Apple, Google Play, or Windows app stores.

See the ArcGIS Survey123 requirements for information on supported ArcGIS Enterprise versions.

ArcGIS Tracker

Note:

The ArcGIS Tracker mobile app has been deprecated and its capabilities are integrated in ArcGIS Field Maps. The Track Viewer web app is still supported and can be paired with ArcGIS Field Maps, ArcGIS QuickCapture, and ArcGIS Indoors to track the location of mobile workers.

ArcGIS Tracker uses the location sharing service in two apps: the Track Viewer web app and the ArcGIS Tracker mobile app. The Track Viewer web app allows administrators to create track views, defining who is tracked and who can view those tracks. The Tracker mobile app is optimized for tracking locations in the background, minimizing the impact on device battery. The mobile app records tracks independently of whether there is a data connection and gives mobile users control of when they are and aren't tracked.

See Create track views for more information on the Track Viewer web app.

ArcGIS Workforce

ArcGIS Workforce uses the power of location to achieve better coordination and teamwork in your field workforce. Get the right worker to the right place with the right tools to do the right job. Dispatchers use the Workforce web app to create and assign work, monitor progress, and see where workers are in real time. Mobile workers use the Workforce mobile app to work through their personal To Do list and communicate status.
