Configuring the Event Editor web app

Several properties can be configured in the ArcGIS Event Editor web app. Open the config.json file in the EventEditor web folder on the web server to modify and deploy.

Configuring the Event Editor web app is one of the steps (step 8) of the deployment process. Ensure that all steps before this are completed before continuing with configuring the Event Editor web app.

Event Editor configuration properties

Properties	Description
webmap	Specifies the unique ID or URL to an authored web map hosted on ArcGIS Online 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 Online, sign in with your global account and browse to My Content. Click the title of the web map to view more details. At this point, the URL has the following format: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=<webmapID>. For example: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=1dcf369089804329946e3b3abf385251. Copy the webmap value for the configuration. "webmap": "1dcf369089804329946e3b3abf385251", If the web map is hosted through Portal for ArcGIS, navigate to content and select the web map from the list of items in your portal. The URL has the following format: http://<HostName>/<PortalWebAdaptorName>/item.html?id= <webmapID>.
