From the Designer toolbar in a scene, you can choose an app template that requires minimal configuration or use an available builder to customize an app before publishing. Each of these options offer various functionality, such as tools, layouts, and color schemes.
To create a scene-based app while in a scene, do the following:
- Verify you are signed in to the portal and open Scene Viewer.
- On the Designer toolbar, click Create app
to access the following preconfigured app options:
| App builder | Description |
|---|---|
Choose an app to provide a focused experience using your scene. | |
Use a template or start from scratch to create the exact web experience you want. | |
Tell a story by combining scenes with narrative text and media. | |
Create a dashboard with visualizations that provide key insights. |
In order for the Create app to be available on the Designer toolbar, the scene is must be saved first.
When you publish a web app while in a scene, any changes the author makes to the scene, including its extent, layers, description, and so on, are reflected in the web app. If a scene that was available to everyone in the organization is made private (or deleted), the scene no longer appears in the app.
You can also create scene apps from the content and the web scene item pages.
