Download apps

You can create your own app from a shared map by downloading and configuring one of the ArcGIS Configurable Apps templates. The template ZIP file contains the files and instructions you need to customize and deploy the app on your web server.

Keep in mind that each ArcGIS Configurable Apps template offers different functionality, such as different layouts and color schemes, editing and identify tools, social media feeds, and side-by-side map viewers.

If your portal is currently disconnected from the internet, you'll need to remove all external references in the template and configure it to use your portal's utility services. You can configure the template to use the portal's utility service by setting the template's queryForOrg property to true. Instructions for removing external references and using utility services instead are included in the readme file that is bundled with the template.
