Creating bookmarks
Bookmarks enable quick navigation to a saved location. The Bookmarks tool allows you to create and configure bookmarks in the Application Builder for the end user of your Viewer application.
For developers, the add-in's full source code has been shared publicly on ArcGIS Online and provides an example of a tool implementation using the Model View ViewModel (MVVM) pattern. The tool demonstrates saving and loading a configuration and displaying wizard pages for collecting information. To view the source code, download the Bookmarks tool sample from ArcGIS Online and open the Bookmarks.sln file.
Configuring Bookmarks
- Click Add Tool on the Tools tab of the Application Builder. Select the Bookmarks tool under the Map category and click Next.
- Specify the Toolbar on which to place the tool. Additionally, specify the label, tooltip, and icon if desired. Click Next.
- On the Configure Bookmarks panel, navigate to each desired location on the map, specify a title, and click Add. You can optionally remove an individual bookmark by clicking the red X icon next to the title, or clicking the Delete all bookmarks button at the bottom of the panel.
- Click OK when finished.
To edit existing Bookmarks, click Manage on the Tools tab, select the Bookmarks tool in the list on the right, and click the Edit button to display the configuration wizard.
Navigating Bookmarks
Once you have configured bookmarks, you can view them in both the Application Builder and the published Viewer application using the following steps.
- Click the Bookmarks tool on the toolbar. The Bookmarks dialog box appears.
- Single-click the desired bookmark in the list to navigate to that location.
- Close the Bookmarks dialog box when finished.
Bookmarks cannot be added, changed, or removed by the user of the published Viewer application.
