00:01Let's talk about creating web applications.

00:05So I'm Jeremy, Bernie and Derek, as you know, and we're glad to be here to talk about building web applications with ArcGIS.

00:14You have many different options now, so we're going to hopefully go through all those…

00:18…and you'll leave here empowered to go out and put your maps on the web.

00:24So just a brief agenda here…go over the web application fundamentals, a little bit about what kind of web applications we offer…

00:33…and with no programming experience required. Then we'll drill into each of our main viewers.

00:39The arcgis.com viewer, ArcGIS Explorer Online, and jokester here will do the Flex 2.0 viewer.

00:44So we don't have it in arcgis.com in this experience yet…

00:49Just a little bit about fundamentals. I think these are pretty important to…I'm sure this is like a…

00:54…you've heard this before, it's a broken record, but this is very important.

00:59Of course the web application is accessed over a network, over the Internet.

01:04It really consists of a web map, and it's not just one service that goes with one application.

01:11That was really the ArcIMS days, if you remember.

01:14When you did the ArcIMS days, you built the service that targeted a specific application.

01:18Within that service, you would include things like your orthophotos, your sidewalks, maybe your building footprints, your street poles…

01:27…everything all just to drop on well locations, or something like that.

01:34Then your user, that forced you to show your users applications where they would turn on and off individual components.

01:41Of course, the user needs to be able to turn off the double-wide stream, from the perennial stream…

01:45…or they need to turn off the ponds from the lagoons…No, of course they don't need to do that, but that's what that framework gave you.

01:54Now it's really different. You need to come up with a basemap, either from Esri and arcgis.com using one of our basemaps that we offer…

02:03…or Bing or Open StreetMap, or you create your own basemap.

02:08And then you'll just add the particular operation layer on top of that basemap.

02:14That's very powerful, because you can start mixing and matching, different services together to create new and different maps.

02:23So it's a very important concept. Now the operational layers are the actual…

02:29…those are the important layers that you're going to add to your map.

02:32It could be a toxic release inventory layer, it could be parcel information…

02:39You know, whatever your map needs to advertise, whatever is the most important thing…

02:44…that's what you put into your operational layers that you put on top of your web maps.

02:49And then also, you can enhance your web maps with tasks.

02:58At ArcGIS 10, we've tried to make it really easy to create web applications…

03:02…for you to get your knowledge and your maps out over the web for everybody to use on multiple devices and platforms.

03:08So we have several out-of-the-box solutions like we've talked about.

03:11We have a hosted web application in arcgis.com…

03:14…and those are the two applications that Bernie and I will talk about, arcgis.com viewer and ArcGIS Explorer Online.

03:21And Derek will talk about the configurable application solution that we have, and that's the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 2.0 beta.

03:29All this information can be accessed from the Resource Center. So I want to drill into the arcgis.com viewer.

03:35Well, putting maps on the web is easy now, and that's the most important takeaway that you should take away from this conference.

03:42You can use arcgis.com to create and share maps. Just by using the arcgis.com viewer, which I'll show you in a second…

03:49…you can create this map, and send somebody the link to that map and they can view it themselves.

03:54But you can go another level. You can embed the map that you created in arcgis.com in a blog within your website.

04:02We make easy to cut and paste that map, give you the little codes you need to drop it in.

04:07The next level is you can personalize that map by actually downloading a preconfigured layout with the map that you authored in arcgis.com.

04:16Download it to your website, change the logo, do minimal customizations to it, to personalize it to give the context to your users about the map.

04:27Then finally, the last step you do, if you need to add more functionality or to create a more focused map…

04:33…is to actually drop down into the APIs.

04:36So the arcgis.com viewer is built with JavaScript API, and so you can use the JavaScript API to enhance that even further.

04:43But really that development stage is really the last stage that you go to.

04:51So with that let's just get to some demos here.

04:59Okay, so I'm sure you've heard a lot about arcgis.com.

05:04And arcgis.com really works off the services that you published, all the geographic information and knowledge…

05:12…the authoritative content that you guys put out for your ArcGIS servers…

05:15…arcgis.com is a platform to be able to combine all that…

05:19…mix and match, share, securely or with the public, that information to anybody else.

05:28But how do you get your maps into arcgis.com?

05:31Well, it starts with map services…

05:33…and just briefly I want to just show you a little bit about how you get your maps, MXDs, into arcgis.com as a map service.

05:42Well, you need publish this map document, so in this case I've got ArcMap open, I'm looking at a layer of recent earthquakes…

05:51…and then I have for context, I have this basemap and topographic layer.

05:55Now I can go ahead and just publish this right here, click the Analyze button,…

06:01…and it's going to say, Ah! Don't publish basemap layers, stupid!

06:05Because you don't want that basemap layer to come in.

06:08That's just context for you as you are building or authoring the symbology for the layer that you actually want to publish.

06:13So you want to remove that layer before you actually go to the server, publish it to the…

06:18…as a service, because the topographic map is already accessible from another map service…

06:23…and you'll mix and match those two together.

06:27So let's go ahead and remove that layer.

06:31Then if I want to go ahead, and publish it again, I can go ahead…

06:35…click the Publish ArcGIS Server button, and I'd be good to go.

06:38Now for this demo, I've already published this service on an external ArcGIS server…

06:44…just so that we could use it in other contexts later, and that's right here.

06:53This is this recent SoCal earthquake service.

06:56It has just one layer in it, and it has some information about the extent and whatnot.

07:01Actually what I want to do is just copy this URL.

07:04This is the addressable resource for this map service, and I'm going to use that to add that into arcgis.com.

07:12So we'll go over to my content, and arcgis.com…

07:16…when you sign up for arcgis.com, you get two gigabytes worth of storage for free.

07:21And you can store data, layer packages, map packages, and whatnot…

07:25…or you can create references or create map service links or web maps, and those don't take very much space at all.

07:33So let me go ahead and add this new item, in this case we're going to ask you a couple of questions.

07:38Where is this item? Is it a file on your computer? Well, actually it is an ArcGIS Server map service.

07:44We'll also ask the question, it could be a web mapping application or a mobile application…

07:49…and that's for you to share back to your application to arcgis.com because it's not just about maps; it's about maps and apps.

07:55In this case, I want to share this ArcGIS Server web service.

07:59Go ahead and plop in the URL, and we will go ahead and figure out the title for you.

08:06This time, I'm going to give it a better title. We'll go ahead and tag it, make it so it can be searched better. And now add it.

08:25So arcgis.com is going to contact your service and get some more information about it, and we'll add that in as a new item.

08:32Create an initial thumbnail, I could go ahead edit and add more description or access constraints or whatnot…

08:39…and I could decide to share this if I wanted to.

08:44I'll share this service with everyone. Now I just want to see that on a map, so just by clicking on the button…

08:52…I go to the arcgis.com viewer.

08:55By default, I'm looking at the topographic map, but I've just added the service that I've published on top.

09:02I see the title there, Recent Southern California Earthquakes, and I can drill over to the legend and I see the legend for that operational layer.

09:09This is what brings the map to life, communicates information to the end user. Now I could go ahead and tweak this map…

09:21…I can go ahead go and change it to maybe a different map.

09:23Maybe I don't want the topo map, but I would rather actually look at the OpenStreetMap service…

09:29…or even the shaded relief.

09:38Switch back to the topographic map, and now I want to add a bit more information to this map.

09:43Now I could go and publish some more things myself…

09:45…but I'm going to go ahead and search and find things that are already out there.

09:52So I'm going to search ArcGIS Online. I have different ways to find content within arcgis.com…

09:57…but now I'm going to search for ArcGIS Online to find anything with US faults.

10:01Here I see a service, active US faults, published by the mapping center team.

10:06This map service represents the slip rate and fault visibility for faults. Hey that sounds good.

10:10I'm dealing with earthquakes, let's go ahead and add that. Now I've added that map on top of my earthquakes.

10:19I'll zoom in a little bit more, and if I switch back over to the legend, I get the legend for the earthquakes…

10:30…excuse me, for the faults as well.

10:36I'm going to go ahead and tweak this bit…

10:38…and move this recent Southern California earthquakes above the other one, above the fault layer.

10:45But now I don't want to stop there …I want to find some other content to add to this map.

10:50So instead of searching for ArcGIS Online, I could search directly from my ArcGIS server.

10:55I could type in my own GIS server in here, and I'd see all the services that were there and I could pick the one that I want.

11:01Or I could look through a particular group that I belong to, see all the services that are in that group…

11:06…and then add that service to the map, or I could search the open web.

11:11I'm going to search the open web for earthquakes, and here I found a service from the Resources Agency of California…

11:23…a tsunami risk for California, so let's go ahead and add that map.

11:28Now I see a few things that came down here in Southern California, I see that area in blue, that's the area of tsunami risk.

11:39I'm done adding layers, I'm going to go ahead and move this one down…

11:44…all the way to the bottom, so it doesn't cover up anything.

11:47Alright, I'm pretty happy with this map.

11:49I want to save it so that I can share it out with other people, and also come back to it later.

11:54Let me go over to the Save button; now I can give a title to this map.

12:01So, Recent California Earthquakes Demo.

12:11Recent California Earthquakes Demo, Bernie, for future reference, which has California Resources Agency earthquakes…

12:27…and I could also put a good…also you definitely want to put a good description…

12:31…but if I were to write a good description…

12:33…Derek might tell more jokes, so I'm going to skip that step and go ahead and save that map.

12:41So now I'm saving that map.

12:42Now I'm not really saving anything, any actual data to arcgis.com, I'm just saving basically the order of the maps…

12:52…what's my basemap, what are the three operational layers that I have on top…

12:56…what's the transparency that if I may have set that…

12:59…what's the extent of the map, that's all that I'm really saving here. Now if I…

13:07Now that I've got this map saved, I can go ahead and share this with somebody.

13:12First, before I share it with anybody, if I want to share it with anybody I need to go ahead and make it public.

13:17I could keep it private and then only people who belong to…I could keep it private or share it with a group…

13:22…and then only people who belong to that group would be able to see it.

13:25But in the interests of putting this map out on the web I'm going to share it with everybody.

13:29Now, once I've done that I can do a couple things here, I can just copy and paste this URL and send the URL in an e-mail.

13:36I can go ahead and post this to Facebook or post this to Twitter under my Twitter account.

13:41And that will send the URL to this map and somebody will open it up it will be that arcgis.com viewer.

13:46That's the easiest way to put a map out on the web, using the viewer that we deliver and you don't have to do anything else.

13:53I could also go a next step. I could say, I want to embed this map somewhere else.

13:57Like maybe I have a blog I'd like to put this map into.

14:01So I'm going to go ahead and just copy this.

14:04You know those of you who've used YouTube, notice there's an Embed YouTube video link or string.

14:10You copy that string and paste it into your blog; you're doing the same thing here.

14:15We have different sizes, you can set or you can manipulate it yourself right here…

14:20…and I have the option of whether I want to show the zoom control. Alright, so I'll close that. Now let's jump over to a blog.

14:29So I'll put a blog up for this site, Jeremy's test blog. It's out there; JeremyBartley.blogspot.com…everybody can go to it.

14:41I'll go ahead and add some text here, and paste that string in just like I did before.

14:52Now all I need to do is publish this. Now [that] it's been published out to the world, go ahead and view it, and there we go.

14:59That map that I just authored in arcgis.com viewer has now been embedded into this blog.

15:05It's a real map; it's not a fake map. I can zoom in, zoom out, I have control over this map.

15:12Now if I also within that I put the link here to view.

15:14If I wanted to go back and get more information about this map, I'll put this link view.

15:19Larger map takes me back to the arcgis.com viewer itself, I see the comments that I didn't, excuse me…

15:24…the information that I didn't fill out that you would see there, and I can get comment on it and so forth.

15:32Now, that's not just that you're going to put this on your blog.

15:34You might also just embed this within your existing corporate website.

15:38It should very easy for you to be able to just copy and insert that in.

15:43Now let's go the next level. Let's say we don't necessarily just to want to embed it…

15:48…but actually we want to bring that map and put it within our organization…

15:51…and we want to have that website be from USGS.gov…

15:56…or MyCompany.com. Now we are still working this in arcgis.com, but we will be exposing this soon.

16:04What we've already exposed is in the JavaScript SDK.

16:08Now in the JavaScript SDK, we have a book of samples called arcgis.com, and I'll see various samples here.

16:16Here's a map that has a full map layout with some border and margin settings.

16:21I open this map…it looks like that web map is not there anymore…What I want to do…Let me go back to my map here.

16:42To my content…here's the map I just created.

16:48I'm going to open this map, and this is the actual ID that I'm really interested in.

16:52This is the ID that makes this map unique within arcgis.com.

16:56Go ahead and copy this ID.

16:59Go back to this full map layout and see that I've got this query parameter here, web map equals this ID at the top.

17:08This is some other web map. Replace that with the one I just copied, press Enter…

17:13…and now I see the map that I authored in arcgis.com accessible in this nice little layout.

17:21We could go further, and let's say we wanted to do, maybe we wanted to pick a different layout…

17:25… maybe I want to pick a layout that has an overview map already enabled.

17:34There we go right there.

17:35So it's pulling the title from the web map itself.

17:38I see the map, it's navigable, and I have the overview map that I can move around as well.

17:44With no programming at all, I just did this and brought it down. Now actually I haven't brought it down just yet.

17:52Right here we have a Click here to download it…That will give you a ZIP file that you just put on your web server…

17:57…you change the parameter to point it to your web map, and then it will be on your website.

18:02And you can take these and just tweak the text…

18:05…so you, maybe you want to drop a textual description about the map into that left panel, it will be easy for you to do.

18:13Or maybe you wanted to put your logo, put the USGS logo or your company logo up here on the top left, you can do that as well.

18:22Maybe you just wanted to just put an E-mail me for questions down here.

18:25You can put that link at the bottom and put your e-mail address in and someone will e-mail it to you.

18:31And the important point is that you're picking from one of these predefined templates that we've authored for you…

18:36…and you're downloading them, putting them within your organization on your web server…

18:40…and you're serving it back out to everyone else.

18:47…but in the next release of arcgis.com over the next few weeks, we'll add that.

18:51And we hope to have like 30 different layouts, and we might have 6 different spatial layouts of the application…

18:59…with each one having five different color schemes because really that's the hardest part.

19:02You just pick the one that you like, click it, download it, edit it, point to your map, and you're done.

19:09Now it's not just for viewing, but what we'd also like to look at is for, well, how do I create maps that are actually editable?

19:21Let me close up some of these windows here so I don't confuse myself.

19:28arcgis.com…excuse me…

19:30…ArcGIS Server 10 introduced a feature service.

19:32Feature service is an editable map; basically, you define the templates when you publish them…

19:39…what layers you want to be edited, and what templates you want to be assigned for the default values.

19:45If I look at this…that'll send me back up here…If I look at this layer here, damage point assessment…

19:52…I see the rendering information each of the templates that I should be able to, that our clients should use.

20:00And you don't really have to know too much about this, but we just want to populate a web map with this service.

20:07So I'm going to go ahead and create a new map. I'm going to search for a couple of layers here.

20:18One I want to add for contextual information is the Station Fire parcels.

20:34Now the next thing I want to add is this, it's hard to read in the back, but it's that same service…

20:38…I'd already added that service to arcgis.com, the one that I just showed you…

20:43…but it's the fire assessment service for the Station Fire, it happens to be a feature service.

20:47I'll go ahead and add that, and we see some information just got populated on the map.

20:52Let me zoom in a bit further. I see the parcels turn on.

20:56Let me switch the basemap to imagery with labels, zoom in a bit further, and there we go.

21:05Now I don't know if you noticed it, but at the top here I see an Edit button just came on.

21:10Because it notices that this map had layers that were actually editable…

21:15…it's going to enable the editing capability of the arcgis.com map.

21:19So I can click this Edit button and I see the templates that were already authored, published by the service…

21:26…and consumed by this web map, and I can just start editing.

21:30So I can go in here and say there was only vegetation damage at this point…

21:34…it's going to add that, it's going to present me with the list of questions or information to fill out.

21:40This is based on what was published, so the incident name I'm going to switch it to the Station Fire; the date…

21:46…I'm going to say was the sixteenth; it's only the vegetation, vegetation only, so that's not a…

21:52…I'll leave that, and on, and on and on.

21:55And I'm going to fill out what's the inspector that did this, well, I'll say this was Derek who did it, and then I'm done.

22:01I could also go ahead and attach photos to this, because this service…

22:06…the data behind this service, supports attachments, attachments are also new in ArcGIS 10.

22:12We'll go ahead and attach this photo to go with it. Now it's been added for that feature.

22:18Now I can also edit existing features, so in this case, I've selected this damage zone…

22:24…and maybe I want to switch it to catastrophic damage, or maybe actually I just want to delete it altogether.

22:31I can go ahead and create other features.

22:33Now one of the exciting parts of feature-based editing is you set the default values for each of these templates.

22:41Not only do you set the default values for the attributes…

22:44…you also set the default values for what the actual drawing tool should be.

22:49So actually in this example, this feature, the default draw tool type was Autocomplete.

22:57Autocomplete is a tool that takes the line that you draw and will match it with any features that intersect it…

23:05…and then use those features' geometry boundaries.

23:10Alright, so now I'll go ahead and save this map, Jeremy's Test Editing Map.

23:29And the template concept doesn't just apply to read-only maps, but it also applies to maps that are editable.

23:34We'll go ahead and share this map with everyone, and we'll go back to the details of this map, get this map ID.

23:45I'm going to go back to my JavaScript samples, and I noticed here I've got a map with Editor here at the bottom.

23:51So this is a template that's already set up for the editor.

23:54So I could download this, put it on my own server, and change it so that it's working with my own web map.

24:02Boom, there you go.

24:04This map is editable just like the map was on arcgis.com, but in this case…

24:08…I will have deployed it on my own web server and then I'd be done. Yeah?

24:17[inaudible question]

24:25Yeah, the question is, If you have layers that are editable, but you don't want people to edit them, can you disable it?

24:31Yes, you can right now add that layer as a map service.

24:35Map service doesn't support the editing capabilities, but you'll still see the features as well.

24:41And then also, we haven't put this into the arcgis.com viewer yet, but we will very soon.

24:46Actually the author of that of web map will be able to say whether he wants anybody else to be able to edit it.

24:53And then we'll honor that property when we display it, whether or not it's coming from a feature service or not.

25:02And with that, I think I will turn it over to Bernie. Yeah?

25:09[inaudible question]

25:12Yeah, this layer can be used anywhere. I could go back and create another web map.

25:16I'd just consume this layer in a different web map and use that.

25:21It's all going into one geodatabase and multiple services can point to that geodatabase.

25:26Let me show me one more sample of all of them.

25:30And one more sample that is very cool, and I think you guys could go and be successful right now…

25:36…is a sample that pulls in comma-delimited data.

25:40So in this case, I've got a web map, it's just a street map in this particular area that I've authored.

25:46I've passed in that web map ID, but I've also passed in through the URL this CSV file.

25:55So this is a URL to a comma-delimited spreadsheet that's living on some external server.

26:01Just passed it into this map and we've gone out, pulled out the location information for you, and exposed it to you.

26:11And we have quite a bit of control over the query parameters that you pass in.

26:15Now the only reason that I show you this is because this is something that is in the SDK now and works with web maps.

26:20arcgis.com will be opening up and we will be able to add more of these things directly to arcgis.com and use it within the viewer.

26:28And with that, I'll turn it over to Bernie.

26:34Okay, thanks, Jeremy.

26:37Before I talk about ArcGIS Explorer, I wanted to show you something else that's pretty neat.

26:41I think our goal here is to intimidate Derek into not talking about Flex at all, but we'll see how well he does.

26:48This is ArcGIS for iOS, otherwise known as ArcGIS on my iPhone or iPad, and it's a free download, was just released the other week.

26:56And Jeremy earlier created a map of earthquakes and faults, and things like that, and now, you're not going to be able to see this real well…

27:05…but I've gone to the My recent maps and I see here's a…

27:10…I've got Jeremy's test editing map, I also see Jeremy's recent California earthquakes demo map…

27:16…and now I've opened that up, and I think at least you'll be able to see as I zoom out…

27:20…you'll see that big cluster of red dots, which are all the earthquakes there.

27:24So the really neat think about how all this is coming together is…

27:27…ArcGIS Online represents sort of this online ecosystem that sits underneath all of Esri's products.

27:34You can discover things there, and open them up in many different client applications…

27:39…and use them in many different ways, and what you can do on those maps will depend on the clients that you use.

27:43But this is really cool, and I open this up on my iPad and the same application, it's what's used on my iPhone…

27:51…and I think I'm just going to show you the red dots here real quickly, I already opened it, right?

27:55You probably can't see that, but trust me, same map…iPad, iPhone, arcgis.com viewer, custom web apps.

28:03And now let's take a look at ArcGIS Explorer.

28:07ArcGIS Explorer, we recently introduced a new member of the Explorer product family, it's Explorer Online.

28:12It's been publicly available and fully released, came out of public beta about two or three weeks ago now.

28:19And it has a similar look and feel to the downloadable desktop version, has some of the same capabilities…

28:24…but it runs inside of a browser and it's been implemented using Microsoft Silverlight. Next slide please.

28:32Okay, some of the key differences are, well, first the commonalities.

28:35Both are free, they are available to use all for free, they have some very compelling capabilities, which I'll show you.

28:41They integrate tightly with ArcGIS Online.

28:44The big differences are that the downloadable desktop version works with local content…

28:49…like your file geodatabases, your local rasters, you can connect to ArcSDE, you can add shapefiles, and it works with local content.

28:57It's also both a 2D and 3D application.

29:00The Explorer Online version works primarily with online content like the web maps and services that you saw Jeremy use…

29:08…and it's also currently a 2D application only. So let's take a closer look at that.

29:15And we'll switch over to my laptop. And the first thing I'd like to show is how you get started with Explorer Online.

29:22You do that by just typing in explorer.arcgis.com.

29:26If you need to install Silverlight, you'll be prompted on the way, but here is the application.

29:32It opens up with the default ArcGIS Online world topographic basemap, which is that basemap that has some great content in it.

29:41So let's take a quick tour of some of that content real quickly here.

29:45So here's Toronto, is where I wanted to go, and as I zoom into Toronto you'll see it's a multiresolution basemap…

29:54…and it's been compiled with contributions from GIS users everywhere, and here are the contributions from the city of Toronto.

30:01Let's go to Washington, D.C., here very quickly, and I can zoom in on Washington, D.C.

30:08The search tool is also a gazetteer, I can type in things like "the Mall," meaning the National Mall, and we can find that.

30:15I can type things like "the White House" and we can find the White House.

30:19There it is on the map with a little pushpin, and as I zoom in…

30:22…we'll see the detailed content that was contributed to this basemap by the District of Columbia.

30:28And other basemaps are available.

30:29I can just open up the basemap gallery, the same basemap gallery that's available in the arcgis.com viewer, which Jeremy showed…

30:37…and I can choose any of those and use that as my basemap for adding my operational layers on top of that.

30:44Let's go back to the topographic basemap for a second, and let's zoom out.

30:49One of the things that Jeremy showed was connecting to a service that he added, which was the recent California earthquakes.

30:56And I'm going to look for content to add to my map, and the places I can look are, ArcGIS, meaning ArcGIS Online…

31:03…and open web search where I can connect to a specific ArcGIS server through its URL.

31:09Now let's first do an open web search. I'm just going to type "weather," and I see a number of hits here.

31:15Here is one I'm familiar with. This is coming from the National Weather Service, and it's the live Doppler weather radar.

31:22It's kind of coarse as we're zoomed in, but we zoom out and we can get a live Doppler weather radar picture of the United States.

31:30So, I've done an open web search to open the contents, I can do that at the bottom…

31:37…and I have different tools which I can now apply to this layer.

31:41For example, I can adjust the transparency and do other things.

31:45I'm going to turn that off for now, and let's go back to searching for data.

31:50And what I'd like to do is now go to ArcGIS. Let's look for those recent California earthquakes.

31:56So if I type in enough keywords, "recent earthquakes," I should be able to find Jeremy's…

32:02…and amongst others, here it is.

32:04I see it's been authored by J. Bartley, and there's the link to the services directory and the thumbnail, and I'll add that to my map.

32:11So here I've connected to that service and there we go.

32:16There's the earthquakes, and we had actually a pretty good earthquake here not long ago…

32:22…and it was along this area of the fault coming from Baja into this area.

32:26So tonight when you are out there on the Embarcadero, just remember this map.

32:32And look to the west for the tsunami coming in.

32:37Okay, so I've connected to the same service that Jeremy just authored and I've added this to my map.

32:44And ArcGIS Explorer provides me some additional interesting capabilities.

32:48Let's open up my contents here, and here's my recent California earthquakes highlighted…

32:54…and with that highlighted I can choose the tools tabs and I can create a query.

32:58This is pretty interesting. I'm going to work against recent earthquakes and the query I want to do is…

33:03…I want to look for all earthquakes where the magnitude is greater than or equal to 3, and click OK.

33:10So that query has been executed, those earthquakes are now highlighted…

33:14…and you can see that there's just a cluster of them here in this area down near Baja California.

33:21And I can look at these individually and as I click these, they're being highlighted, and I can look at more information.

33:27Now a query is almost like a map layer. It's just stored in ArcMap, just like we can do things like this ArcGIS Desktop.

33:35So what I might do is, I might rename this and call it, Magnitude Greater Than 3, and now that's part of my map.

33:44And anytime I want to execute that query I just double-click, click, and it executes the query.

33:51Now there are other things that I can do with queries that are pretty neat. I can create what's called a parameterized query…

33:56…and in this case, rather hard wire it, I'm going to create a new parameterized query.

34:01I'm going to choose magnitude, I'm going to use as my operator greater than or equal to, and let's put in the default value of 3.

34:10I add a prompt string, and my prompt string will be Enter magnitude, and I give it a hint, and my hint will be Enter a number.

34:19And let's go back to my query, let's select that, and click OK.

34:24Now I have a parameterized query. Let me toggle that off for a second, and let's rename this.

34:31And this will be Find Earthquakes.

34:36Okay. So there's that query, and now when I double-click on it, I'm able to enter a parameter.

34:42My prompt is Enter magnitude. As I hover over this, I will get the hint; the hint says, Enter a number.

34:48Let's look for all the 5 or greater earthquakes and click Execute, and you can see there've been some down in this area.

34:55We had a 5.4 or 5.7 I think the other week in this area here. So queries are an interesting feature of ArcGIS Explorer.

35:05Now let's take a look at another way that I can experience ArcGIS Explorer.

35:08I'm going to go to the arcgis.com website and I want to look for some maps.

35:13And a map that I might be looking for would be, let's say, California earthquakes…

35:21…and as you might recall, Jeremy created an earthquake map, which I don't see here at the moment.

35:26Let's click on Date to find the most recent ones, and here it is.

35:30It's the recent California earthquakes demo, that map that Jeremy created earlier.

35:35I can view the details, and Jeremy has shown that it preserves all of the links to the service endpoints…

35:43… and I can also open this in the arcgis.com viewer, or I can open it in Explorer Online or ArcGIS Desktop 10.

35:52Let's open this map in ArcGIS Explorer Online, and this time I have all the layers that Jeremy had added.

36:00So I've got the active US faults, I've got the tsunami risk and recent Southern California earthquakes.

36:06Let's go down now to the, my favorite area here in the Imperial Valley area, and let's make a presentation.

36:15This highlights one of the capabilities of Explorer.

36:17Before I do that, even though I've opened Jeremy's map, I can adjust it a little bit.

36:22So I can say, I'd rather look at the imagery instead.

36:25So I can now take control of Jeremy's map and add more layers, change basemaps and so forth.

36:31I'm going to create a presentation, and let's just turn off these layers, and let's think about what we might do here.

36:37Let's make a presentation, I'll give it a title, and this will be Earthquakes in California, and I'll capture that as a slide.

36:47Now let's zoom in to Southern California and we'll edit the title, and let's make the title Let's Take a Closer Look Near San Diego…

36:59…and we'll capture that as a new slide.

37:01And now let's add my tsunami risk polygons, let's zoom in a little bit.

37:06So there's a tsunami risk; edit title, and we'll label this Tsunami Risk.

37:12Pretty soon I'll not do the titles anymore, you get the idea.

37:15I'll capture that as a new slide. And let's turn on the active faults here in the United States, capture that as a new slide…

37:22…and let's add the recent California quakes.

37:25We'll shift over a little bit, capture that as a new slide, and now let's do something else.

37:30Let's add something called a note, and a note's kind of interesting.

37:34I can use it to mark up my map, and just for the sake of time here, I'm just going to digitize a rough, sorry…

37:44…a rough polygon outline.

37:45I did a terrible job digitizing that, let's edit that shape.

37:48I double-click on it and I can grab these vertices and adjust them around a little bit more to refine my shape.

37:54A note is a great way to add additional content, and I'm going to give this a title.

38:00I'll call this My Area of Concern for This Evening's Party. And we'll also provide that as a description.

38:10I'm going to add a link to a website, and I'm going to use a word called website…

38:15…and we'll link to www.esri.com, and I want to add more context…

38:19I can add an image or a video, and here I did a Google search and found a roller coaster…

38:25…which might be indicative of what you'll experience should an earthquake hit, and I'll go ahead and paste that.

38:35Sorry, let's go back I need the whole string. Copy that and let's paste that in here, and now we have a roller coaster added to a note.

38:46Notes can be points, lines, polys; you click on them. Here I have a link to the Esri website as well that I added.

38:52You get the idea with this. Let's turn off the note, let's edit the title and call this Area of Concern, and we'll turn on that note…

39:03…and we'll capture that slide, we'll open the pop-up, we'll capture that slide, and we have a presentation.

39:09Let's see how we do. It opens up in full screen and I can use the space bar, or I can use these controls at the top to advance.

39:17I can also open up the slide preview, and I can click on slides to advance.

39:22So let's hit the space bar. We'll move to the next slide.

39:24We're going to take a closer look at San Diego and examine some of the earthquake risk.

39:29Now at any point in time, I can zoom in. Jeremy asked me a question.

39:33Well, do we need to worry about tsunamis here at the Convention Center?

39:37And I zoom in, and I can say, yeah, looks like it. Let's get some more information…

39:41…and I can click on that feature, and I can identify, and I can get additional information about the tsunami.

39:48Okay, back to the slide show. And let's take a look at the faults which we've added, and now let's take a look at this area…

39:56…and this is an area of concern, and holy cow, what a ride it will be tonight if we have a big earthquake.

40:03So that's a presentation, and the interesting thing about these is…

40:07…I save them with my map, I can share them easily via a link, so anybody can view these presentations and use them…

40:14…and in fact, if I go back to arcgis.com, look at the gallery…

40:19…one of the favorite presentations of this conference has been Rupert Essinger's conference tour.

40:26A little tour, and he's implemented it just using Explorer Online.

40:29And this is in the gallery; you can go ahead and click on it and take a look at it.

40:34He's added some titles, some points of interest, and we can cruise around the city and see where we might want to go.

40:40And I can click on features and get more information about all the places to eat and drink and be merry.

40:47So this is a really good example, there are many examples on arcgis.com, and with that, I'll turn it back to Derek.

40:59Can you guys hear me okay? Bernie is a tough act to follow.

41:05So I want to talk about the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex…

41:07…and the number one thing I want to hammer home is that this product is different from the arcgis.com viewer…

41:13…and the ArcGIS Explorer Online product, because those two applications are hosted by Esri on arcgis.com.

41:20The product that I'm going to talk about is something that you would go to the Resource Center, download it…

41:25… and install it and serve it on your own server machine or on your own web server.

41:30And the idea is, this is a ready-to-deploy, quick, and easy product that you can configure…

41:34…and set up to use with your own ArcGIS Server services…

41:38…and also with services from ArcGIS Online.

41:40So it's a configurable, ready-to-deploy web application built on the ArcGIS API for Flex.

41:50You can easily and quickly build and deploy a web mapping application.

41:53So all you do is, you go to the website, to resources.esri.com…

41:57…you download it, you configure it if you want and customize it, and then you deploy it.

42:02It's that easy, and I'm going to demonstrate that to you in my demo later on.

42:05Key thing to be aware of, no programming required. So if you are not a developer, life is good.

42:11This is the out-of-the-box solution that many users have been waiting for.

42:15If you can edit HTML files, you can edit XML files…

42:18…I'll demonstrate that for you to customize the application for your specific business or your specific workflow.

42:23You can also add functionality by editing these XML files.

42:29For those of you who may be familiar with, who's used the sample viewer, the sample Flex viewer? Anyone?

42:34This was a very popular developer sample available at the 9.3.1 release.

42:39Basically, we've taken that developer sample and we've now made it a product.

42:43Notice on the title I have beta. So we're currently in beta.

42:46We released the first beta two weeks ago, and we released a new beta last Friday with the edit widget, so…

42:52…fully supported by technical support.

42:54Now if this out-of-the-box application isn't quite right, and you want to tweak it some more…

42:59…we're going to make available to you the source code.

43:01So you can hire a developer, or if you write in Flex code yourself, then you can customize it for whatever means you want.

43:07So it's available off the Resource Center, and the quickest link is links.esri.com/Flex-viewer.

43:15So I have a quick slide just to kind of show a screen capture of the application.

43:19I wanted to show this so that you can orient yourself when I refer to some of the pieces.

43:24In the upper left-hand corner, we have our application title, subtitle, and logo; that is customizable and I'll show that to you.

43:30On the left-hand side, we have our zoom slider bar; on the lower left-hand corner, we have our scale bar.

43:35That's dynamic, and it changes with the data as you pan and zoom around, so keep your eyes out for that when I demonstrate this.

43:42In the lower right-hand corner we have our overview map, and at the top we have what's called the widget tray.

43:47Think of this as analogous to the Windows toolbar tray, when you have different applications open.

43:54So you can click that button, and that will open up little dialogs, for different pieces of functionality, and I'll demo that as well.

43:59Finally, on the upper right-hand corner, we have the map switcher…

44:02…and this allows us to switch between basemaps. But it's probably best to just demo this.

44:10So again, like with the other demos, we start off at resources.arcgis.com, and I'm going to show you get the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex…

44:19…which is available for free, which is good. On the lower left-hand corner, we have this ArcGIS products link…

44:25… and you can get the product either from the web link or the server link, but the web link is faster.

44:31When you click web, it'll take you to the web application's landing page, and we talk about the four different options.

44:37Jeremy already talked about the ArcGIS .com viewer. Bernie talked about ArcGIS Explorer Online.

44:43There is a fourth option, which is ArcGIS Mapping for SharePoint, so you can include little mapping applets on a SharePoint site.

44:50But I'm here to talk about the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex.

44:53If you click this link, it'll take you to the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex Resource Center.

44:58And here we have a complete bunch of resources. We have some code samples if you want, help documentation; again, it's in beta.

45:06We have a little description about what the product does and what it is, and then we have three different sample apps.

45:10If you want to explore with it, so I can click on a default configuration link, and here it is…

45:16…the application running live real time, and you can mess around with it.

45:20But I said to you that the key differentiator between this product…

45:23…and the other two viewers that you saw earlier is that you can download it…

45:28…configure it, and then deploy it on your local servers, right?

45:31So I'm going to, I'm going to do that right now.

45:32I'll go back and I'll click on the Download Flex Viewer link.

45:36When I click on that, it's going to give you some instructions on how to grab it.

45:39First, you have to sign in to arcgis.com, and I've already done that, if you look in the upper right-hand corner.

45:45And then you simply click on the download page, which I will do.

45:49So I click on the download page, and there's another page to download it.

45:53And then it'll prompt you to ask you, where do you want to save this download package?

45:57So I will click Save, and I've already navigated by default to my inet pub, wwroute UC demo directory, so I hit Save.

46:08The inet pub directory is basically a web folder on my Windows operating system that allows me to share resources onto the web.

46:15Really quick, you can see it's a small download package. I've already completed it; I will hit Close.

46:20Now what I'm going to do is go into Windows Explorer, and you can see I have that ZIP file. If I double-click that ZIP file…

46:27…you can see that inside the ZIP, here are all the files that I need to run that ArcGIS Viewer for Flex product or application.

46:35I'll select all the files, and I will extract them to that same default location, inet pub wwroute/UC demo…

46:43… and I'll hit Extract. Again, really quickly, WinZip will go through in matter of seconds and extract that application.

46:50And it's that easy, I have a Flex Viewer folder, I am theoretically ready to run, and I can start working with it right away.

46:56What I will do is open up that folder, so you can see inside the contents of the folder.

47:01Pretty small, we have bunch of configuration files, notice all with an XML extension, a folder for widgets, and a folder for assets.

47:08So I'm going to minimize Windows Explorer now and go back to Internet Explorer.

47:13And here I'll type in the URL to access that viewer.

47:16So http localhost ucdemo Flexviewer. This is just a directory of that location, that download location.

47:26I click Enter, the application will automatically load…

47:29…and we've preconfigured the application out of the box to automatically be hooked up to sample data from ArcGIS Online…

47:36…and some sample servers from Esri. And now I can quickly use it.

47:40I have a widget already open to find an address…

47:43…and we have it open by default because we've found that most people want to find an address…

47:47…but then again, we're in beta; we can change it. My zoom slider bar, I can zoom in, I can pan around…

47:54…it's very responsive, very fast; these are grabbing basemaps from arcgis.com.

47:58Notice as I zoom out, the scale bar in the lower left-hand corner will change dynamically, giving me a map scale.

48:04And in the lower right-hand I have my overview map, so I have this little red box, which again is dynamic…

48:10…and I can move around, and zoom into places.

48:15I want to give you a quick tour of some of the widgets that we've enabled out of the box by default.

48:20So let me close this Overview map widget. In the upper right-hand corner, I have what's called the Map Switcher.

48:25As the name would imply, it allows me to switch between basemaps.

48:29So right now I have streets data, I can click on the aerial button, to show some raster imagery, and I can zoom out.

48:36I also have a topo button to access a wonderful topo map from ArcGIS Online.

48:42So the Map Switcher allows us to switch between basemaps.

48:46The More button allows me to view some operational layers, which I'll show you in a minute.

48:51But what I'm going to do is a quick preview through the different widgets that are already preloaded in my widget tray.

48:58So first, I have the Bookmark widget, and as the name would imply…

49:01…it allows me to go to various locations that have been pre-bookmarked.

49:04They've been chosen at random by the development team, there's no order or hierarchy.

49:10One that I want to show is Los Angeles, because we live near there…

49:14…but also because this is where my operational layers are showing.

49:17So I can click on my Fires operational layer, and if I zoom out a little bit, you'll see that my fire map symbology data shows up.

49:27I can also active my Boundaries and Places layer, and if I zoom up some more you'll see the state breakdown of the United States.

49:39Let me turn off that Fires layer. There we go. So you can see the different names.

49:45Now some of you may be wondering why, hmm, Louisville, Kentucky; why did they bookmark that?

49:50Anyone from there? Hey, cool, there you go, claim to fame.

49:54We bookmarked Louisville, Kentucky, because the city was gracious enough to share with us some sample data.

49:59So we've pre-hooked up some widgets to illustrate that you can use that functionality with the Louisville, Kentucky, data.

50:06One of the widgets I want show is this one called the Query widget.

50:09So we've preconfigured this Query widget to find the different police stations in the city of Louisville.

50:14So it's automatically running, and here we go; out of the box, I have my police stations in the city.

50:22Another very cool widget that we've pre-hooked up to data from Louisville is this Search widget.

50:27So you can see when I open up the widget I can find some parcels, right? So the Louisville parcels.

50:33I'll use this polygon tool, and I'll quickly highlight and query in this area for any parcels from that feature class.

50:39And I can zoom in, and you can see now as I hover my cursor, I got information about those different land parcels.

50:51Some pretty cool stuff. Again, I can minimize my widgets, and they're free form, I can leave them floating if I want.

50:58There are configuration properties to make them stack up horizontally or vertically.

51:02It's completely flexible. Let me just close these.

51:10Another cool widget that we've enabled out of the box is this Draw widget, so I can draw some simple graphics on my map display.

51:17So what I'm going to do is I'm going to call this, Study Area, I'll change the color to a bright orange so everyone can see…

51:27…and the font size, I'll bump it up.

51:29Now with some feature creation tools, I can quickly draw a polygon…

51:38…and if I want I can add that text, all available out of the box.

51:44We have a Print widget, and we have another one called the GeoRSS widget.

51:49In this example, we have this widget set up to a GeoRSS feed from the USGS for different earthquakes…

51:55…continuing along that earthquake theme. So what I can do then is quickly click on one of these records, and it shows me…

52:02…let me zoom out a bit, where earthquakes are around the world.

52:08So here we have a whole bunch. I can click the one by Chile, and if I want to find out more information…

52:15…I can click on this little arrow to open up the USGS web page to show me more information about that earthquake.

52:22I actually talked to a customer yesterday and he gave me a very cool example of setting up this widget to vehicles moving…

52:30…so they can track vehicle locations.

52:32It's not live real time, but the widget will refresh every couple of minutes to grab and query that location. So pretty cool stuff.

52:42One more widget I want to show you that's available out of the box is this, Find an Address.

52:47So again, it loads up by default and no demo would be complete without this address.

52:54I'm sure some of you may be familiar with this, 380 New York Street, Redlands, California 92373…

53:06…and I can locate it and we have a very lovely topo map that shows you a map of the Esri campus.

53:13And as an FYI, the three of us all work in building MA right here.

53:20One more widget I want to quickly show, we did not enable it with the sample viewer because of the data, is this Edit widget.

53:29So we just released this on Friday. So I'm clicking on samples from the Resource Center.

53:34I'm going to click See It in Action. Okay, they forgot to clean up the service last night. That's okay.

53:45Basically, we just added this, and as Jeremy kind of mentioned in his demo, we've added these new web editing capabilities…

53:52…so you can grab data from a geodatabase, and with this out-of-the-box tool…

53:56…hook it up to your service to enable feature editing with a feature service.

54:01It's based on the feature template model so I can quickly click a feature, select what I want to add, click it on the map…

54:09…the attributes dialog will appear; notice we honor subtypes and domains, so those constraints that are preset in the geodatabase.

54:18I can pick a date; I'll pick today, and I'll type in a description, fight, it's a civil disturbance, and I can click OK to add it.

54:28And now when I click on it again, I can edit the attributes.

54:31We also give you the option to add attachments, so I can add PDFs, or pictures, whatever I want.

54:37And again, the cool thing is this is all available out of the box; all I have to do is hook it up to my service.

54:53Okay, so I showed you how you could use it out of the box…

54:57…and I gave the five-cent tour over some widgets that already enabled by default.

55:01This may change, we may enable more, may enable fewer; we're still not sure yet because we're still in beta.

55:07The other key thing is that you can take this out-of-the-box application and change it.

55:11You can change the appearance, you can change the data that you're looking at…

55:14…and you can change the functionality without having to do programming. And this is all possible with configurable XML files.

55:21And I'm going to show this to you in a minute.

55:23The other thing to be aware of is, functionality is all based on widgets, little chunks of code.

55:30Think of it like LEGO. I take these different pieces of LEGO and I build my web mapping application, I build my final product.

55:37And it's important to be aware that every single widget consists of two key files, a configurable XML file…

55:43…and also a SWF file or a compiled Flash file.

55:48So a quick slide on some of the core widgets that we're planning to ship with final, and I've demoed some of them for you…

55:55…the Bookmark widget.

55:56I did not show the Data Extract widget, but this allows you to basically define an area, clip that data, and download it locally.

56:03Again, available out of the box, all you have to do is hook up your services, Draw widget, Edit widget I showed you…

56:09…GeoRSS, we also have a Layer List widget.

56:13Think of that More button as its own widget, so you can turn on and off multiple dynamic layers if you wanted to.

56:21Print widget, Search Time slider, if you time-enabled data, and I have a few widgets that are highlighted in orange text.

56:30The reason why these are highlighted is because these widgets form part of the user interface, and you saw that earlier, right?

56:37We have our Map Switcher widget, our Overview map, and that Splash Screen widget, which I did not demo.

56:42So again, think of it like LEGO. I can have this functionality inside that widget tray, or I can have it part of the UI…

56:49…and I'm going to show you how to do that in the next demo, or where they are in the next demo.

56:55Two other key widgets to be aware of that define the look and feel of the application.

57:00One is called the Header Controller widget, and this defines that black bar at the top of the application.

57:06For those of you who have used the sample Flex viewer, we also have a widget called Classic Controller…

57:11…which allows you to keep that classic look, all the tools are collected and that overhead bar in the upper left-hand corner…

57:17…and if you hover over an icon, we have some drop-down menus for some of the functionality.

57:23Now if I want to configure the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex, what do I do?

57:28As I mentioned, you do not need to be a programmer.

57:31You simply edit XML files. And I'm going to demo this to you in the next demonstration.

57:37If you can edit HTML, you can configure the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex. Believe me, I am not a developer and I can do it.

57:44It's really, really easy, and I can change how it looks in terms of the application itself.

57:49I can change the widgets that are available, the functionality, and also the data content.

57:55So before I go into my demo, I want to throw up this concepts slide of the config.xml file.

58:03And what I wanted to kind of illustrate is…

58:04…these are the general sections or areas of that XML configuration file which I'll demonstrate for you.

58:10So at the top of the XML file, we have some general properties that I can change.

58:15This is followed by elements that form the user interface.

58:20This is also followed by properties of the map, so what data I'm going to show…

58:24…and then in the last part of the configured XML file…

58:27… is the widget container, which defines all the widgets, all those controls inside that widget tray at the top of my application.

58:36Okay, let's go on to a demo.

58:40So right now I'm in Windows Explorer and I'm looking at the Flex viewer folder that you saw me download and what's inside it.

58:49As I mentioned, we have two folders; one is called Assets. This contains various icons that are used in the application…

58:56…[and] one is called Widgets.

58:58If I double-click on it, you can see there's a whole bunch of subfolders, and each one of those folders is that…

59:04…loosely, in quotes, "piece of LEGO."

59:06Each one of those subfolders represents a widget that I can use for my application, right?

59:12As I mentioned, if I open up the Bookmark widget, notice, it's got two pieces.

59:16One is my configuration file, one is my compiled code, right?

59:21The other thing I want to highlight, immediately off of my Flex viewer folder, I have this config.xml file.

59:28As I mentioned earlier, this is that master control file that basically allows me to set my settings for my applications.

59:34So what I'm going to do, I'm going to minimize this now, and I'm going into application called TextPad.

59:40The beauty about TextPad? It's a very simple XML editor, available free. I'm all about getting free stuff.

59:46So I'm going to go to File, and I'm going to open that config.xml file, okay?

59:51Now think back to that concept diagram as I go through this file.

59:56At the very beginning, we have some general properties about the application, such as the title, subtitle, the logo, and the style sheet…

1:00:03…its appearance. This is followed by UI elements, and if I hide this section, you can see…

1:00:10…I have three different widgets subtext, three different pieces of LEGO that form my user interface.

1:00:15What do I have? I have my Map Switcher. If you'll recall, that's the three buttons in the upper right-hand corner of my application.

1:00:23I then have my Header Controller widget, which is that black bar that forms the top part of my application…

1:00:30…followed by the Overview Map widget.

1:00:32Each one of these tags simply references that LEGO, that SWF file for that widget.

1:00:39In the third part of my configuration file, I have my map tag.

1:00:44This contains all the information that I'm going to see, all the data contents from my application.

1:00:48I have my default map extent, so what it's going to display by default, followed by two key concepts that Jeremy talked about earlier…

1:00:57…basemaps, the data layers that will form the lower part of my application, right?

1:01:02Notice, I have three map services. Each one of these map services corresponds to a button in that Map Switcher widget.

1:01:10So I have streets, I have aerial, and I have topo.

1:01:16After my basemaps, I have my operational layers, those dynamic layers that will appear on top of my basemap data.

1:01:23And again, you saw this earlier, I have Fires and I have Boundaries and Places.

1:01:29And finally, at the end of my config.xml file, is my widget container.

1:01:35This is the container that stores all my little buttons inside my widget tray at the top of the application.

1:01:40And again, each one of these widget tags contains the functionality for each control in that widget container.

1:01:47So again, like LEGO, that's the end of the file.

1:01:50Now to prove to you it is really easy to customize and configure this application…

1:01:55…what I'm going to do is make some minor changes.

1:01:57I will edit the title. Let me just show you real quick.

1:02:04Remember, it says ArcGIS Viewer for Flex using ArcGIS, right, and it's black.

1:02:10What I'm going to do now is make a minor change and I'll call it UC Demo, and I will put a subtitle, Technical Workshop…

1:02:25…and I'm going to change the style sheet. Instead of calling it Black Gold values, something called Lighter Side.

1:02:31I'll save my edits. It's that easy. And what I'm going to do is just open it in Firefox because my browser will probably be cached…

1:02:42…then go to Tools, clear recent history, clear now, and I'll type in that URL, http…

1:02:50…localhost/ucdemo/flexviewer.

1:03:00It's going to load up now, and look at that, it is that easy.

1:03:02I've changed how it looks; I've changed the title; I've changed the subtitle. I'm going to take it a bit further.

1:03:07If I've called it UC Demo, I think it would nice if I could have it zoom in to the User Conference center, right?

1:03:14So I'm going to do that next. So what I can do, I want to edit this map extent property.

1:03:24I want to redefine the minimum x and y bounding box coordinates.

1:03:28And we have a little applet available to you that will make your life very easy.

1:03:33So what I'm going to do is…Is it this page? No.

1:03:38I'm going to go back to the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex Resource Center, and if I click on the Concepts tab…

1:03:44…you'll see we have help documentation for this product. And again, we are in beta.

1:03:50But very useful, we have an Overview page, which talks about the product and tells you what you can do.

1:03:56We have a Getting Started page…

1:03:58…which holds your hand and shows you step by step what the product is and how to make some quick changes…

1:04:04…and also some comments about the structure, and we also have a list of all the different core widgets.

1:04:09So you can click on those links to learn more about the Edit widget.

1:04:13Notice now from an end-user perspective, we talk about what the widget does, and more importantly…

1:04:18…at the end, we have information about its configuration file.

1:04:22If I want to change the Edit widget, what are the different properties in the XML file…

1:04:26…and what are the different values that I can change?

1:04:30The other thing is, under configuration files, we have this Extent Helper page.

1:04:35It's a little application written by the development team - very, very cool.

1:04:38It allows me to quickly and easily find minimum and maximum x and y bounding box coordinates to reset my map extent.

1:04:47So I'm going to zoom to Southern California, zoom some more into the Conference Center; here's that Conference Center.

1:05:08Notice at the top of my page, I have this map tag with my minimum and maximum x and y coordinates.

1:05:15I simply copy it, I'll go back to TextPad, and I will paste those values, save my configuration file; I will go back to Firefox…

1:05:30…I'm going to clear my cache again, and now I'll retype in the URL to access my Flex viewer…

1:05:40…localhost/ucdemo/flexviewer.

1:05:49Now it's going to load, and here we go. I've reset my map extent. Honestly, it is literally that easy.

1:05:55Now, I'm going to show two more things. Maybe I might find this widget automatically loading annoying…

1:06:01…and I'd like for it to load without it opening up. I'm going to show you how to change that.

1:06:06Also, by default, we enable two widgets, one called Louisville Police, one called Search.

1:06:11They're very useful, but we've hooked them up to some sample data to show you how it works.

1:06:15I'm going to remove those widgets entirely from the interface, and it's really, really easy.

1:06:19Let me go back to the configuration file now. I will scroll down to my widget section, right?

1:06:27I had one tool called Find an Address, one widget, and all I have to do is delete this property called Preload.

1:06:33I'm going to delete that. So now when it loads, it won't even preload.

1:06:38The other thing is, I'm going to remove two widgets, the Louisville Police widget and the Search widget…

1:06:42…so I'm simply going to add a comment tag, and I will go down to Search and take it out down here.

1:06:55That's it. Two pieces, open the comment line, close the comment line.

1:07:00I'll save this configuration file, I'll go back to Firefox, clear the cache again.

1:07:14Notice, now it loads, that widget is gone and those two other widgets are gone. Again, I am not a developer. It is that easy. Okay.

1:07:27He's not a comedian either.

1:07:31Ouch! Ouch!

1:07:33Alright, so to summarize, ArcGIS Viewer for Flex, it is different from the other two viewers…

1:07:39…because this is something you download, you enable it and serve it out on your own web server.

1:07:44Easily configurable as you saw, targeted toward nondevelopers, and we anticipate two main groups really.

1:07:52You can configure it as I showed you, by simply editing those XML files, and the analogy I used is like LEGO functionality…

1:07:59…you add or remove those widgets, right.

1:08:02Or you could be a developer, so if you want to write some custom functionality and extend this application, it's totally doable.

1:08:09You can program with the ArcGIS API for Flex.

1:08:13So to summarize, at the ArcGIS 10 release, we have three different out-of-the-box, ready-to-deploy options for you.

1:08:21We make it easy for you to get your map data on the web, which is very, very cool.

1:08:26We have two hosted web applications on arcgis.com, the arcgis.com viewer that Jeremy showed you…

1:08:33…and also ArcGIS Explorer Online that Bernie showed you…

1:08:36…and then I showed you the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 2.0, which is currently in beta…

1:08:40…all of them available from arcgis.com at our Resource Centers.

1:08:44Thank you, guys, very much. Please fill out the survey…

1:08:48…and we hope you enjoy the rest of your conference.

1:08:50If you have any questions, we’ll make ourselves available to you.
