Architecture

The VertiGIS Inline application includes the following:

• VertiGIS Inline: an HTML and JavaScript library and user interface that is downloaded to the user’s browser when they open an Inline view.

• VertiGIS Inline view definition file: a JSON configuration file that contains the web map configuration, and the band and chart configuration for the Inline views.

• Web map configuration: a JSON configuration file (included in the view definition file), that references the data sources for Inline and its map component.

• Web map application: an HTML and JavaScript web application used for visualizing and interacting with Inline and its map component. For details on supported applications, see Requirements.

• VertiGIS Inline Designer: an HTML and JavaScript web interface used to create a custom view definition file.

 

You do not need to install anything to use Inline or the Inline Designer. Both run in the browser and are hosted in the VertiGIS Studio cloud environment at apps.vertigisstudio.com.

How Inline Works

When a user opens Inline in a web map application:

1. The Inline static view content (JavaScript library and interface) is delivered from the Internet to the user’s local machine.

2. The web map application opens in the user's web browser, using the locally stored view definition file.

3. From this point forward:

   • All components run on the local machine, on the user's company network.

   • Enterprise data is not sent outside of the company network.

Web Map and View Definition Files

The web map and VertiGIS Inline view definition files are saved in your Esri ArcGIS Enterprise portal, or within your ArcGIS Online organization.

The on-premises ArcGIS Enterprise portal does not require Internet access.

Web Map Applications

VertiGIS Inline views run in the VertiGIS Studio Web. Web can host any view, provided it supports the actions and functions configured in the view. For details, see Supported Browsers and Applications.

 

You can install Web on-premises or in the VertiGIS Studio cloud environment at apps.vertigisstudio.com. The option you choose depends on the application you want to use with Inline. Both options ensure the following:

• You are using a continuously up-to-date instance of Inline.
• All enterprise data remains on-premises or within ArcGIS Online.

The on-premises version of Web does not require Internet access.

Configuration Options

The following architecture diagrams illustrate configuration options:

• All VertiGIS Inline components hosted with ArcGIS Online and in the VertiGIS Studio cloud environment
• Web map and view definition files hosted on premises, in ArcGIS Enterprise portal
