Requirements

Supported Applications

VertiGIS Studio workflows run in host applications. You can use the following types of applications to host workflows:

The server on which VertiGIS Studio Workflow is installed, and on which your workflows are saved, must be accessible to your end users.

Supported Browsers

Workflows

To run workflows, the browser should meet the host application's browser requirements:

VertiGIS Studio Workflow Designer

VertiGIS Studio Workflow Designer runs in a desktop environment. We support the following browsers:

Workflow Designer requires a 64-bit browser.

Network Requirements

At this time, clients require an internet connection to access the on-premises version of Workflow Designer.

Cookie Requirements

VertiGIS Studio Workflow does not use cookies.

Supported ArcGIS Software

VertiGIS Studio Workflow works with ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1 or later.

If Portal for ArcGIS is secured using Windows Integrated Security and anonymous access to the portal is disabled in IIS, you must install the VertiGIS Studio Web Adaptor Extensions to allow VertiGIS Studio Workflow to communicate with Portal for ArcGIS.

Web Server Requirements for On-Premises Workflow Servers

VertiGIS Studio Workflow runs on a secure web server. This requires:

.NET Requirements for On-Premises Workflow Servers

VertiGIS Studio Workflow requires the .NET components listed in the table.

.NET Component

Version

Installation Details

.NET Framework

4.8 or later

You must install the .NET Framework before you install VertiGIS Studio Workflow.

.NET 6

VertiGIS Studio Workflow requires .NET 6 that is included in the Workflow installer.
Note that installing .NET 7 or later will not affect Workflow. It will still use .NET 6.

.NET 6 is automatically installed when you install VertiGIS Studio Workflow, so you do not need to install it separately.

Port Requirements

On-premises Workflow does not expose any ports, so you do not need to adjust your firewall settings. VertiGIS Studio Workflow (including Designer) relies on the ports that IIS uses (ports 80 and 443 by default).

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Requirements

By default, ArcGIS portals (including ArcGIS Online) allow cross-domain requests using CORS. If you configure the Organization | Settings | Security | Allow Origins setting in the portal that you use with VertiGIS Studio Workflow, then you must add VertiGIS Studio Workflow as an allowed origin.

The origin to allow depends on your deployment:

ArcGIS Identity

You require an ArcGIS Identity to create and share VertiGIS Studio workflows.

Licensing

VertiGIS Studio Licensing

VertiGIS Studio Workflow is licensed software. If you do not have a valid license, your workflows will show a licensing message when they run.

Esri Licensing

VertiGIS Studio Workflow is designed to consume and display content from a variety of Esri software. The Esri licenses required to author and publish content are available from your Esri distributor.

VertiGIS Studio Workflow uses the modern ArcGIS pattern and ArcGIS identities to author and run workflows. You must have at least a Creator user type (formerly, a Level 2 user) to create workflows. An Esri portal (ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS Enterprise) and ArcGIS identities are available from your Esri distributor.
