Rolling out with the latest update to ArcGIS Online, Operations Dashboard includes some updates to the user experience; a number of performance and stability updates and most importantly an all-new extensibility framework for developers!
New Features and Bug Fixes
The What’s New section of the documentation site provides a list of specific issues addressed in this release, however there are a few worth mentioning:
- Operations Dashboard is now in compliance with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)
- Find Place Map tool includes suggestions as you type
- Units of measurement are based upon user profile settings
- Styling improvements to the Feature Details widget and Popups in the Browser app
Opening an operation view, you will notice a few of the UX improvements right away. We have refreshed a lot of the icons throughout the app, you will see an updated experience when adding widgets and most dramatic is the Light and Dark Theme support added in the Browser app.
In the upper right corner of your browser you will find a black (or white) button that will toggle between light and dark themes.
New Extensibility Framework
You can extend the built-in functionality of the Operations Dashboard app with custom widgets, map tools and feature actions. Extending the capabilities of an operation view is a very powerful way to integrate with external systems (like the OSIsoft PI connector) or to provide focused, meaningful analytics (like the ERG Chemical Map Tool). These extensions enhance the Windows app and were developed using the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF.Now you can use the v3.14 release of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript to extend both the Windows and Browser apps! Web developers can write widgets, map tools and feature actions using the JavaScript API and host them as Application Extensions on your web server (please read the Guide section of the JavaScript API developer documentation to get started).
Administrators of an ArcGIS Online subscription can register an operation extension and share it within a group for publishers and users of operation views. Once shared, publishers creating an operation view simply need to tap on Custom in the Add Widget dialog to find and use extensions within their views.
Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS v10.3.1 is available right now. You can update and download the Windows app right now.*Version 3.14 of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript will be updated next week for developers to download and use. Look for updates to this blog article when it’s available for developers to use.
If you use Portal for ArcGIS, we will update the deployment utility later this month on the MyEsri site*however updates to the Browser app and version 3.14 of ArcGIS API for JavaScript will not be available until the 10.4 release of ArcGIS for Server.
