Installing and Configuring ArcFM Web XI

Installation

VertiGIS Studio Web can be accessed in two ways; directly from the VertiGIS website or installed on-premise at your location. VertiGIS Studio Web utilizes ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS for operation, so the artifacts associated with it reside on your ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS instance. 

Online Access

To access VertiGIS online, perform the following steps:

1. Go to https://apps.geocortex.com.

2. Click the Launch button under VertiGIS Studio Web.

3. You then need to log in with either valid ArcGIS Online, Portal for ArcGIS credentials, or your VertiGIS organization subdomain, if you have one.

   

4. Once successfully logged in, you are presented with the VertiGIS Studio Web Designer page. 

5. From here, you can access an existing template, or you can create a new one.
