ArcGIS Enterprise is designed to expand the use of maps and GIS applications within organizations. The following is a sample of the many clients you can implement to help people in your organization interact with maps and other items in your ArcGIS Enterprise portal.
Configurable apps and app builders
Configurable apps and app builders enable you to share your web maps through modern and responsive web apps within or outside of your organization. These apps provide flexibility and are appropriate for nondevelopers, as they do not require coding to use. They include options such as AppStudio for ArcGIS, Web AppBuilder, and Configurable application templates, which are available within ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Online and are starting points to build custom web apps without writing a single line of code.
AppStudio for ArcGIS
AppStudio for ArcGIS includes configurable app templates you can use to deploy existing web maps, map tools, and feature services as applications that run on any device.
AppStudio for ArcGIS also includes AppStudio Player—a utility that allows you to easily share apps within your organization.
You can provision AppStudio for ArcGIS Standard licenses through ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5 and later.
The following matrix indicates version support between AppStudio for ArcGIS and ArcGIS Enterprise:
