Registering with ArcGIS Enterprise as a Web AppBuilder Widget

With the release of ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1, Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS supports custom widgets that have been hosted on your server and are registered within ArcGIS Enterprise as Application Extension (AppBuilder) items. To do this follow the steps below:

1. Carry out steps 1 to 4 of the section 'Host a custom widget on a web server' in Add custom widgets. This sets up the pre-requisites for hosting a custom widget. Some may already be enabled, such as anonymous access and HTTPS.
2. Download and unzip the Drilldown zip file, then and copy the Drilldown folder to your web server location (e.g. C:\inetpub\wwwroot).
3. In IIS Manager right click the Drilldown folder and select 'Convert to Application'.
4. Follow steps 1 to 7 of 'Register a custom widget' in Add custom widgets. The URL path to your manifest file will be something like <server.domain.com>/Drilldown/manifest.json.
5. Edit your Web AppBuilder application in ArcGIS Enterprise and select the Drilldown widget from the Custom tab.
6. Configure your Drilldown widget to use a Drilldown Locator Search Source and enter the URL of your locator. Then enter the Geocoder Name, Placeholder Text and Maximum Results and select Locator Type from the list.
