Configure application

The Briefing Book application consumes maps and other interactive content (videos, photos, and written text) that can be used in briefings and reports. You can configure the Briefing Book application and share it with others in your organization. They can then view existing briefings and reports on their tablets and author new ones on their desktop computers.
