The application is published by moving the application files to a web server, converting them to an application, and defining the application pool using Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). This workflow uses Microsoft IIS 7. If you are using a different version, modify the workflow as necessary. Contact your server administrator for information about setting up the application on a virtual directory, server security, or installing and configuring ASP.NET.

To publish Briefing Book as an application, complete the following steps:

1. Using Windows Explorer, browse to the BriefingBook\Proxy folder and open the proxy.config file in Microsoft Notepad or another text editor. Enter the URL for your ArcGIS Online organization and Portal for ArcGIS site, for example https://<myOrg>.maps.arcgis.com/, then save the file and exit.
