Configure application

The Executive Dashboard application can be configured to access maps from your ArcGIS Online group that are accessible to government leaders or decision makers. Government leaders and decision makes can then access the application on their tablets and desktop computers.

To configure the Executive Dashboard application, complete the following steps:

  1. Browse to the URL https://dev.twitter.com/apps and sign in using your Twitter account.
  2. Click the Create a new application button and complete the required fields in the Application Details section to create your Twitter application.
  3. Click the Create my access token button and on the OAuth tool tab, copy the Consumer key, Consumer secret, Access token, and Access token secret values to a text file.
  4. Using Windows Explorer, browse to the Application\ExecutiveDashboard folder and open the proxy.config file in Microsoft Notepad or another text editor. In the applicationSiteURL tags, enter the fully qualified URL for your application.
  5. Copy each of the Twitter values from the text file into the appropriate tags:
