Introducing Geovonic Connect’s Hosted ArcGIS Experience Builder

Streamline your Geovonic Connect app development. No downloads, no installs—just effortless creation.

We’re excited to announce that Geovonic Connect now hosts Experience Builder for you, making it even easier to get started integrating ArcGIS Online with your business systems.

You no longer need to download and install the Developer Edition to get started. With Geovonic Connect, building your integrated web apps is faster and easier than ever.

Custom Widgets, Simplified

Geovonic Connect includes a built-in custom widget for Experience Builder, enabling seamless integration with your business systems.

Many ArcGIS Online users are familiar with the hurdles of using custom widgets, which often require finding a server and configuring the Developer Edition. Those days are over.

Geovonic Connect provides a hosted instance of Experience Builder, complete with the Geovonic Connect widget pre-installed, so you can dive right into building apps without the technical headaches.

How It Works

  1. Launch Your Session
    From the Geovonic Connect dashboard, click the Experience Builder tile and hit Start Session. In just a few minutes, your organization’s server will be up and running. Then, click Launch to open Experience Builder.
  2. Sign In to Your ArcGIS Instance
    If it’s your first time, select your ArcGIS site from the drop-down menu and sign in.
  3. Add the Geovonic Connect Widget
    Click Add Widget and scroll down to find the Geovonic Connect widget—pre-installed and ready to enhance your app.

See it in action in this short video.

Flexible Sessions for Continuous Productivity

Each Experience Builder session runs for two hours and automatically hibernates afterward.

Need more time? No problem. Extend your session anytime from the Geovonic Connect console—your work remains safe, even if the session ends.

All your apps are saved in Geovonic Connect, so you can pick up where you left off anytime.

Ready for Production

Whilst Esri has designed Experience Builder Developer Edition for authoring your apps,  the final production-ready apps still need to be exported and hosted on a static web server.

Read more about this on Esri’s help pages.

What’s Next?

We’re working on something exciting. Soon, you’ll be able to host your production-ready apps directly within Geovonic Connect. No web server required.

Our hosted Experience Builder is currently only available for ArcGIS Online users. We’ll be expanding availability to ArcGIS Enterprise users shortly. Keep an eye out on your Geovonic Connect dashboard for the new tile.
