ArcGIS Configurable Apps will be retired in 2025. The ArcGIS Configurable Apps source code repro is deprecated and will not receive further updates. In addition, this repository will be removed in October 2025, along with the October 2025 ArcGIS Online update.
Elevation Profile is a configurable app template used to display the elevation profile for a selected feature or a measured line along with a web map. This template uses the Profile geoprocessing service to generate the elevation values along the profile. View the Profile service developer documentation for additional details.
Use the Elevation Profile to present content from a web map and configure it using the following options.
- Choose the title, description, and color theme.
- Configure a splash screen with customized text that displays when the app is first opened.
- Fully customize the color of the profile widget.
- Capturing URL parameters and using them in your application.
- Specify a custom profile service via URL. By default, this application uses the Elevation Analysis Profile Task to generate elevation values along the profile.
- Enable a basemap gallery, legend, opacity slider, and share dialog.
- Download and unzip the .zip file or clone the repository.
- Web-enable the directory.
- Access the .html page.
- Start writing your template!

- To deploy this application, download the template from Portal/ArcGIS Online and unzip it.
- Copy the unzipped folder containing the web app template files, such as index.html, to your web server. You can rename the folder to change the URL through which users will access the application. By default the URL to the app will be
http://<Your Web Server>/<app folder name>/index.html - Change the sharing host, found in defaults.js inside the config folder for the application, to the sharing URL for ArcGIS Online or Portal. For ArcGIS Online users, keep the default value of www.arcgis.com or specify the name of your organization.
- ArcGIS Online Example:
"sharinghost": location.protocol + "//" + “<your organization name>.maps.arcgis.com - Portal Example where
arcgisis the name of the Web Adaptor:"sharinghost": location.protocol + "//" + "webadaptor.domain.com/arcgis"
- If you are using Portal or a local install of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript, change all references to the ArcGIS API for JavaScript in index.html to refer to your local copy of the API. Search for the references containing
"//js.arcgis.com/3.13"and replace this portion of the reference with the url to your local install.
- For example:
"//webadaptor.domain.com/arcgis/jsapi/jsapi"wherearcgisis the name of your Web Adaptor.
- Copy a map or group ID from Portal/ArcGIS Online and replace the default web map ID in the application’s default.js file. You can now run the application on your web server or customize the application further.
Note: If your application edits features in a feature service, contains secure services or web maps that aren't shared publicly, or generate requests that exceed 200 characters, you may need to set up and use a proxy page. Common situations where you may exceed the URL length are using complex polygons as input to a task or specifying a spatial reference using well-known text (WKT). For details on installing and configuring a proxy page see Using the proxy. If you do not have an Internet connection, you will need to access and deploy the ArcGIS API for JavaScript documentation from developers.arcgis.com.
For additional customization options view the wiki.
- Notepad or HTML editor
- Some background with HTML, CSS and JavaScript
- Experience with the ArcGIS API for JavaScript is helpful.
