Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the Indoors extension.
Summary
Writes indoor positioning system configuration information to an ArcGIS Indoors geodatabase. The values are used by ArcGIS Indoors for iOS and ArcGIS Indoors for Android.
The tool is only necessary if your organization is using the Indoo.rs positioning system.
Usage
In the IndoorsConfig table, the tool populates the Config Value column with values for the following Config Keys:
- ELSS_API_KEY
- ELSS_ENCRYPTION_KEY
- ELSS_BUILDING_ID
Note:
If these Config Keys do not exist in the table, the tool will add them as new rows.
The ELSS_API_KEY and ELSS_ENCRYPTION_KEY values are encrypted.
The ELSS_ENCRYPTION_KEY can be a string value.
