Geocortex Viewer for HTML5 1.2 Now Available

February 14th, 2013 by Drew Millen

Product Announcement

The latest release of the Geocortex Viewer for HTML5 features functional enhancements and usability improvements to support mobile use cases and workflows. This release includes:

  • A more user-friendly interface for configuring viewers in Geocortex Essentials Manager, including an “instant preview” function for smartphones and tablets
  • Full support for viewing non-spatial data configured with data links
  • Programmatic commands that support feature highlighting and markup
  • Support for Esri’s ArcGIS API for JavaScript version 3.3
  • Dozens of user experience enhancements
  • New, more efficient offline and synchronization processes:
    • Easily provision an application for offline use
    • Launch the viewer when offline or online
    • A suite of feature editing tools that work online or offline
    • Complete back-office synchronization of data

Please note that the use of tiled basemaps or native device capabilities will require the deployment of a native (i.e., device-specific) application. In the coming months, Latitude Geographics will release the Geocortex App to Apple’s App Store and Google Play, which will enable the Geocortex Viewer for HTML5 to work with larger locally stored basemaps and integrate with device hardware such as a camera.

The Geocortex Viewer for HTML5 1.2 provides a further enriched foundation for Latitude Geographics to accelerate the release of new functionality moving forward; expect numerous feature additions in the months to come.

Please consult the release notes for more detailed information regarding this release. The release may be downloaded by Geocortex licensees with an active maintenance agreement from the Geocortex Support Center. Video recordings describing new features will be available for viewing in the Geocortex Support Center by the end of February. If your account is handled by an authorized Geocortex Reseller, please contact your local representative for access to installers and documentation.

Geocortex Essentials 1.2 Released

December 14th, 2007 by Drew Millen

Geocortex Essentials 1.2 is shipping! We’ve been working on it since June, so we’re pretty pumped it is finally complete and out the door.

From Geocortex Essentials Manager (our GUI-based web app for building ArcGIS Server apps) to a bunch of new features and improvements, the whole company is pretty excited about this release. The Essentials team is keen to enjoy a weekend before the sales team inundates us on Monday with late-stage feature requests they want to see added to the 1.3 workplan “in the spirit of agile development”.

Geocortex Essentials Beta Program Wraps

December 14th, 2007 by Drew Millen

We’re releasing Geocortex Essentials 1.2 later today – I’ll blog about it when I’ve finished cutting it and getting it out the door.

In the meantime, I thought I’d provide some advance information to those who participated in the Geocortex Essentials 1.2 Beta Program.

We had nearly a dozen participants eager to use the early releases of the 1.2 product. Everybody was given a URL to a public Defect Tracker we set up in order to log defects and features. Thanks to everyone who participated. The feedback we received was invaluable, and has definitely made 1.2 a solid release.

During the Beta Program, we held a friendly competition; whoever provided the most valuable feedback would be awarded an 80GB iPod Classic. Yesterday, after careful deliberation, we selected a winner. Congratulations to Michael Goldberg at Edwards Aquifer Authority.

It was a tight race. In fact, it was so close, we felt ethically compelled to create a runner-up prize (another 80GB iPod Classic) because Colby Free at Bexar County, provided such great feedback as well. After all, it’s the holiday season.

Again, thanks to everyone who participated in the Geocortex Essentials 1.2 Beta Program. Your participation made a real difference. Stay tuned for the Geocortex Essentials 1.2 release blog post!

Push-ups

September 18th, 2007 by Drew Millen

We’re releasing a GUI-based application construction/management app as part of Geocortex Essentials 1.2. Analogous in many respects to SiteManager for Geocortex IMF, we’d been planning to call it SiteManager for Geocortex Essentials. We recently decided the name wasn’t suitable because it goes way beyond managing just “sites”. We renamed it Geocortex Essentials Manager.

Everyone at Latitude is having a tough time getting used to calling Geocortex Essentials Manager by its new name (some more than others). To help reeducate people, the development team has instituted a policy whereby anyone who accidentally calls it SiteManager now has to drop to the ground and do five push-ups (which, for computer geeks, is like ten push-ups to an average adult). Yongzhi is doing more push-ups than everyone else at Latitude combined.

Geocortex Essentials Beta Almost Ready

September 7th, 2007 by Drew Millen

We’re wrapping up development on Geocortex Essentials 1.2. Beta 1 should be ready for distribution in a week or so.

Let me know if you want to participate in the Beta Program. Geocortex Essentials Manager is going to make life way easier for a lot of organizations trying to get ArcGIS Server online. Here’s a preview screenshot of the Layer List management component:
