Arcadia Enterprise enables you to externalize an app by launching it.
Navigate to the app you plan to launch.
We are using the app Exploring National Parks, developed through Rearranging Tabs.
In the top navigation bar of App Designer, click Launch App.
A new tab appears in your browser window.
Open it to see the standalone application you just created. In the Windows tab of your
browser, note the title of the app.
Note the following features of the standalone application, which opened on the dashboard
Map of National Parks, in the first sheet (Map of Parks):
The tabs across the top correspond to the names of the apps you defined in the App
Designer. The sub-menus correspond to the names of the dashboards; they appear only when
there is more than one dashboard in each tab.
The tabs at the bottom correspond to the individual sheets in each dashboard. They
appear only if the dashboard has two or more sheets.
The (filter) icon at the
top-right corner correspond to the same navigation elements as you would see in a
dashboard, Current Parameters.
The Back navigation icon, , moves the dashboard backward to the previous parameter
state. You can also use the shortcut keys CTRL + B.
The Forward navigation icon, , moves the dashboard backward to the next parameter state.
You can also use the shortcut keys CTRL + F.
The Reset navigation icon, , resets the parameters to the original state of the dashboard.
You can also use the shortcut keys CTRL + R.
The Supplemental menu, marked with the (ellipsis)
icon, has additional options, such as Get
URL. It shows the specific URL address that you can copy and share with
others. Pasting this URL into a browser brings up the identical app, opens at the very
same visual or dashboard, with specified parameters.

Similarly, you can click the

The zoom in - zoom out control is part of the control mechanism for this particular
visual type, interactive
maps.
Lastly, note that the externalized application is fully interactive.
