Each configurable app in the\u00a0configurable apps gallery<\/a> supports a unique set of tools. You can download the source code for each configurable app to customize which tools are available. After you host your custom template on your web server, you can add that modified version to you organization\u2019s gallery so it is easy for members of your organization to use. Here are the steps you can follow to add the print widget to the Simple Map Viewer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Download the\u00a0source code<\/a> from GitHub.<\/p>\n

2. Add the div tags to the file index.html.<\/p>\n

a. Create a print button inside a container to place it in.<\/p>\n

45\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <div id=\"mapDiv\" dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n46\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <div id=\"printContainer\">\n47\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <div id=\"printDiv\"><\/div>\n48\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/div>\n49\u00a0\u00a0 <\/div><\/pre>\n
3. Add the source reference to the print module in main.js.<\/p>\n
a. Insert \u201cesri\/dijit\/Print\u201d in the first line.<\/p>\n
1    define([\"dojo\/ready\"... \"esri\/layers\/FeatureLayer\", \"esri\/dijit\/Print\"<\/strong>], function (<\/pre>\n
b. Insert Print in the second line in the corresponding order you used in the first line. See more about AMD modules in this post<\/a>.<\/p>\n
2    ready... FeatureLayer, Print<\/strong>) {<\/pre>\n
4. Instantiate the print widget, specify the div id, and associate it with your map.<\/p>\n
a. The print widget, like many other widgets, relies on the map being loaded. The _mapLoaded method will run after the map has been made, making a good place to instantiate print.<\/p>\n

a. See this help doc<\/a> for information adding parameters to configurable templates.<\/p>\n
b. The code above will produce the following section of the configuration panel:<\/p>\n
\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Now you are ready to deploy this app to your ArcGIS Online account as a configurable app and add it to your gallery. Do so by following these steps:<\/p>\n
1. Click add item on the My Content page.<\/p>\n
2. Give the address to the index.html file of your app hosted in your web server.<\/p>\n
3. Select Configurable as the purpose.<\/p>\n
4. Copy the code from configurationPanel.js to the configuration parameters section of the item details of your app.<\/p>\n
5. Create a group and add the app that you have created.<\/p>\n
6. Click the My Organization link at the top of the page.<\/p>\n
7. Check that you are an administrator of your organization.<\/p>\n
8. Click Edit Settings.<\/p>\n
9. Click the Maps tab.<\/p>\n
10. Choose the group you created in step 5 under Web App Templates.<\/p>\n
11. Your application template will now be in the gallery of configurable apps for members of your organization.<\/p>\n
a. The application will only be available to users with access to your web server. If you want people outside of your server to have access, attach the code as a zip file from the item details page of the application.<\/p>\n
Here is what a map looks like with my version of the Simple Map Viewer:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Here is a link to the item details page where you can download the code: http:\/\/www.arcgis.com\/home\/item.html?id=6d41153556084d75a64dc8509dd4bd8e<\/a><\/p>\n
I choose to add print to the Simple Map Viewer. However, you could add any widget to any template that you want. Start by looking at their API reference pages for some of the most popular widgets:<\/p>\n
Search<\/a>, Home<\/a>, Locate<\/a>, BasemapGallery<\/a>, BasemapToggle<\/a>, LayerList<\/a>, Legend<\/a>, Scalebar<\/a><\/p>\n
