Step-By-Step Instructions

The steps will differ depending on whether you are using ArcGIS Online or Enterprise. Please select the appropriate expandable content arrow that best corresponds to your organization type:

Please Note: This will only need to be completed once, as each of our products can run off of the Application that is created.

    2. Please select the “Other Application” option

    3. You item can be named whatever you would like.

    4. Provide your application with tag names that will assist with locating your application item in the future.

      1. We recommend any product names associated with this item ( i.e. “Admin Tools”, “Backup My Org”, etc.) and “GEO Jobe”. This will help if the item ever needs to be found in the future.

    5. Click “Add Item” when done.

  1. Configure the Redirect URLs:

    1. Finally, you will need to setup the Redirect URLs. You can do this by selecting the “+” icon and adding the redirect. Once completed they will be automatically saved.

    2. The Redirect URLs should be where you are hosting the products in your environment. This is the URL users will go to when accessing your instances of the products.

The Redirect URLs should be where users will navigate to access your versions of GEO Jobe’s software.

Please add the address you will use to access your GEO Jobe products to your Redirect URL list. Ensure that ‘/' is not included at the end of your domain as this could limit the software’s ability to connect to your ArcGIS Organization.

The Redirect URL will need to be exact. If you’re using https instead of http, or a different port, those will need to be included.

  1. Sign into your ArcGIS Organization.

  2. From the “Content” tab, navigate to the "My Content" sub-tab.

Great! You should now have the OAuth App ID and Redirects configuration that is necessary to run our tools.
