Map and Scene

The app created by Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS is based on a web map or web scene from ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS. 2D apps are built with web maps and 3D apps are built with web scenes. A web map or web scene usually includes a basemap and operational layers that you want the users to interact with.
