Geocortex workflows run in host applications. You can use the following types of applications to host workflows:
Geocortex Web 5.0+
Geocortex Mobile 5.0+
Geocortex Viewer for HTML5 2.9+, with or without the Geocortex Mobile App Framework. For information, see Geocortex Viewer for HTML5.
Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS embedded within the Portal for ArcGIS component of ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1+
To run workflows using Web AppBuilder in Portal for ArcGIS 10.5.1, users must sign in to the app. The app will not load the Workflow widgets for anonymous users.
Starting in Web AppBuilder in Portal for ArcGIS 10.6, anonymous users can use publicly shared Workflow widgets in public apps. For more information, see Add Custom Widgets.
Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) 2.4+
You can download Web AppBuilder (Developer Edition) here for free. Follow the instructions to install it.
To run workflows, the browser should meet the host application's browser requirements:
Geocortex Web: To run workflows using Geocortex Web, the browser should meet the requirements for Geocortex Web.
Geocortex Mobile: To run workflows using Geocortex Mobile, the browser should meet the requirements for Geocortex Mobile.
Geocortex Viewer for HTML5: To run workflows using the Geocortex Viewer for HTML5 (with or without the Geocortex Mobile App Framework), the browser should meet the requirements for the Geocortex Viewer for HTML5.
Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS in Portal for ArcGIS: To run workflows using Web AppBuilder in Portal for ArcGIS, the browser should meet the requirements for Web AppBuilder in Portal for ArcGIS.
Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition): To run workflows using Web AppBuilder (Developer Edition), the browser should meet the requirements for Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition).
Geocortex Workflow Designer runs in a desktop environment. We support the following browsers:
Geocortex Workflow works with Portal for ArcGIS 10.5+.
You can use Portal for ArcGI 10.5 to access Workflow Designer and store workflows. However, you cannot host workflows in Web AppBuilder in Portal for ArcGIS 10.5 apps, because version 10.5 did not support custom widgets. Support for custom widgets started in version 10.5.1.
If Portal for ArcGIS is secured using Windows Integrated Security and anonymous access to the portal is disabled in IIS, you must install the Geocortex Web Adaptor Extensions to allow Geocortex Workflow to communicate with Portal for ArcGIS.
A faster CPU and more memory improve the performance of Geocortex Workflow Server. We recommend that your server surpass the minimum requirements.

On-premises Workflow servers require Windows Server 2012 or newer.
You can use a recent desktop version of Windows, such as Windows 10 or 8.1, for development and basic testing. However, they are not recommended for use in a production environment.
The Workflow server must have a valid SSL certificate and you must enable SSL for the website that you deploy Workflow to. See How to Set up SSL on IIS 7 for information.
On-premises Workflow servers require .NET Framework 4.6.1+.
On-premises Workflow does not expose any ports, so you do not need to adjust your firewall settings. Geocortex Workflow (including Designer) relies on the ports that IIS uses (ports 80 and 443 by default).
By default, ArcGIS portals (including ArcGIS Online) allow cross-domain requests using CORS. If you configure the Organization | Settings | Security | Allow Origins setting in the portal that you use with Geocortex Workflow, then you must add Geocortex Workflow as an allowed origin.
The origin to allow depends on your deployment:
ArcGIS Online with Cloud Workflow: If you use ArcGIS Online with cloud Workflow and your organization has configured the Allow Origins setting in ArcGIS Online, then you must add apps.geocortex.com as an allowed origin.
On-Premises Portal for ArcGIS with Cloud Workflow: If you use an on-premises portal with cloud Workflow and your organization has configured the Allow Origins setting in the portal, then you must add [organization].apps.geocortex.com as an allowed origin, where [organization] is the name you selected for your organization when you registered your portal with apps.geocortex.com.
ArcGIS Online with On-Premises Workflow: If you use ArcGIS Online with on-premises Workflow and your organization has configured the Allow Origins setting in ArcGIS Online, then you must add your Geocortex Workflow server as an allowed origin.
On-Premises Portal for ArcGIS with On-Premises Workflow: If you use an on-premises portal with on-premises Workflow and your organization has configured the Allow Origins setting in your portal, then you must add your Geocortex Workflow server as an allowed origin.
You require an ArcGIS Identity to create and share Geocortex workflows.
Geocortex Workflow is licensed software. If you do not have a valid license, your workflows will show a licensing message when they run.

Licensing is based on the number of ArcGIS identities (named users for ArcGIS Online and Portal for ArcGIS) that your organization has.
