Towards A Serverless Query Layer
During the 2026 Esri User Conference we heard from several people they would like zero-copy external data integration. That means live data delivered on demand into ArcGIS without being written to an ETL copy, and ideally also without any intermediate server. This is a step beyond data virtualization, where a cache might…

Antipodes for Learners
When teaching with antipodes, consider these quick possibilities for fun, engaging learning: * Test the "dig to China" myth often uttered in the United States.

Browser back and forward buttons don't work for forum and thread pagination
On the new forum, when I switch from page 1 to page 2 on a forum thread list, then press Back in my browser (or the button on my mouse), nothing happens. I find the same issue on long forum threads, however not all the time. Sometimes it switches from "All replies" to "Accepted reply" when navigating just back and forward,…

For example if I have one creator and one professional and no free user types at all, right now I can't just switch the user types for thoose two users. It seems to be possible with transfer member, but then I…

Stop forcing coordinate systems
Sitescan is currently forcing users into using "correct" coordinate systems. This becomes an issue when we need the flights to be processed with an adjacent coordinate system, by request from the project/client. For example, in Norway the official UTM sones are 32 - 35 although the country spans the UTM sones 31 - 36. This…

model ecotopes in peatlands?
Hello, is it possible to model ecotope in rewetting peatland areas? What I want to predict is approximately the vegetation change when I close draining ditches. So I calculated "sinks" with the fill tool on a dem to get open water areas, then I use flow accumulation with the MFD option as "profile flow" values before and…

Allow Customization of Metadata Forms in ArcGIS Pro and Portal
Metadata editing would be much easier for our publishers if we could remove the fields they don't need to worry about from the UI. It would be even better if we could arrange the fields in a way that makes more sense to the users. Right now, the structure seems to depend on the technical implementation of the standard…

Generate report in the Field App after survey is submitted
A user of mine asked about this today and I figured I'd share. He has a completed survey on his tablet and asked me "Is there a way for me to just email this to myself?", to which I told him "No". That being said, I think that that would be a pretty sweet utility. Idea: I would like the option of generating reports in the…

What are Your ArcGIS Enterprise Best Practices for Incident Management?
Hello, I'm a returning ArcGIS Administrator who has managed my fair few number of incidents. But it has been a couple of years since I was back in the saddle.

ArcPro Enterprise Login Issues
We migrated from Enterprise 10.8.1 to 11.5 recently. We changed the IP for our new webadaptor to reflect the old server to keep the alias naming for our portal.

Use real, semantic links or buttons in Express Map legend
In the Express map blocks, the key/legend uses an unordered list ( ) for the list of clickable locations, which works fine for visual and keyboard navigation. However, the list items (* ) inside it are all assigned the button role (role="button"), which is not valid HTML—and it's a WCAG 2.1 violation that results in screen…

Calcite Date Picker Year Dropdown
Hi. For the calcite date picker component (calcite-input-date-picker), the year is a text input control. I'd like to request that a new property be added to the component that would make the year input display as a dropdown (best to allow text input and dropdown picker). It's not very user friendly to switch back and forth…

2FA Time Interval
Can we have a setting for the 2FA administration for a Time Interval? I would like to be able to follow our organization's policy to have our users reauthenticate after a specific interval. The "Keep me signed in" checkbox doesn't always work and it's frustrating to have to authenticate every time.

Printing falls into an awkward gap between Instant Apps and Experience Builder
TL;DR: Improve the standard Experience Builder Print widget so users can select a portrait or landscape layout, draw or adjust the print extent, enter a filename, and download the PDF using that actual filename. I am trying to create what seems like a fairly straightforward printing workflow for staff: * Choose a portrait…

Sort comments by Oldest by default?
I'm finding the new default behaviour of putting newest comments on a post at the top confusing. It's cool that we can change the sort order, but is there any way to make my choice the default?
