Let's take your scenario one step further: Pam Pipefixer has completed her edits in her version. She is a new employee, so her supervisor wants to review her work before it is posted to DEFAULT. Does Pam's supervisor have to be an Administrator to view her version? Or is there a way to give the supervisor access to the edits without elevating to Administrator?

I'm searching for a user group for people who manage ArcGIS Enterprise and Cityworks integrations. I'd like to compare notes to see where other organization's pain points are and if they have found workarounds or solutions to our various issues.

Are there any user groups or forums for people who have ArcGIS Enterprise and Cityworks? I'm looking to connect with people who are integrating these two products to discuss challenges and solutions.

Thank you, Robert. That was exactly what I needed.

If I need to make a change to the schema of a feature class that participates in a utility network (or trace network): 1. Do I need to disable topology first? 2. Are there any schema changes that would require recreating the utility network? Examples of what I mean by schema changes: I want to add a field to a line feature class that participates in the utility network. The field doesn't factor into any of the rules of the UN - it's just a field to track a URL to a video of the CCTV video for the asset. I want to remove a field from a line feature class that participates in the utility network. The field doesn't factor into any of the rules of the UN. It's a Notes field that we no longer need.

The catch to this is that I have group layers in maps where the sublayers are all turned on, but the group itself is turned off. As an example, I do this with our historic registry properties, which are split into local, state, and national registries. Typically, users don't want to see them on the map, but if they activate the group, I want all of the layers to display. I like this suggestion, though. I wonder if there is a way to enable the action if the sub layer is turned off by default but not auto turn on the group if the sublayers are visible?

On a web map's item page, if you go to Settings > Web Map, there are two checkboxes at the bottom: Use in ArcGIS Collector and Use in ArcGIS Field Maps. (The Collector option has been removed in ArcGIS Online but still exists in Enterprise 11.5) By default, every map created has Use in ArcGIS Field Maps toggled on / checked. I would like a way to change the global setting so that this is toggled off / unchecked by default. Most of the maps we create do not need to be available in Field Maps, and adding them by default creates clutter for users that have limited screen real estate. I can imagine that not everyone would want this to be off by default, so I'd like to see it as an option in Organization > Settings.

Thanks, Ken! Worked perfectly.

I used the code block from this Esri article to pull records from a related table: https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/display-fields-from-a-related-table-in-the-pop-up-windo-000035545 My problem is that one of the fields in the related table has a domain assigned to it, and the Arcade code block is returning the code from the domain table instead of the description. How can I tell it to pull the description? Looking at line 10, related_data_row.field1_table of this: var related_table = FeatureSetByName($datastore, "table"); var filter_query = "field_table= '" + $feature["field_class"] + "'"; var related_data_filtered = Filter(related_table, filter_query); var related_data_filtered_count = Count(related_data_filtered); var output = ""; if (related_data_filtered_count > 0) { output = "Total of " + related_data_filtered_count + " records : "; for (var related_data_row in related_data_filtered) { output += '<br>' + related_data_row.field1_table+ " - " + related_data_row.field2_table; } } else { output = "No Related Records..."; } return { type : 'text', text : output }

As an alternative / complement to Allow attachments table to be included in branch v... - Esri Community, I need the Delete Attachments tool to work on branch versioned data. My goal is to download attachments to a central directory, add a hyperlink to that directory so that the photos can be viewed, and then delete the attachments to dramatically reduce the size of our database and make it possible to share feature classes with significant photo collections via the distributed collaboration. At the moment, we've had to remove all photos of utility assets (e.g. hydrants, manholes, etc) as attachments because the datasets are too large to pass through the distributed collaboration. Beyond that, we strongly prefer to follow SQL Server best practices to not store files inside a database.

For internal workflows, we have gigabytes of utility asset photos in our enterprise data. When we publish user-managed services, we do not explicitly include attachments - they come automatically. That means that if we have more than 1GB of attachments in a service, we are unable to share that service as a copy through the distributed collaboration. We do not need or want the photos to go through the collaboration because our ArcGIS Online organization is for public-facing maps and apps. My idea is to either: Create a way to publish a user-managed service with a registered enterprise geodatabase and explicitly exclude attachments from the service, or Provide a setting in the distributed collaboration that allows us to exclude attachments from copies. Ideally, this option would give the user the option to include/exclude attachments at the service level, but having that setting at the workspace level would be an acceptable alternative as long as a Portal-AGO collaboration can have more than one workspace.

On my Hub site, I have several Category cards that are designed to take you to data that matches the category/categories assigned. As an example, I have a "Basemaps" card configured like this: When the user clicks on that card, it is returning the correct data, but the "historical maps" filter is not capitalized like the other categories are: What drives that display? Is there a way that I can capitalize Historical Maps so that I can match the other categories? I checked my categories in ArcGIS Online and they don't match what I'm seeing in Hub.

For simplicity's sake, here is a generic example: I have a water main feature class. I add it to a map and set a definition query to only show active mains. In the same map, I add the same water main feature class as a separate layer and set a definition query to only show abandoned mains. I publish this map as a feature layer to Portal. In Portal, I share this feature layer with my distributed collaboration so that a copy is made in ArcGIS Online. The layer fails to synchronize because I have two layers referencing the same feature class. My idea is to make a change to distributed collaborations that would allow this service to be shared as a copy to ArcGIS Online, even though both layers are referencing the same enterprise feature class.

@DiveshGoyal - thank you for investigating and finding a fix! This will be a big help to us.
