When we discuss visitor experience it's not only about finding a location but also presenting what other nearby locations/POI that user may be interested in based on the selected location. For example, a user searching for a meeting room may also be interested in the nearest: bathrooms, water fountains, and vending machines. While a user searching for an ATM may be interested in the nearest: Restaurants, Gift Shops, or parking lots. When the user searches for an POI or choses a location on the map, the item panel (right-side) opens to display the room/POI information. In the panel, a "Nearby" list will display category items that the user can click on to zoom to or get directions to. Indoors authors will configure the panel to show certain categories based on a set expressions. For example, Expression 1: From Layer "Units" Field="RoomType" Value="Conference Room" then show category A, B, C in Nearby list. Expression 2: From Layer "ATM" Field="None" Value="None" then show category C, D, E in Nearby list. Additional parameters: - set number of categories - set number of item per category - enable nearby list when user clicks map location with no features --- a single expression used for any user click that only returns coordinates (no features are selected; commonly exterior) The Nearby list will show the nearest 3 items from categories pre-defined by the authors with a link in each category section to "Explore more" that would open the Explore panel and to the specific category. NEARBY Bathrooms (Explore more) - 101 - 102 - 103 Water Fountains (Explore more) - 105 - 110 - 115 Vending Machines (Explore more) - 120 - 140 - 160   ... View more

When a user chooses a room from search or clicking on the map the walk times shown in the Explore panel are from the users 'Home' location. The Explore panel should either automatically calculate the walk time from the selected room/location in the map, or present the user the option to choose the selected room/location as the walk-time calculation. When searching for a meeting room that the user will be attending later in the day and the user wants to see the nearest bathrooms, the user must set the meeting room as their home location in order to have walk times reflect the new Home location. This is not intuitive and requires an additional click by the user. ... View more

When a user sets their "Home" location, the Explore category items will show a walk time to that asset from the Home location. There is no text, or symbol, to denote that those times are from the Home location. The lack of text or home symbol can be confusing to a user who is searching for an asset near a room they clicked on but is not their home location. ... View more

Provide a specific panel (Explore/Events/Directions) for announcements, these could/should include special events but also include building impacts, transportation impacts, construction impacts, etc. driven by other gis layers. Building announcements could be generated by using the user's home location to show "announcements" denoted as being in that building + a buffer of 100 feet to capture exterior impacts/events near the building. There is a need for "system-wide" notifications as well which could be driven by a [NotificationType] field with various levels of "impact": urgent, high, or informational. Type of notification drives formatting of message (for example: red block for urgent, orange for high, gray for informational). Provide a wysiwyg to add a custom "welcome" message and image. ...

Provide the user an option to select an event as a "featured" or "promoted" below the date filter that will display until after the event start date. Special formatting would be welcomed to make the event stand out/highlighted. Another user suggested having an “event of the day” highlighted in the list. A moderation function will need to be implemented to ensure appropriate events can be promoted. ... View more

Users in our pilot had an expectation that the Explore panel List would filter by the map extent of the map viewer, rather than show the full list of features of the dataset. Either adding a option in the Explore panel to filter by map extent (which would filter by the chosen floor, or by the extent if no building/floor is selected), or via Viewer configuration to set the list to filter by extent would provide a more expected user experience. ...

To edit the Indoors Viewer app a user has to open the app item page to access the option to “Edit the Application”. This is not the case for WAB or Instants apps (that allow "Configure App") that allow a user to access the edit/configure. ... View more

Provide a method for Indoor Viewer/mobile authors to use a standard email template when a user chooses to share a location. I would like the email template wysiwyg to include a parameters selector (similar to map pop-up dialogue or dashboard list) to allow the insertion of field values, for example: “I'm sharing this location of {building}, {room_num}. Click <indoors_url> to view within the UCSF's Indoors Viewer.” This will allow organizations to present standard email templates that could align to branding standards or disclaimers. ... View more

I believe, currently, users cannot update their "home" location from within the Indoors apps, the user must clear their browser cache to update/change that location. Enhance the apps to allow the user to change their "home" location from within the app. ... View more

Is there a method for a user who has just submitted a form to then re-use the data to populate a new entry? The desire is to expedite user entry when they need to repeat submissions and the majority of the answers are the same except for the location, which needs to be updated. The preference is for a new record to be created rather than using a repeat (related) record. And this is intended for the web app, not mobile. ... View more

We work with high resolution maps and need end-users to draw precise boundaries and angles in the Survery123 form Geoshape question. The majority of our users are submitting forms from their desktop with a mouse or pen to draw the shapes. Survey123 by default uses the method=sketch, this setting makes the Freehand Area tool a point and drag action by the user, which behaves the same in the field app or browser. Changing the method to "vertex" changes the user action by requiring a point-and-click for each vertex -- but this is only enabled on the field app -- not the browser. I am requesting Survey123 make the method=sketch available to web browser use.  ... View more

AGO and Enterprise, by default, display the owner's username in item pages, item cards, and in pop-ups that show last updated/edited by. I am proposing that there should be an organization setting to control what value of the users profile is displayed. Options could be: Username First/Preferred + Last Name: Jane Doe First letter of First/Preferred Name + Last Name: J. Doe First/Preferred Name + first letter of Last Name: Jane D.   Use cases 1) Security: this allows the org to determine whether the username should be shared which may present a security issue; see https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-ideas/in-agol-content-descriptions-don-t-expose/idi-p/942388 2) Orgs that enable SAML may have accounts created based on employer ID, email address, or other ID, and prefer to see a value such as the members name listed as the item owner which is more readable/recognizable ...
