Hi. For a list widget, when configuring actions that apply to the map, there are some limitations: 1) There is no capability to highlight features. Flash is the only thing close, and it's not ideal, since it is temporary, and may be an accessibility issue (might trigger seizures). Also, there appears to be no way to specify the color used to flash a feature. 2) Zoom - allow author of app to specify zoom level for polygon and line features. By default, the app zooms too close, especially for small features. The end user would then need to zoom out manually in order to get the location context. 3) Zooming is a bit disorienting, again especially for smaller features where the map zooms to a large scale. What I'm seeing is the map zooms in and initially, the symbol of the feature covers the entire screen briefly. So, for instance, I'm zooming to a blue point and as the map zooms in, the entire frame of the map turns blue, for about a second, before rendering the map. Nice if this were a bit smoother. ...

Hi. We tend to build web mapping apps in dev or test and then migrate to production. One part of that migration is updating the layers in the webmap so that they are using the proper map/feature service according to the environment. Assuming the layers are referenced via the service url, this task is fairly easy. Our dev, test and prod services follow the same pattern, so I can use ArcGIS Online to do a search and replace, something like below: dev: https://web-dev.domain.com/ext/rest/services/.... test: https://web-test.domain.com/ext/rest/services/.... This is especially useful for webmaps that have a lot of layers or complicated configurations of labels, popups, arcade expressions, etc. Now, the problem. I'm creating a new webmap in dev but saving each feature layer as an item. Doing this mainly because we can store credentials for secured services with the item, thus eliminating the need for staff to sign in to the secured service (also, it seems Esri is recommending this pattern, as a better approach to creatign webmaps - I saw this I think in a blog post, but not finding it now). So far, so good, but when it comes to updating the test webmap, the AGOL Assistant 'Update URLs of a Webmap...' tool can't be used because the webmap now references a bunch of items, each with it's own random alpha-numeric item id. Since there is not pattern to these IDs, there is no easy way to automate updates\migrations between environments (no search and replace capability).   Looking for recommendations. We do subscribe to Geo Jobe Admin tools, which has a bunch of tools for managing portals, but not really finding a good work flow with that option. Perhaps there are options with arcgis api for python? Thanks         So, let's say I have my dev webmap, referencing a dev map service and I'm ready to create the test version, ... View more

Hi. I'm wondering about limits on number of items in a list for geotagging and geo searching. Is there a maximum number of list items supported? Is there a likelihood of performance degradation with larger lists.  The list of interest is approaching 5k and would be expected to grow larger, over time.  On a similar note, are there documented or practical limits on the size of documents that can be geotagged or searched? Thanks ... View more

Hi. I'm running into an issue with Pro, where it changes field properties for numeric field types. In the SDE (sql server) table, the field has a scale setting of 10. This indicates that 10 decimal places should be shown after the decimal. Actually, it's a spatial view, but the view properties show scale setting of 10, and 10 digits are shown when previewing the data.   When I add that view to Pro, the scale is shown as 8.  And when I publish it as a map service, only 8 places after the decimal are shown The upshot is that I can't display the data properly in my web app.  One may ask why do we need to show 10 decimal places. Normally, it would not be an issue, but this is an app for professional land surveyors and for that audience it's significant to drop 2 decimal places. Also, I'd like to avoid converting the field to text as a work-around. Thanks in advance for any solutions to this issue.         ... View more

Hi. In the ExB docs, there are detailed instructions for configuring and using the widget, which is great. What I'd like to see is a link to an example app that demonstrates the common use case(s) for each widget. Probably not needed for some of the simpler ones. It would be really useful for more involved widgets like edit, filter and so forth to have an easy way to see it in action and assess if the widget meets our criteria. This could save a lot of time for the user community. Thanks ... View more
