@JCooley_ClackamasSWCD  My understanding is that feature templates are stored on the Feature Service. Thus, they would only need to be authored once and would be available in any map. View layers also inherit feature templates.  You bring up an interesting case when a particular field from the source layer is hidden in the view. Where does the default value come from? I'm not sure, but perhaps the field default as you say. ... View more

The short answer here is: If you want to set the default value for a field, you need to do so on the feature template used to create features. Map viewer classic supported creating and editing feature templates, and now so does Map viewer. Check out this blog post for more information. The long answer is that the default value on a field (stored on the service) has somewhat limited utility because it gets overridden by a subtype default value and feature templates.  Even if we support changing the default value on the field, it doesn't propagate to feature templates. When you add a new feature and use a feature template, the feature template has its own default value. Now, you might think, updating the default value on the field it should also update the default value on the template. We don't do that because you may have explicitly set the default value on the template that's appropriate to the defined feature. I hope this helps.   ... View more

@KFunahashi_SSMMA  Search factors in all item information. Here's a help topic that describes what gets searched.  We don't document what determines a good match, but we also factor in external factors like usage of the item.  If you're just searching "My Content", the item listing by default lists most recently used items first. So likely, your item is near the top of the list already. Another option is to add frequently used items to your favorites, or organize items in folders in My Content. Mike ... View more

@KFunahashi_SSMMA  Where are you executing the search from? Relevance applies when you enter a search term. The results of the search are ordered by relevance, or how closely items match the search term. Items that have more matching factors will appear towards the top of the list. Search takes into consideration all information associated with the item, including title, description, tags and so on. I do notice that we have a minor bug on the Content tab. We are exposing a relevance option in the sorting menu when there is no search term present. I will note this so we can address it in a future update.   ... View more

I believe the student account works the same way as a personal account. So yes you can join organization groups, with some limitations. See post above. ... View more

It may be worth noting that AGOL does support creating feature layer views If you need a different view of the data represented by a single hosted feature layer—for example, you want to apply different editor settings , styles , or filters —create a hosted feature layer view of that hosted feature layer.   ...

What the table is showing in your figure is a related table. To create related tables, you need to use ArcGIS Pro, then publish from Pro to ArcGIS Online. The ArcGIS Online website doesn't allow you to define relationships through the user experience currently. Here's a Pro help topic that explains related tables. Note that the table in Map Viewer doesn't currently support showing related tables. This is something we're working on and will support in a future release. However, both Map Viewer Classic and the item's Data tab both support showing the related tables. Mike ... View more

Hi @Bec  Are you saying that decimal points are somehow being added to your data for a string field? That would be a very weird bug. It's also strange that it's not happening consistently. In the Functional School Zone field, sometimes 99.0 displays and other times, just 99.  Are you showing the exact same data source in Pro and Online? Is that a hosted feature layer? Is it possible that somehow the data was corrupted before publishing to ArcGIS Online? I'd suggest contacting Esri technical support. This is an issue that we'd need to look at the data and understand how it was published to troubleshoot. Mike     ... View more

@DataOfficer  I agree, this would be useful. This information would only show for the item owners and admins. As each layer in the service can have their own query and field visibility, we would need to display this per layer. I'll see what we can do... Mike ... View more

@JenFrazer_USFS_NR-GISS-IRIN  There are two Map Viewer apps: Map Viewer  Map Viewer Classic As an organization administrator, you can configure which app you want to use by default on the Map tab by modifying the organization's settings on the Organization tab. Each member can also configure this through their profile. Individual web maps do have an internal version number supplied by the application that you use to author your web map. Because ArcGIS apps get updated on different timelines, support for new features may come at different times. For example, if we introduce a new drawing option in ArcGIS Online Map Viewer, there may be a delay before ArcGIS Pro releases an update that supports it. Plus, people choose when they want to upgrade to new desktop versions. Thus, a web map may contain an enhanced feature that a given app may not support yet. Web map versions let the apps gracefully handle these differences. In your example, ArcGIS Collector, now deprecated, doesn't support new features in web maps authored in Map Viewer. Thus, the Collector option is hidden. You don't particularly need to worry about the web map version number (you can't really see it), unless you are using older apps that require an older web map version to run--like Collector. Hope this helps, Mike   ... View more

@AndrewWallick I can see what you mean. We'll see if we can tighten up that text wrapping. thanks, Mike ... View more

How about this? Have the GIS Admin own the hosted feature layer and the view layer. Enable editing on the hosted feature layer and share it to a group that Jim is a member of. Jim, or any other member of the group, would be able to edit the layer. The view layer would not be editable and can be shared publicly. If Jim needs to control the layer, for instance, modify item descriptions or configure editing, you might explore using a 'shared update' group (https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/share-maps/create-groups.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_12B3CD7ADAF843DB90182A01824B3152). An admin can create this group. Items in the group can be managed by all group members. This is the closest AGOL gets to shared ownership of items. ... View more

In general, the things that cost credits in ArcGIS Online include: File storage (Item storage, cached tile layers, etc) Database storage (storing feature layers) Compute costs (e.g., analysis, geocoding, etc.) If the layer you're referencing in your map, 'LA County public facing cache layer', is not hosted in ArcGIS Online and runs on LA County's GIS server, then it won't cost you credits to use the layer.  https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/credits/overview https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/administer/credits.htm   Hope this helps, Mike ...
