I created a StoryMap site and the front page gives you the opportunity to add a background image or a video. The page doesn't allow for an external web link like a youtube video, but you can upload a video file like an mp4 but are limited in file size. I modified the video file to accommodate the file size and the video played like expected. However, whenever anyone tried opening the web app, they would get a login screen. I double checked all the files and apps to make sure they were set to public. However, they still got the login screen. I decided to remove the video in the opening screen and that solved the issue. So, my question is where does the video file get stored and how can I make it shareable. Thanks! ... View more

I created a Geodatabase with different point layers and assigned domains to specific fields. In the domain menu I have the code and a description. As I understand it, the description is what drives the pull down menu in the form for CrowdSource Reporter. However, the pull down menu is showing the code and not the description. For example, the pull down menu displays "BikeConn" when it should read "Bike Connectivity" In the web map containing the layers, the descriptions display correctly in the table of contents, and when I add geography, the pull down menu choices are correct. This issue started after I updated my service. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help. Steve ... View more

I have a challenge I'm trying to figure out. Much of our different ArcMAP files are labeled F1_StudyArea.mxd, F2_RoadNetwork.mxd, etc. The "F1" represents the figure number in the report and the remaining name is the map title. I'd like to somehow use the dynamic text tool to read the F1_StudyArea.mxd file name and produce the following text in layout with specific formatting tags: Figure 1 Study Area The reason why I would like this function is the common figure number and title updates we go through. It would be easy to rename the mxd file and run a script to produce PDFs with updated figure numbers and names. Is this possible or pie in the sky? Thanks! ... View more

We are an AEC company that is looking into Virtual Machine (VM) technology and I'm curious to learn more from user experience, hardware and software used, and cost. Currently we have some satellite users copying files locally because their connection to the network is slow. We are hoping to find a VM solution to keep users on the network and avoid data replication. Any advice, stories, and experiences are certainly welcome and helpful. Thanks! ... View more

I have a linear reference challenge that I'm trying to solve. I have a road layer with an LRS system and I have several tables designed to map different road characteristics. For example, I have a table for shoulders and it has fields for shoulder type and width. Another table is for medians with a field for width and type. Ultimately the different tables produce multiple line layers for each characteristic and they all overlap. Attached you will see a diagram I created that explains my end goal. What I want to produce is a single line layer that is segmented whenever the road characteristic changes between the different road characteristic line layers. My thought is I need to combine all the tables into one table but the From and To fields have duplicates which still create overlapping lines. Any thoughts? Thanks for your help. Steve ... View more
