Often software and web app developers require only 1 REST service be referenced in their application which loads anywhere from 1 to infinity datasets from ArcGIS OnLine.  Presently, the only way to create that 1 REST service which includes multiple datasets is to load the data into a map in ArcPro and then publish that collection of data as a hosted feature service. The data management issue is that (1) often the data included in this new bundle already exist in ArcGIS OnLine each as independent REST services (2) so once this bundle of data are pushed to AGOL as a REST service with multiple items, this is now duplicating data in AGOL and (3) whenever there's a data update to any of the datasets within the bundle it now requires twice the effort to push the update to AGOL (since one has to update that initial REST service which references just 1 dataset as well as updating the REST service that contains the bundle of datasets). It would be most helpful if we could create a Group REST service that references a collection of REST services from their organization.  This way whenever a hosted feature dataset within the collection is updated independently, the Group REST service stays in-sync with the source dataset(s). Presently, one can create a Group Layer (from Map Viewer in AGOL) and this almost does what I'm describing.  However, the Group Layer is not a REST service and hence can not be readily used by 3rd party applications.

Hello -- I have an existing Survey123 form which contains a GeoPoint question and an add multiple records question (in this case, all members of your household) -- which results in the creation of a relate table. So my question is, how feasible would it be for me to batch load results from an earlier survey into this existing Survey123 feature layer?  I know there's the simple append tool in AGOL but I'm unclear as to how difficult it would be to correctly associate the related records. If this is possible, I'd appreciate knowing the general workflow to accomplish this. Thanks, -Chris ... View more

Hi - I've seen the various posts describing how to use a custom map from AGOL within Survey123 and I'm wondering if a custom geolocator can be applied to that AGOL basemap and used within the Survey123 App?  In my area, the default ESRI geocoder used for addresses isn't very accurate.  So, if I could replace that geocoder with a field value from my assessing data, it would provide better results. I anticipate many residents would have trouble finding their property on a map.  So, if they could just enter their address to pin the location, that should provide more reliable results.

It would be useful to add an option in an AGOL Map to apply the layer's default popup view.  Currently, if a default popup view is established for a data layer after it was added to a Map, the popup does not refresh to reflect that default popup. The only way to load the default popup view is to remove the data layer and re-add it to the Map.  Which then requires re-setting any other settings (i.e. symbolization, transparency, layer name, etc). ...
