We recently upgraded our iPads and Field Maps along with them. In addition to the edit menu now being on the left instead of the bottom half of the screen, when we used to press the Update Point button it would flash green for a second to indicate it successfully recorded a point. Now it doesn't do anything and my field workers can't tell if they got good coordinates until they submit the point and check the GPS metadata. Is there a setting somewhere for this or some tolerance I need to change?

Thanks for the reply, I think what you're saying is to publish the service but only cache a small part, then copy the full cache over manually? I'm probably wrong about this, but when I publish imagery I don't want to add it to a map first and potentially have any Arc Pro display settings mess with what gets published, I just want "raw" pixels. I don't know a way to do your method without starting first with the dataset in a map. I was able to clear some disk space and use Share Package to upload and publish the service, then delete the upload, but I'll keep your method in mind for next time.

I've created a tile cache of some aerial photography on my desktop and want to publish it to Enterprise as a service referencing only the cache, no underlying source data. Let's say the cache is 100 GB and there's 150 GB free on the server. Every method I've looked at appears to explicitly or implicitly upload the cache to the server and then copy/unpack it to the cache directory, meaning there would have to be more than twice the size of the cache free on server, which I don't have. Can I somehow use OS tools to copy the cache directly into the server cache directory and then publish it from there? Enterprise 10.9.1, Arc Pro 3.4, cache created with ArcCatalog 10.8.

Thanks for the reply, I was able to find the "View for empty selection" option. I don't understand how it works, but as a test I set it to a random record in my data and that record's attachment displays when nothing's selected. So adding a "dummy" record to the data with a "photos display here" attachment could be a workaround, although purposely introducing bad data is not something I'm going to do at this point just to make an app work.

Experimenting with EB on Enterprise 10.9.1. Configured an image widget to display attachments when a feature is selected in the map or table. When nothing is selected (like on initial loading), is there a way to customize it so that gray mountain thing isn't shown? I'd like to have a "photos will display here" message either by configuring the widget or adding a text widget behind it that "disappears" when a record with attachments is selected.

Of course it was right there in front of my face and I still didn't see it 🙄 Thanks!

I'm working on an Arcade labeling expression in Arc Pro 3.0. If I enter only the code below, everything is labeled "0, false". Since nothing's been added to the array, I'm expecting IsEmpty to return "true". Am I thinking about this wrong, or is it maybe a bug? var u = []; return Count(u) + ", " + IsEmpty(u); Obviously I can use Count to check the array contents instead, but I've used IsEmpty in so many other places I just expected it to apply to arrays also.

The workflow I want: Fixed scale map Activate the map frame Pan the map so it's in the correct position in the lower left corner Deactivate the map frame "Crop" the map frame from the upper right to fit my area of interest without the map contents moving Current sort-of workaround is setting guides where I want the map frame boundaries and using Edit Vertices to snap the map frame handles to the guides, still have to pan the map back to where it's supposed to be though.

I'm trying to use a table in a feature service to populate a select_one question with the autocomplete search appearance. The table includes a column called Active with 0 or 1 for project status. I'd like to filter the list to only show "active" records using a URL parameter. For instance if I put this URL in a browser (server info redacted): https://<enterprise server>/server/rest/services/<feature service>/FeatureServer/1/query?where=Active=1&orderFields=JobNumber&f=json returns the expected result in json format. But if I try similar in Survey123 Connect: autocomplete search('projnum?url=https://<enterprise server>/server/rest/services/<feature service>/FeatureServer/1/query?where=Active=1', 'contains', 'JobName') it doesn't filter anything out. Is this not possible or do I have the syntax wrong or is there a better way to do this? Thanks Enterprise 10.9.1, Survey123 Connect 3.17.54

Just to clarify, I'm working with a single geodatabase raster. Once I figured out I had to publish from Catalog - not as a map image layer - to be able to configure a popup, then I started seeing the Service Pixel Value you referred to. Thanks for the reply and pointing me at the right words to search on to find what I needed.

If you query a raster dataset, say a DEM, using Arc Pro's Explore tool or just clicking in a web map if the raster has been published, and the raster has pyramids, will the tool return the actual value of whatever cell is at the coordinate clicked, or will it return the interpolated value of whatever pyramid level the display is at?

Esri Support confirmed that "position" should not be used with multiline. Their solution: Create a note (I used calculate) question "img_cal" before your image question with calculation column: count-selected(${IMAGE QUESTION})+1 Reference "img_cal" in your image question's bind::esri:parameters file formatting: fileName=concat(${facilityid},"_", format-date(${inspdate}, "%Y%m%d"),"_",${img_cal}) It's working for me. I also tried eliminating the separate question with fileName=concat(${facilityid},"_", format-date(${inspdate}, "%Y%m%d"),"_", count-selected(.)+1) which does NOT work.

I just submitted a case to Support, I'll post the result here.

I created a multiline annotate question with a custom file name expression in bind::esri::parameters: fileName=concat(${facilityid},"_", format-date(${inspdate}, "%Y%m%d%H%M%S"),"_",position(..)) using the unique asset ID, an inspection date question, and to make sure it's a unique name, the number of the image in the multiline question. When I test the form, the first photo I take gets named correctly, like: 999_202210060912_0.jpg but then any additional photos revert to the default naming, like: swBasInsp_image_20221006-091341.jpg I found another post that says "position" only works with repeats, not multiline, but then shouldn't it throw an error instead of working for the first photo? Survey Connect 3.15.178, tested on iPad and Android phone apps. Survey in Enterprise 10.9.1 using a feature service referencing a SQL Server geodatabase Thanks for any suggestions

I was setting up the new portal home page in Enterprise 10.9.1 and noticed that when adding galleries to the home page, if an item's title is too long, instead of wrapping to a new line, it does the "..." truncating. In a lot of my item titles, there's important info in the title after the "...", like: Hazzard County Parcels VERSION FOR EDITING Hazzard County Parcels Viewer They both may end up looking like "Hazzard County Parcels V..." in the gallery. My limited testing: Enterprise gallery: "..." AGOL gallery: "..." Enterprise Sites gallery: wraps This behavior should be consistent across apps and platforms, preferably wrapping so the entire title displays.
