It would be extremely helpful to have a tool, like a magnifier, to view the map while in layout view, especially for maps to be printed in large format. It is frustrating and time consuming to have to watch the layers refresh every time I want to zoom in to check out a particular area of the map that I cannot see in the whole page mode. I don't want ArcMap to redraw the layers every time I pan around the map! ... View more

Hi Dan, Per your suggestion, I removed all the layers and determined with reasonable certainty the issue is not with any of my layers but rather appears to be something with the data frame. Thus, I examined the data frame properties and determined if I uncheck the Default Group Name in Annotation tab in the the Data Frame Properties (See attached), I don't get the line. However, the catch is that if I turn this off, all of my leader lines disappear. So it has got to be something related to the annotation and/or data frame properties. I compared the settings with my other maps and they are all the same though so I don't understand why one map is doing this but the others are not. Anyway, I appreciate your help. If anyone else has an idea about what is going on here, please chime in. Thanks, Lyndy ... View more

All of my maps in the series use same underlying data so if it were a geometry issue wouldn't it show up on all maps? In addition, I don't see the line until I export. If it was a geometry issue, wouldn't it  be visible in the map? Lyndy ... View more

Yes. I am. But many of my other maps do as well and I am not getting this line. Any thoughts? Lyndy ... View more

Thanks to all who have replied to my question. Mary: I also noticed that the checkbox for search only within my organization was checked and disabled. I checked my security settings and made sure all the boxes were checked in the Policies and Sharing and Searching Menus. However, I still cannot search for any users outside my organization. I think this must be a limitation of ArcGIS Online Organizational accounts authorized for home use. ... View more

I am happy to see this issue raised already as this is exactly the same problem I have been facing. I want to be able to share certain content with public users but not make the data public. I thought perhaps if I made a group then I could invite public users to join my group, but that doesn't work either because public users cannot join groups made by organizational account users. Thus, the only other solution that I could come up with is to somehow make the data accessible with a user name and password so that I could invite public users to collaborate but not make the data public. However, this option does not seem to be currently available. Perhaps there is a widget out there I am not aware of? ... View more

Currently, no. That's what this thread is about, but I don't know how a user would be able to view non-public content without there being some way for the user to get past a gate-like a password. ... View more

Katie, What exactly does the bsa.maps part of the URL do? Please clarify. ... View more

Thank you, Michelle. That's what I thought. The ArcGIS Online documentation is clear that a public account user cannot join a group that is part of an organizational account. However, it was unclear to me if administrators of organizational accounts could create a group and invite users with a public ArcGIS Online account to join. I wonder why organizational accounts are limited in this way. I think it would be useful if administrators of organizational accounts could create groups that allow them to send a limited number of invites to public users so they could update data products that relate to a common project layers that the group does not want to make public.  Another way to accomplish the same objective would be adding functionality to allow organizational account users to create a web app that requires a user name and password to access. What I am trying to get at here is that I would like to see functionality to create a Geo-Form that is accessible to public users who I grant access to either by customizing the form to be accessible by a user sign in or by allowing public users to access the Geo-Form by joining my group. I hope this makes sense! Thanks, Lyndy ... View more

Thanks for the reply, Seth. I have read these materials, but the instructions don't solve my original problem, which is: As the administrator for an ArcGIS Online organizational account, I cannot invite any users who have public accounts to join my group because organizations cannot invite public members to join. Thus, it is not possible for me to follow the steps outlined in Join with an Existing Public Account, which state: "After the administrator of the organization has invited you to join...."  1. Open the email and click this link to join. 2. Click by converting an existing ArcGIS Public Account. In addition, converting from a public to an organizational account would involve purchasing an ArcGIS Online subscription, correct? So this doesn't solve my problem of wanting to invite specific public users to join my group. ... View more
