I'm configuring a dashboard and intend the end product to allow the user to use the search bar in the Map to look up a specific record from a layer in the map. In the web map that's the basis for the dashboard I have set the Application Settings to Enable Search By Layer and have removed the default search services. However, in the dependent dashboard the search widget still shows the ArcGIS World Geocoding Service as the default in addition to the layer that I added. Is it possible to remove the default geocoding service from the search bar so that it's only searching by the layers that I designate?

I'm working in Map Viewer Classic on an ArcGIS Enterprise Portal, and I have a feature layer with two related tables (One-to-many relationship). For the feature layer I want to show information from fields in the related table in the pop-up but am unable to get any more information other than the count statistic. While configuring pop-ups I can reference reference a field from one of the related tables {relationships/0/FIELDNAME} however, the related field is a string, and I only get the option to display the information from the field as a Statistic Operator with count. I would like to show the actual information in the field. Is there a configuration step that I'm missing? Showing the record count for a related field is not really useful for me in this scenario - I need to get at the actual information in the field.

I'm still getting used to some of the changes to ArcGIS Pro's model builder - including the planned deprecation of the Feature Class to Feature Class tool in favor of the Export Features tool. With Feature Class to Feature, it was really easy to define the Output Name for the Feature Class using a Parameter, as the tool had a defined Output Name value that could point to a user-input variable. Is there a simple way to establish the same? I want to have the user input a string that would then be used as a parameter for the Feature Class name in the Export Features tool. Thank you

Not quite - but I believe it may be connected to whenever the published service is set to use "Generate dynamically form the data" vs. "using an existing tile cache". If generating dynamically from the data, the service either needs a lot of time or tops out at 5 levels of detail. Best to be explicit with the server cache and tiles as I mention below. Best way I found to ensure that the service is using the correct cache and the correct scales is to run the Manage Map Server Cache tool to delete the cache entirely, run it again to create a new cache with the required levels of detail. And then use the Manage Map Server Cache Tiles to generate tiles for all of those cache details. Probably not the most efficient way to to do things - but starting with a clean slate seems to help. I haven't tested extensively yet - so these are just my first thoughts on it.

Hi there, Recently republished one of our map services in ArcGIS Pro that had been published via ArcMap. This Map Service has a tile cache. Question 1: Why when Overwriting the established service is a new cache created with the name of the Service appended with the date and time? I would have liked the new service to reference the already existing cache, so now there's no way to switch the service back to Question 2: I seem unable to find the right way to increase the Maximum Level of Detail setting in the Tiling settings for the service. I have a full cache generated with 13 levels of detail. However, whenever I've overwritten the service - the new service has now defaulted to only allowing 5 maximum levels of detail. The settings are greyed out in ArcGIS Server Manager, and changing them in the Service Properties via Catalog does not seem to have any affect, and the level of detail is still limited. Is there a way that 1) when I republish a service I can make it use the already existing tile cache rather than generating a new cache with an appended date, and 2) that I can adjust the maximum level of detail for the service so that I can make sure it will use all 13 levels of detail to correspond with the large cache that has been used for the map service so far. Thank you

Hi there, I've deployed the Cemetery Solution and have been appending data and have run into a weird issue while creating and appending data for the layers. Going through the tasks, I created Sections, and then since our cemetery has Blocks, I would run the append tool as illustrated by the task. However, even though I was pointing to the correct Layer (the Sections layer inside the Cemeteries Hosted Feature Layer) data that was meant to append to Blocks shows in Sections instead. When I go to append to Sections, that data shows up in Blocks. Is this by design? Am I missing something with how this Solution was set up or have others encountered this as well? Thank you

Hi there, With the push for more Experience Builder applications, I'm struggling to find a migration workaround for the Emergency Response Guide widget (present in Web App Builder). It is not planned to move to Experience Builder in any fashion, and the only suggested migration path is "Custome Development Necessary" Web AppBuilder and Experience Builder functionality matrix—ArcGIS Web AppBuilder | Documentation. Is it expected to have to develop using Experience Builder developer edition in order to string together a series of operations to replicate the widget? Has anyone had any success in doing so? Thanks!

This has been showing up for one of our users as well, for a markup tool in another application that must use the Esri JavaScript API. I've created a support ticket with Esri as well to see if the issue for the user can be resolved. Will update if any fixes are found, but seeing as I can't replicate the issue and that Esri might not be able to either - not sure what the fix may be.

Hello, I'm attempting to adapt some of my organization's workflow from Map to Pro-based workflows. One that I'm hung up on is an annotation workflow. For the most part, it works the same besides some small parameters changes to make. 1) New point feature records are generated. Label features. 2) Select those new features, convert labels to annotation. 3) Copy new annotation features, paste into production dataset 4) Format copied annotation attributes < In ArcMap, after I adjusted the Annotation symbol to one of our smaller preconfigured symbols, the pasted annotation would remain centered on the point features. However, in Pro after adjusting the symbol, the annotation for all the copied features renders with a significant offset. Is there some method with which I could adjust the pasted annotation features' anchor point or ability to snap so that when the annotation symbol is changed the center of the annotation remains snapped to the center of the feature that is posted on. I know if I select and move the annotation features individually they will snap, but I'm trying to do this in bulk so I don't have to go record by record. Thank you!

Hi there, Looking to attach Google Analytics to one of our Hub sites - and I was curious if the Analytics only tracks visits and usage for the hub website domain in its entirety, or if it can also track visits to individual pages on the hub site. If it doesn't track for pages on the Hub site - is there a way to configure it to do so? Thank you,

Hello, I have a feature service that I want users to use to edit the "status" of a feature. I have domains for a "Feature Color" field and a "Status" field (both integer data). I intend to symbolize by both fields, so there are a number of combinations: 0,0 - Feature Color 0, Incomplete 0,1 - Feature Color 0, Complete 1,0 - Feature Color 1, Incomplete 1,1 - Feature Color 1, Complete etc. It is not an empty dataset to start. There is data for attributes with status populated as "Incomplete". Users will then edit the data to "Complete" to track work progress. Pro is only letting me (for now) symbolize features for combinations of data that already exist in the dataset. This isn't useful for creating an active layer intended for editing and progress tracking. Is there any way I can set up the layer's symbology so that the symbols for 'Complete' status items exist despite them not being present in the data (yet?). I don't want to give this data over to users, have them begin progress tracking, and then symbolize based on the modified attributes for a visual representation of progress. I also don't want to have to create "false" records just in order for me to apply the symbology I need for the status tracking I'm a little frustrated that there seems to be a barrier (either technically or of my own awareness) to achieving this. Any explanations, solutions or workarounds are recommended! Thanks!

Thanks Brian! Useful for a quick workaround - using Experience Builder instead to pin the Edit dialog to an open panel gets rid of any intrusive pop-ups. Not the ideal functionality - but it works for now!

Hi there, Attempting to configure some applications for end users using Web App Builder. I'm asking to see if there are any known strategies for simplifying the editing experience. This application is intended to primarily for editing the attributes (a "STATUS" field, Complete vs. Not Complete) of a single line feature layer. For simple presentation and tracking experiences. Many of our end users want a simpler interaction where they can: 1) Click on a feature via the map 2) Change the feature's status attribute And then have that be it. Is there some way to initiate a "live" editing session upon opening the Web AppBuilder application? Having to select the Edit widget and leave the Feature Template box open (when it isn't necessary for updating attributes on static geometry), or select the desired feature and then 'Edit' from the pop-up and then change the attributes is a few too many steps. Or if there is another ArcGIS Online application that may serve this use better? Thanks!

Darn, thanks for the update though!

Adding my support to this idea. Currently, the way legend items appear inline with the Layer Name creates an awkward visual break in the legend that is difficult to interpret. Having the items either centered or swatches/labels appear below the Layer Name line would be greatly helpful.
