@KellyGerrow  Doesn't each AGOL user have a single role assigned for all content in the organization? In other words, a user can't be assigned one set of privileges to one hosted layer and a different set of privileges to another, correct? Thanks for any help. ... View more

Thanks for your help, Craig. Server version 10.7.1. Web services are stored as proxy items in AGOL so the user doesn't have to log in for a second time. Assuming the "related record form element" had to be created in Map Viewer, I tried to do that. Documentation for Map Viewer says it only works for hosted content. So this won't work since we are using ArcGIS Server. Would it be correct to say that relationships are supported in Web Editor and Map Viewer only for hosted content? ... View more

@kmsmikrud This is my overall impression. Field Maps can be ok for simple tasks but when I've tried to use more complex features such as snapping, relationships and offline editing, there are problems. Lots of wasted time trying to make this stuff work. Tech support can't figure it out in a few weeks time. If there's any way you can run Collector on iOS, that should get you snapping. You may find some phones or tablets that still have it installed. If not, trying to get it installed will be difficult. Shouldn't be this difficult if Field Maps were made to work properly. By the way, there's no support for snapping on Collector for Android. If you find Collector 20.2.2 on an Android device, you may want to save the APK file somewhere for future use. That has saved us a tremendous amount of time and given us the ability to use relationships (which will not work on Field Maps). I am going to look into using ArcGIS Desktop on a Windows 10 or 11 tablet to support complex editing such as snapping, relationships and offline editing. External GNSS receivers may be an issue on Windows 10 / 11. A feature service from ArcGIS Server can be used for editing and display. This will not be the best user interface for editing in the field but it can probably be made to work and reliably so. ... View more

I compared the documentation pages for "Prepare Feature Services for Online Use" between Server version 10.8 and 11.1. 10.8 mentions the limitation but 11.1 does not. Maybe the limitation has been removed? 10.8 documentation: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/10.8/publish-services/windows/prepare-data-for-offline-use.htm (Search for the heading "Map Layers" in the 10.8 documentation to find the limitation.) 11.1 documentation: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/11.1/publish-services/windows/prepare-data-for-offline-use.htm   ...

Outside of the ESRI world, stored procedures and triggers are used in the database (Oracle, SQL Server, etc.) instead of webhooks.  This is a more direct solution which doesn't have to leave the database for execution. ... View more

Have you tried WKID 6318 for GNSS Coordinate System in  the Field Maps Location Profile? It corresponds to NAD 1983 / 2011 (unprojected). I don't know how to address MYCS2. NY DOT might be able to help with MYCS2. WKID 2261 for your map coordinate system in Field Map Location Profile? That would be "NAD 1983 State Plane New York Central FIPS 3102 feet". This needs to match the coordinate system of your published map. This coordinate system uses the original realization of NAD 1983, which is 1986. Might want to check to be sure your map data actually uses the 1986 realization of NAD 1983. I would think NAD 1983 (2011) (EPOCH:2010) would be correct for TMM GNSS output. But again, I don't know about MYCS2. GNSS source reference frame in TMM NTRIP setting might use the same as above: NAD 1983 (2011) (EPOCH:2010). But again, I don't know about MYCS2. Make sure to get some check points against NGS monuments or similar before calling it good. ... View more

At what point should we give up on such a reasonable request? How long should we wait on this and numerous other issues which are still unresolved? This request was submitted 4.5 years ago. If something as basic as file pathing does not work correctly, how can this product be relied on for daily work? And I am supposed to have our organization switch over to this product? ... View more

You're welcome. I don't think changing the WKID to one that doesn't match that of the ImageServer service will work. You could try it though.  If the aerials actually use WKID 3438 (rather than 3857 / 102100), the imageServer service could have its coordinate system changed (data frame) then recreate the service. Chances are those aerials use State Plane coordinates (rather than WGS 1984 Web Mercator; WKID 3857 / 102100). You may need to remove and re-add the basemap to force the change. The key is to get that WKID to change to 3438 in the JSON code. ... View more

I had a similar problem. Have you used AGOL Assistant to check if the spatialReference property of the basemap layer is set to wkid 3438 rather than the wkt description? Check this in the JSON file for the map (rather than the layer). The description is much longer than the wkt. See the two graphics below. To be clear, spatialReference should be set to "wkid": 6381. If you find this is the problem, you will need to make this change manually every time using AGOL Assistant after saving the map with Map Viewer or Map Viewer Classic. If this is the problem you can mention case # 03174467 to placate ESRI support. The analyst (Dhanaraj) on that case was outstanding. By the way...I would make sure the conversion from EPSG 3438 (which is probably the original realization of NAD 1983 (1986)) to WKID 6318 (NAD 1983 (2011)) is working correctly. Making some checks against NGS monuments will tell the story. We have had problems with ArcGIS Server making this conversion. It would be better if you could set your basemap to match the GNSS coordinate system since this removes the question about conversion. If ArcGIS Online isn't mandatory, Terraflex might make your life easier. I don't much care for either company's products but Terraflex handles coordinate systems, external GNSS connections and enterprise management better than Field Maps. Terraflex does not carry all of the features Terrasync.   ... View more

@Terralytics, This sounds like it could be very helpful. Do you know if the parameter can be saved with the WMS as an item in AGOL? If so, does this mean security can be handled entirely by AGOL? Thanks for any help. ... View more

@GraemeBrowning_Aurizon : I would be looking for a way to automate the conversion of the measures to points so the labeling engine can be used (instead of symbology). Since linear referencing support was removed from ArcGIS Server years ago, I have been doing this as a workaround (in ArcMap) so stationing can be displayed in online maps. Come to think of it, if I'm doing this as a workaround, it proves the labeling engine is suitable for measures. It is silly for ESRI to not use the labeling engine for measures. How long can you wait for ESRI to fix this, if they ever do? Hopefully you didn't buy the Roads and Highways extension yet. ... View more

Here is an experimental idea which could enable authenticated access via Google Earth to a KML web service through a Network Link on ArcGIS Server. I don't have a spare ArcGIS Server / Web Adapter / IIS environment to test this on. Assuming you are using Web Adapter, try enabling Integrated Windows Authentication. There is a topic in the Web Adapter version 7.1 documentation titled 'Configure Web Tier Authentication with Integrated Windows Authentication'. You'll want to read and follow those steps. Doing this means the built-in token-based security in Server will no longer be used. I am using the built-in token security and cannot make this change easily. Maybe, just maybe, when Google Earth makes a call to the ArcGIS Server web service for KML content (through the Network Link), either a login dialog will be presented or IIS will seamlessly / silently accept the credentials that are running the Google Earth session. I have not considered the issues this might cause with Portal or AGOL and how to get around those. I sure am interested to hear the results of anyone who might be able to test this. ... View more
