Hi, I've built a web map which contains mapped footpath defects. We manage our defects using a separate asset management system which has an app and can be navigated to via a web link. I've configured the pop up to include a dynamic link to the specific defect which when clicked opens the app to the defect no problem. The issue I'm finding is that on the Android devices we've tested it will open the web link in the app, but the app itself will be within the explorer window, and not it's own separate window. Testing within iOS seems to show that the clicked link opens within the app, separate to the explorer app. I've attempted to create custom popups with a HTML link with a target="_blank" parameter (which seems to be the default set up anyway) but this doesn't work. I've also checked the default app settings, which are correct, and set the android OS to prompt for the app selection when the link is clicked (as seen on the left in the first screenshot) but this doesn't resolve the issue. Are there any workarounds to this? Is this related to the explorer app at all or is this due to the other app we're working with? Any help or information is appreciated.

Hi, I have a DEM raster which contains stockpiles I'd like to get a volume measurement on. These stockpiles sit on a flat pad, which I unfortunately do not have a DEM raster of. My current workflow plan is to create a copy of the raster, clip out the stockpiles, fill in the gaps to create an assumed 'flat' plane underneath the stockpiles using 'Elevation Void Fill', and then subtract the difference between the original DEM and the modified DEM. I'm currently experiencing two issues:    1. I'm not sure I'm following the ideal workflow    2. My current workflow is producing odd and unusable results I'll go over my current workflow issues, but if anyone can suggest a more suitable workflow, that would be even better. 1. I create the boundary of the stockpiles to use in the clip tool 2. Data is clipped 3. Using 'Elevation Void Fill' the gaps are filled in. The data looks fine, but when queried the majority of the data is showing as NoData. 4. In an attempt to force the NoData to actual pixel values, I export the raster as a TIF. The NoData issues disappears, but is replaced with the below data. Obviously this isn't ideal and I'm wondering what happens to produce this when the above result 'looks' to be fine? So, what is going wrong here? Am I way off in the workflow I should be following? Any help is appreciated. Regards Nathan ... View more

Hi all, We've received some new aerial imagery so I'm in the process of generating a new cached tiled map service. What I'm finding is that the aerial imagery in the generated tiles is of a poorer quality than how it looks in ArcMap. We've built pyramids on the imagery and at most scales the quality is as expected. See images below for comparison between expected (screenshot from ArcMap) and generated (screenshot from generated tiles). The only thing that comes to mind is a mismatch between pyramid scales and tile cache scales, but I would have thought the image in ArcMap would look the same as the generated image. Is this behavior normal? Any ideas on how to 'fix' it? FYI ben_vk ... View more
