Recently upgraded/updated to Web AppBuilder 2.17. We use a modified version of the Dart Theme which basically moves the primary widget bar from the bottom of the screen to the top. I cannot find the proper location in the source code of the Dart template to make that simple change. I suspected it was in one of the CSS files but now I'm guessing the CSS is actually generated dynamically from one of the JS files. I've done this before and remember it being simple; however, I didn't make note of it and can't figure it out now! Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🙂 ... View more

Can an email field be constrained or filtered to only allow specific email address domains to be submitted? For example, the survey would allow @gmail.com and @yahoo.com but error on any other values. Is that a thing you can implement in the logic of the .xlsx file from Connect? ... View more

Here's the scenario: Created an initiative with various pages and associated assets, let's call it "My Initiative". The Site URL setting is "myinitiative" Decided "My Initiative" has some issues with permissions, groups, etc... and I want to start over fresh, but I don't want to lose that content. I rename it to "My Initiative V1" and change the Site URL to "myinitiativev1" I try to spin up a new clean initiative called "My Initiative" but I keep getting an error that the name is already in use. Strangely so are various derivations of the name. What the what??? I've checked object settings in AGOL and the name change seems to propagate. I've looked through JSON back end and the name change seems to propagate. I can't figure out why I can't create a new initiative set with the same original name. It's as though there's something behind the scenes that is still holding on to the original name. ... View more

How can I grant read-only (select) access to non database owner users for the SDE_Compress_Log table in SQL Server 2016 or ArcGIS Desktop 10.6.1? I've tried in both environments and the settings seem correct. That table belongs to the SDE schema, while other users belong to a different schema. Users that are in the db_owner role can see it, but those in db_datareader and/or db_datawriter roles cannot see this table. ... View more

Looking for input and/or testing ideas. We have enterprise geodatabases (SQL Server 2016) running on VMs in our data center. They vary in complexity from simple default with only a few feature classes/assets to heavily versioned with numerous feature classes/assets. When I open the properties window for an SDE connection file on my desktop there is a noticeable lag. The time is acceptable for the simpler databases but for the complex ones it takes many minutes (5, 10, or more) and sometimes I just give up. When I open the same properties window on a VM also running in the data center for the same SDE connection using the same credentials the response is very fast. Even the complex databases open in 30-40 seconds. Same version of desktop. Same license level. Everything should be apples to apples. One of the only factors I can attribute a difference to is network bandwidth. So how do I test this issue? Is there some tool (wireshark, fiddler, etc...) so I can see what's going on under the hood? Could network gear be throttling the communication to our remote offices? We're on high-speed connections. Final mention...this issue can be replicated with multiple machines and users in various office locations. ... View more
