I would like to be able to draw lines with a particular bearing (or direction) and to be able to determine the bearing of existing lines. What is the best way to do this? ... View more

I am completely stumped. I was pleased to be able to update attribute data for a data set stored in ArcGIS Online using the Field Map App while being onsite. However, it appears that not all the data is treated the same.

In the last 2 or 3 months, one of the departments I work with has reported having 2 problems with ArcGIS Online. 1) When working in the field using Arc Explorer, one of the layers disappears and does not refresh.

(This happens both in the field and in the office.) These issues do not necessarily happen at the same time. Do you think that these are 2 symptoms caused by the same problem? Something like poor connection or low bandwidth? Or maybe they are two distinct issues? Perhaps it has something to do with when the tablet goes from using cellular signal to a WiFi signal? One maybe since a lot of people have been working from home lately, that is bogging down the works? Has anyone else been having problems like this? I would appreciate any insights that you might have on the matter. ... View more

I set up a survey, posted and shared it. Potential users see this screen when they go to the web site.  I find it very suspicious that in Survey123 the "Members of my organization" box is grayed out. 1) Maybe it doesn't matter,  2) maybe my account is not set up to allow me to share things publicly, or 3) maybe Survey123 is designed so that anyone can contribute, but only if they have an ArcGIS account. Which is it? ... View more
