That makes sense. In Web App Builder, we had a group filter widget which could be applied to multiple layers using a single search term (filtering on the same field in each layer), and therefore it could be included in the URL parameters. This was incredibly useful for us, and I would like to be able to do this in Experience Builder.

Is it possible to pass a value to this widget as a GET parameter in the URL?

Our IT team are planning to replace our shared remote desktop server (RDP host). The new server will ONLY be used for people to connect and run ArcGIS Pro 3.2. The IT team would like some clarification around the specs of the new machine to make sure we get it right. We have been unable to find specific answers to their questions in the ESRI documentation for which the specifications are for a single-user PC (ArcGIS Pro 3.2 system requirements—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation). Additionally, ESRI (Australia) support tells me "hardware specification recommendations for ArcGIS Pro ... falls outside the support we can provide" and "we are unable to provide information regarding hardware setups". then they recommended posting here instead. So here 'tis... This host will service up to 10 users simultaneously. So we need to figure out how much RAM, CPU, GPU, etc, is appropriate for this kind of use. Please see our IT’s questions below: These are specs we are thinking of, but wanting to know what you either recommend or what other clients that you know are running in similar situations: HPE DL360 Gen10 Plus 2x Xeon-S 4314 – 16 Cores @ 2.4Ghz per CPU (32 in total) 128GB DDR4 Ram MR416i Controller 2x 960GB MU SATA SSD SFP+ 10/25GbE NIC Nvidia T4 16GB GPU * We are looking at setting up Hyper-V up on this server and run the Arc GIS Pro client on a virtual machine, being assigned 95% of the server resources as it will be the only VM. Additional questions: Is 32 core sufficient or possible too much given we have the GPU? Is there much benefit or disadvantage in getting a faster CPU cores or consider a trade off for faster cores, but say less of them, eg. 16 Cores in total at 3.2Ghz per core. 128GB Ram, this will be perfectly fine for a few users, but will it be an issue for 6-10 users? – Or will the system mange what resources it has available? Nvidia T4 GPU – This looks like a great card, any issues that you are aware of with this card for this purpose? If we are storing [much] of our GIS share data on this server (around 2TB worth [in file geodatabases]), is there any reported benefits or disadvantages of using SATA SSD vs SAS SSD vs NVMe SSD? Are there any ArcGIS Pro users here with similar needs who can comment on what is working well for them? Specifically for around 10 simultaneous users on the one machine.

Thanks for this. It's interesting to note that as of October 25 (ie, in three weeks time), AGOL will be introducing a 'Recycle Bin' feature, from which deleted items can be recovered. It only keeps deleted items for 14 days, but that's an improvement over zero. 🙂 (This is based on information I received from ESRI recently.)

I think this has resolved the issue. However, the answer is not as simple as this. There were (as half-expected) some complication along the way. When it was all finished, I ended up with TWO copies of the survey on my device. Attempting to delete ONE of them resulted in BOTH of them being deleted. No problem, I re-downloaded the survey onto the device, and it works (without the bug that I've been trying to deal with). Hooray! However, that led me to think... what if the problem was on the device itself? I didn't get around to testing on other devices, so I am left wondering if the problem could have been fixed simply by deleting/re-downloading on the device? (Yes, I SHOULD have tried this earlier on). Now the other complications that occurred along the way, in brief: I published the new survey BEFORE making any changes. I decided this may be necessary, because several items are missing from the .iteminfo if the survey is not yet published, of course. Including the owner and owner_folder. Firstly, I attempted to change the .iteminfo while Survey123 Connect was NOT running. The result of this was that when Survey123 Connect was started up again, it wanted to re-download the new survey from ArcGIS Online before it would allow me to do anything with it. Well, I wasn't sure if that would help or hinder, so I deleted it and started again. This next time, I made the changes to .iteminfo while Survey123 Connect was running. However, after publishing, I found that it had reverted the .iteminfo content (presumably from some in-memory cache?). So it just published to the new online survey again instead of to the old one I was trying to replace. So a bit more stuffing around, and I can't remember the exact details, but the next time I published it, IT WORKED! It replaced the old/buggy survey, and it worked on the device. I was then able to delete the new survey in both Survey123 and in ArcGIS Online. All seems to be OK now. But I'll be staying close to the phone in case users start telling me they have serious problems with it!

Thanks for this information. I may give it a shot. So long as I keep a good back-up of the .csv and .xlsx, the worst that can happen is that I'll have to create a new survey (with my copies of .xlsx and .csv) and get all the users to switch over to the new survey. Right? Although... here's a curly one... I've had experiences where temporary (eg, testing) copies of surveys have been finished with, and then of course when deleting them, their entire online presence, including even the feature service, gets deleted as well. In some cases, this has resulted in the production feature service being deleted! In this case, I'm not too worries about the feature service, as this particular survey uses a hard-coded URL in the .xlsx 'Settings' which points to a proxy service which redirects to our ArcGIS Online service. So I think that's safe (fingers crossed - and lots of backups). What does concern me with this strategy is that if I get the new survey all running OK using the old survey's ID, then at some point, I'm going to want to delete the old survey. Is is possible to delete the old (buggy) survey without having the new survey destroyed also? Or will publishing the new survey effectively replace the old survey in-place, such there there is still only the one survey? (In which case I can just delete the folder from the Survey123 Connect folder on my Windows PC.) Again, I guess I can try it and find out.

Well this is getting completely BIZARRE! If I create a completely new survey and replace its form .xlsx with the one from the buggy survey, and also copy in the buggy survey's .csv file to the new survey's media folder, the new test survey works perfectly! What else within the survey could be causing this, if it is not anything within the .xlsx or the .csv? It appears that I could get around the problem by publishing as a completely new survey, but then all the users would have to be educated to stop using the old survey, to delete it from their devices, and then to download another survey that (to all intents and purposes) is exactly the same. (Not to mention the issues with other apps that are already using the survey's feature service). Is there some way to identify the problem with the existing survey and to fix it without having to publish as a new survey ID?

‎09-28-2023

I have now created a cut-down version of the survey for testing that only includes a very small number of questions (ie, the problem question itself, its repeat and its group, and all the questions it depends on and that are dependent on it). It WORKS! So now its matter of adding back in all of the questions, and using a more fine-grained attrition to figure out which questions/calculations, etc, are causing the issue. I'll post back when I get some results.

‎09-28-2023

That's another good suggestion. So I tested this theory by wiping out the entire contents of the CSV (1,500 rows), and typing in just a few rows manually, using only simple characters. The problem persists with a CSV that contains only known simple characters. 😥

‎09-28-2023

That's always worth checking. But in this case, there is no space in the file name and the case matches OK.

We are using ‘Survey123 Connect’ 3.18.124 to develop our surveys and we are using ‘Survey123’ 3.18.145 on iOS to use the surveys. In one of our surveys, we are using a “select_one_from_file” question type in order to get choices from a CSV file bundled with the survey. In Survey123 Connect, it displays the choices correctly as a list of radio buttons. But in the real Survey123 app on the device, it displays no choices at all. It just shows the question Label and the question Note, but no choices (or anything else before the next question). It may be worth noting that this question also has a very simple choice_filter. It works fine in Survey123 Connect. I don't think it's relevant, but this question is within a repeat. How can I get the choices to appear as expected in Survey123 on iOS?

‎09-27-2023

Notes do not work for a repeat that has no records in it.

In my case, I found that applying all pending Windows operating system updates (on the machine hosting the SQL Server) fixed the issue. (I then went ahead and applied SQL Server updates as well, but it was the operating system updates that resolved it for me.) This was with a host running MS SQL Server 2019, and two-and-a-half years after the previous post in this topic.

Actually, on second thoughts, I belive that my facetious comment was actually true. That "Default" button does actually do something different to what I thought, and I believe that it does actually work as intended. Note that the "Units" options are under the "Current Project" category of Options! If I change the default Location Units while in an open project, then it DOES actually work for any new map opened WITHIN THAT CURRENT PROJECT. If I open a new project, then that will have reverted to ESRI's default. What we really need, is a default setting that is universal, and not per-project (ie, what most people expect "Default" to mean!).

‎02-05-2023

I had the same problem in 2.8 and am still having the same problem in 3.0.3. It seems that ESRI has no interest is fixing this one. I will also log a job with technical support as I'm thoroughly sick of having to manually select my preferred location units for EVERY SINGLE MAP !!! Or perhaps that "Default" button in the ArcGIS Pro has some other purpose, and I'm mis-understanding what it is supposed to do.
