Much appreciated, Gary. I came to the same conclusion regarding the single layer. It just makes more sense for my analysts. Regarding the MGRS issue: it is simply the need to have the MGRS, or any coordinate, automatically input into a field based on where the point is dropped onto the map, automatically. I fully expected this to be easy to configure, but I am having trouble finding the functionality to configure a field within the attributes table that can auto-populate with coordinates. I have explored many of the calculate field options within ArcGIS Pro as well as the Calculate Geometry options within ArcMap, but I find those useful in bulk after the feature class is fully created. Currently, my fellow analysts have to drop the point and input the coordinates themselves. This can be burdensome on our timelines, given our ops tempo. I explored the 'calculate field' functions and find those to be useful after the feature class is created. We need an on-the-fly solution. Especially given our desire to fully utilize a WebGIS construct and feed into dynamic Common Operating Pictures between different teams and sites. My Free Beer offer stands until this requirement is satisfied. I think it a worthy request. Thanks, Ammo

Working with multiple (hosted) feature layers, I was looking for a way to automatically write to a master layer. Since they were already separate layers, most with the same schema, I thought this possible. On the server side at least, this doesn't seem easy. In Pro, I can just run the append tool, but that doesn't satisfy a dynamic, multi-user operating environment. They are making single observations on the fly and using the smart-edit widget from WebAppBuilder seems pretty user-friendly. (side-quest, how can I get the MGRS field to auto-populate/calculate?? FREE BEER for anyone who helps me do this!) As a work-around, I'm going to try and re-publish a single feature layer for all users to write to. How many users at once can edit a hosted feature layer in portal? I'm going to get them all using the same web app (built using web app builder) in the same tab of a map series app. Is this un-wise? Thanks, Ammo

Whether in ArcGIS Pro, ArcMap, or in the browser, my suggestion is simple. Due to the obliquity of many types of aerial imagery, I suggest that there be a function that lets users open up the raster layer in an electronic light table (ELT) and exploit from there. I have seen "image space" but what would be more useful, much like the FMV viewer, is an ELT that opens in a separate viewer, honors the obliquity of the image, and where the metadata of the imagery intersects with the maps metadata, the annotations as features reflect on the map view. Additionally, within the ELT options, users should be able to select which feature class and geodatabase they are connecting to updating and editing. ArcGIS Pro allows simultaneous 2D and 3D views; why not an Image View as well. A web ELT would integrate nicely with ArcGIS Enterprise. I would personally like to see the WebELT be a widget in the same tab, but I understand that it could limit the functionality and experience into a smaller view. If in a separate tab, there should be an option as to which portal layer users pull in and update/edit.

- I was hoping that someone could provide me examples of a well formatted CSV. (I was building from scratch, to test) - Also, what are some of the issues that make a CSV "incorrect"?

Is there an example template of a CSV file that can successfully be added to ArcGIS Earth? The wizard pops up and I am selecting fields for both X and Y. I get "string errors" after that. I have experimented with multiple coordinate formats. Any help or examples of success would be much appreciated.
