I trying to learn how to create dashboards to help my management team understand the data we're creating and working with on a daily basis. Being new to dashboards and the data I'm trying to help analyze, I'm reaching out the to the ESRI community for ideas on the best ways to represent the the point and polygon data I have within this dashboard. The dashboard will not be for the public so, it will stay in our Enterprise Portal and we're using the 10.7 release of Portal. Within this dashboard, I want to show two different totals within the dashboard. 1. The total number of countries that contain a point of missing individuals that falls within the countries polygon based upon the spatial relationship between the points and polygons. 2. The second total will be will be created from the point data of missing individuals representing the named countries in the country of loss field. We think these two totals will have different numbers as the data has been compiled over the years from various sources and we're trying to create a quality control dashboard to help our management team understand the differences. Is there a possibility to create the sums in Arcade within the webmap and them use the totals within the dashboard? Thank you for any suggestions on how to represent these two totals and fields in a dashboard. ... View more

I am working with an agency that has a Crowdsource Reporter web application hosted within their Portal. This Crowdsource Reporter has three web maps within the group with three layers per web map that have popups for each layer. Inside the web maps, the popups display fine and but within the web application, only layers 1 and 3 popups display information when the point is selected by the user. The second layer when the user attempts to select the layer in the web application does not appear to be selected and no popup information is displayed. I'm troubleshooting why the second layer fails within two areas. 1.) It does not appear the user can selectable a point in the web application 2.) The layer fails to return any popup information. All three layers are from the same hosted feature service that has popups enabled on each layer in the web maps. Only the first layer in each web map has editing enabled and layers 2 and 3 are based upon a filter for displaying certain items within their popups. Is there something I can check to make sure the layer properties are configured correctly or perhaps permissions are missing? Any suggestions are appreciated and thank you! ... View more

Hello! I'm trying to use ArcGIS Desktop or Pro to make ad hoc grids for field users. I thought I could make an index grid but I’m not sure that is the best route as I'm working with historians and archaeologists that have specific grid design protocols. For example, the grid needs to be 4-meter x 4-meter with at least 10 rows and columns with a user-defined datum based on user-defined MGRS coordinates. I’m trying to figure out how to create these grids on the fly. Then create a model that can be exported to Python and ran as the user defines new possible search sites from a web app as a widget. I was thinking the grid would be uploaded to a hosted feature service with domains for the fields and published as a service to the organization. Field users using Collector or Field Maps would update the areas searched and the teams in-country and offsite could use an operations dashboard to see the progress of the field team’s search areas. To familiarize my brain with making ad hoc grids, I used the Gridded Reference Graphic widget in a web app in Portal but I cannot add fields to the grid or control the named grid labels. That widget is so close but not exactly what I’m looking to accomplish with this project. The Grid Overlay widget is close, too but it only goes down to 10-meter x 10-meter grids that are generated. Also, the labeling of the grids will be based upon a user-defined alfa-numeric numbering system. All the grids will start from the user-specified MGRS coordinate as this will become the lower-left hand point of origin for the grid. The grids will then be labeled with northing, easting, and the grid number will increase by four for each additional grid. I'm new to making grids defined by a user and learning the MGRS grid system so any help is appreciated! ... View more

We operate a county wide SDE ArcGIS shop with three muncipalities sharing our SDE resources for parcels, streets addresses, etc. The muncipalities are served via fiber optic lines that run to their ArcGIS servers and databases. We recently upgraded our ArcGIS Server and users to ArcGIS 10 and service pack 1. Things have been running smoothly but I am starting to receive information from users that one or more drawing layers are failing to draw on a regular basis. During our upgrade to ArcGIS 10 server we took the time to clean up similar isssues we had in the past on ArcGIS 9.3.1 with SDE data layers failing to draw. We believe our server had a bad NIC and drivers. It was also cluttered so, we formated and reloaded it. We replaced switches and conducted extensive hardware testing to ensure we hadn�??t missed anything that might cause users to lose data. So, I am at a loss as to why I have ArcGIS 10 users reporting communication link failures from offsite facilities. Is it a version issue with the user or some other hardware failure? We did have the user reporting the issue, upgrade to service pack 2 for ArcGIS 10 to see if that would resolve it. The user reports the problem happens during and outside of edit sessions. I have checked the data layers to see if zero geometries are present or other anomilaies that may cause the issue. The data looks good and I am at a loss on where the comminucation link is failing on the server side. I have attached the screen shots he sent me. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated! ...
