Thanks for this input, those are additional questions I had as well in my research...it does appear in Help documents that when a "map service" is referred to, it mentions tiling...unfortunately, I need vector layers, so I guess we'll just wait to hear from a pro about what all this means! ...

So I can't invite people who have public accounts to join my group created under a subscription? ... View more

Yesterday when I posed the question, I had done what you told me to in your most recent post and it said I had to contact ESRI....now it's working fine, YES!  But NOW, I'm trying to keep this map private but to share it within a group of invited users....but the search engine to find the users doesn't pull up their usernames when I type them in.....do invited users have to have a paid subscription, too?  Or can't I invite users on the public account to have access to a group that I've created with my paid account?  Seems like that should be okay, but maybe this is a feature ESRI should add?  🙂   Otherwise, how do I let others contribute to a somewhat private map? ...

I managed to create a dropdown for editing until I realized later on that I can't share an editable shapefile on a web app, so in creating a feature service, the Edit button is now grayed in the Item Details....I tried creating a service from ArcMap to ArcGIS Online, but it says I don't have hosting services enabled and need to contact ESRI....not sure if that's even necessary, I just need for that Edit button to not be grayed out!  Any ideas?  Thanks,  Jill ...

If I want my feature polygons to all start out as one color, that would mean they all have the same attribute in that field...so then how would it know what the dropdown options are?  Also, how do I make it so that the users can edit a field in the table, but not edit the shape itself?  Thanks,  Jill ...

Nevermind, figured it out....clicked ADD ITEM under My Content, which converted it to feature service....then, under Item Details for the layer, click the little arrow next to the layer name, and found Time Settings....don't think this has been updated in the directions since the December 2012 updates, because the directions were different in other resources. ...

Thanks, I actually just figured out how to create a feature service about 5 minutes ago, and now have my shapefile as feature service, but when I go to click on Description, it now doesn't even show up in the layer options....did I miss a step?  Was I supposed to check a box somewhere along the way?  Thanks,  Jill ...

I am using the 30-day trial....is that feature not included in the trial?  I already had a personal account with a different email address, but really wanted to utilize more features but use the 30-day trial first.....will it not work? ... View more
