I really like the Smart Editor's features, but one failing compared to the older 'dumb' editor widget is it's use of screen real-estate. In the regular Edit widget the templates pane automatically sized itself to match the size that the widget was set to. In the Smart Editor the template pane is fixed to a preset size forcing people to scroll and search for their template way more than necessary. If it had auto-sized all of the templates would have fit on screen. Is there any simple way to get it to automatically size the templates pane similar to the regular Edit widget? It would be nice to have a way to auto-size without using the developer edition to modify code. Although if that's what it comes down to, I might try and tackle it. Any suggestions or solutions would be appreciated. Thanks! -K ... View more

I'm using ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6.1 with ArcGIS Portal 10.6.1 with data in SQL Server 2014.   I've been attempting to build a ArcGIS Portal map popup with a custom attribute expression written in Arcade to calculate X and Y from the Geometry object.   However it seems like the Arcade geometry object is Null in all Map Image Layers (these are dynamically drawn and the data is stored in an enterprise geodatabase).   On a dynamically drawn Map Image Layer, 'Text($feature)' returns: {"geometry":null,"attributes":{"Elevation":366.27200317,"GlobalID":"{E132538C-B97D-4464-873B-026D434A93F4}","Layer":"Fire_Hydrant","OBJECTID":1,"POINT_X":426693.043,"POINT_Y":5410332.5313,"Utility_Type":1}} I do have fields for the X and Y however they are not dynamic when the points moves which is why I want to calculate from the geometry of the point.   On a Feature Layer drawn from the same data source, 'Text($feature)' returns: {"geometry":{"x":426693.0429999996,"y":5410332.531300001,"spatialReference":{"latestWkid":26915,"wkid":26915}},"attributes":{"Elevation":366.27200317,"GlobalID":"{E132538C-B97D-4464-873B-026D434A93F4}","Layer":"Fire_Hydrant","OBJECTID":1,"POINT_X":426693.043,"POINT_Y":5410332.5313,"Utility_Type":1}}   There's no mention of this limitation in the documentation that I can find. If it truly isn't supported in Map Image Layers that throws a wrench in my plans. I can understand tiled map image services not supporting this, but i really think it should work in dynamic ones that support Query operations.   Anyone have the same issue or any work-arounds? I'm thinking about filing a bug report/feature request. ... View more

Has anyone experienced this? I'm using developer edition 2.4 and users have been complaining about 3 to 10 second pauses when zooming. I tested the map itself by viewing the it in portal, it displays correctly with no pauses at all. Then on a whim I stopped the layer list widget in the app from automatically loading on startup of the web app, this gave a near instantaneous zoom response. Then I opened the layer list widget manually and the pauses in zooming had returned. Additionally, after closing the Layer List the zooming pauses remain as the widget isn't automatically unloaded when closed. This map does have a moderate amount of layers, however there are no pauses zooming when viewing the map in ArcGIS Portal, or when the layer list widget is disabled in the web app. This is making me suspect a bug where the map is waiting to draw while the layer list is doing something else. Perhaps it's checking weather each layer is visible at that scale?? Does anyone have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong, suggestions or a work-around that I could try? Thanks, -Kurtis ...

International standard date format support (ISO Standard 8601 example: YYYY-MM-DD) is not supported in any of ESRI's AGOL and Portal based solutions. Many organizations mandate the use of this date standard and not having it supported is an impediment to rolling out these solutions. Having dates in this format gives a predictable and easily sortable date format that is compatible across many systems, especially those that work internationally. ISO 8601 - Wikipedia  ...

Presently the default DPI value of the print widget in the Web AppBuilder is static and set extremely low (96dpi which is fine for screen viewing but inappropriate for printing) and can only be modified by changing the code in the Developer Edition. Users complain that maps created are low-res and have to be instructed to increase the DPI every single time they print. Having the default DPI as a configurable widget option would solve this problem. ... View more

I'm wondering if anyone has used Survey123 for this already or if Survey123 plans to support the following workflow. I have an enterprise geodatabase with an existing data structure where there's a point feature class containing 'AirQuality_SampleSites'.There's also two tables called 'AirQuality_FieldData_TSP' and 'AirQuality_FieldData_PM25' these two tables contain the data collected from instruments at the sample sites. There is a 1 to Many relationship class relating the 'AirQuality_SampleSites' to the 'AirQuality_FieldData' tables with a field called 'STATION_ID' (with the postfix '_PK' and '_FK' to distinguish between primary and foreign keys). With this current structure we have been entering the instrument readings into those two tables with a domain on the 'STATION_ID' so the relate works correctly no matter how the records are added. This works perfectly for our web apps and in ArcMap. We've also used collector to add related records but it really isn't an ideal way to enter data like this. So it would seem that a form-centric approach like Survey123 would be perfect for the purpose of adding records to our related tables. Essentially what i'm envisioning: User brings tablet to the sample site. They load up Survey123 and select 'AirQuality Field Inspection' Select which Sample Site they're at from a drop down list (in this case there's only 4) Fill out the form with the instrumentation data and possibly add a photo attachment of site conditions. Return to the office and submit the survey data. Our related tables would then have the latest data from the field available immediately on our internal Web GIS Applications and related to the appropriate sample site. I understand that support for adding to existing feature classes in a federated environment with an enterprise geodatabase is coming. But I'm curious if this sort of situation where were simply putting new rows into a table is on the horizon too? If anyone is in a similar situation I'm curious if you've found a workaround or alternate solution to this. Thanks, -Kurtis ... View more
