Hello - One of our students is receiving an error message with Business Analyst. Below is a description of the problem and the error message.    I receive an error message when attempting to save a layer. The layer contains census tract/block groups and 1-10 locations. I ran a suitability analysis with variables from the GIS database, and attempted to save the layer. I received the error message "an error occurred with project data." Additionally, when I added points of interest to my base map and attempted to save the new points of interest as a layer, I received the same error message as before. The project previously allowed me to save several other suitability analyses as layers.  Appreciate any suggestions on how to best help this student.   ... View more

I'd like to add the GIS day Events that are displayed on the map on https://www.gisday.com/en-us/overview as a feature layer on my own map so that I can filter online and hybrid events. Last year I was able to search for and find the feature layer for the 2022 GIS day Events. Are the 2023 Events that were created from Survey123 Event Registration publicly available as a feature layer? ... View more

Hello! Reaching out to my T3Gers for some assistance. A colleague of mine asked me a question: I'm contemplating some research options for my students in GEOG 355. I like giving them some options. One option that I was thinking about involved having students pick an ethnic enclave in the US and then use GIS to map out supermarkets to see if there are potential food deserts. The problem is I'm not sure if there's a layer that exists for this or how they would go about finding the data to map.   Another idea that I had involved having them map environmental hazards in an ethnic community as well. Again, I'm not sure if there are layers that show air or water pollution, or the location of (former) waste/toxic dumps.   I've responded with the following:   Please check the maps I shared with you in ArcGIS Online: https://arcg.is/1b448f0 Related resource for Food Deserts & GIS: https://wisconsin.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/psu10sci.vid.geospatial.fooddeserts/geospatial-revolution-food-deserts/ I'm not sure if this would be helpful in relation to environmental hazards: https://www.epa.gov/eco-research/ecoregions   I will also point them to the geoinquiries, although I'm not sure any of the geoinquiries specifically address what they are hoping to do. I'm wondering if anyone else has additional resources/lessons/layers that you think would be helpful here.   Thanks in advance! ... View more

I'm serving on a COVID-19 response team at my institution. I'll be working with our HR & Health dept. to develop a process for students/staff to self-report symptoms. Survey 123 seems ideal, but what would be even better would be if we had ArcGIS Indoors working & had our dorms mapped. This is something we wanted to do years ago during H1N1. Any suggestions on "how to get started quickly"? I'm thinking one suggestion would be, leverage the help of an area GIS expert to see if they would do some volunteer work to help us get this rolling. I'm pretty sure I could get CAD files of the dorms. ... View more

I thought I saw somewhere recently that the 5-step geographic inquiry process: ask, acquire, explore, analyze, act, had been simplified to a 3-step process: ask, explore, act. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks! ... View more

Are there any "auto" fields for #Survey123 that can be used? For example . . . I'm looking for a drop-down field that asks users to select a State from the US. I'd rather not type in all of the states. Does this already exist that I could use?# ... View more
