@ waukegan Thanks for the suggestion! We'll consider adding this value for a future release. To help with your implementation of the Local Government Information Model, please keep in mind that the provided values in FCode (and all the domains used in the local government information model) are not meant to a complete list of possibilities, although we do try to cover the most common values. Feel free to add and remove values from these domains as necessary to make them work for your organization. If you come accross values like these that you feel would be beneficial to other organizations and should be part of the delivered values, this is a great place to submit those ideas, so thanks! -Allison ArcGIS for Local Government ...

Hi Jordan & MaryAnn, I've played around with this app and cannot find a way to make the URLs live in the popups for point features. Even when the link is live in ArcMap, this does not seem to translate over to the app's popups. I've submitted an enhancement request as an issue in the app's github repository to add this functionality in a future release of the app. -Allison ... View more

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! I've submitted a request to have this modification included in a future release of this app. -Allison ... View more

Hi Yichi, Even though you're on 10.1, use the 10.2 version of Park and Recreation Finder. The 10.1 version has been retired because it used a routing service that was retired earlier this year. For more information see the related blog post The 10.2 version of this ap and the associated help can be found here The 'do you need the data model' question is difficult to answer because it really depends on how closely your current data scheme matches that of the LGIM. In theory, no, you don't NEED to use the LGIM, but you'll need to do some more extreme configuration that would otherwise be unnecessary. Open up the config.js file for the app and take a look at the fields that are used, then open up the map documents that are included in the download and look at the properties of those fields. If you can supply the app with equivalent fields, there's no NEED to use the LGIM, but you'll need to make sure that config.js uses your field names rather than the LGIM field names. If you can't give the app those fields you will likely run into difficulties. -Allison ... View more

Hi Brian, You are on the right track. The LGIM is a data model designed to allow organizations to easily leverage our suite of maps and apps. As well as providing the fields required by the many maps and apps we've built on top of the LGIM (I'll come back to this later), we've included fields for the related data we thought most of our users would need, expecting that some modifications would be required on an organization-by-organization basis. ModelBuilder is a great tool to help with this. As correctly detailed in your hypothetical situations: - Your organization may have data to fill all of these fields, or it may not. [INDENT]This is expected and OK. You are correct when you state that it is better to leave these empty fields in the LGIM.[/INDENT] - Your organization's data may fit entirely within the structure of the LGIM, or you may have additional data you'd like to include. [INDENT]This is also expected and OK. If you have a good business case for including this additional data, add the fields to the information model. If you think that this is information that other organizations would also like to have included, post it on ideas.arcgis.com. We are constantly evolving the data model to accommodate new applications, but also in response to user feedback on its structure.[/INDENT] The one additional recommendation that I have is to drive your migration using the maps and apps that will be leveraged by your organization. The path we recommend to get started is to identify one or several of our maps and apps and begin your data migration as part of implementing these applications rather than undertaking the data migration to the full LGIM as a single massive project all on it's own. Once those apps are ready to go, find others that would benefit your organization, and repeat 🙂 -Allison ... View more

The app configuration file (\Application\ParksFinder\js\config.js) contains a section that controls which icons appear with which activities. For example:     Activities: [{         FieldName: "${RESTROOM}",         Alias: "Restrooms Available",         Image: "images/restrooms.png",         isSelected: true     }, The field RESTROOM will display with the name 'Restrooms Available' and the icon located in the directory 'images/restrooms.png'. It is also selected by default in the search panel (isSelected: true). -Allison ... View more

Hi Marta, If you are hosting the application on your own web server, this step is not necessary, but if you'd like to have your modified app hosted for you in AGOL, the document you are looking for is here: https://github.com/Esri/local-government-online-apps/blob/master/doc/markdown/HowToHostAppOnOnline.md Using the workflow in this doc you will take your modified configuration and use it to create a new application template in your organization. You can then share your web map as an app using this modified template. -Allison ... View more

Hi Jacob, You'll need to configure the app to read your layers. The message you are seeing is actually telling you that it's not valid to leave the Find Layers parameter empty and it's showing you the valid layer names from your web map. Once you've filled out the Find Layers values, a similar message will appear for the Find Fields parameter until valid field names have been entered in the configuration panel.  Use the layer names as they appear in the table of contents (TOC) of your web map (and the message box you're seeing), and the field names (not aliases) from your layers (and the message box once the Find Layers have been defined). This blog post contains some good information on the configuration parameters for Finder.  -Allison ... View more

@ mmorisette At a quick glance it looks like you are referencing fields in you composite locator for the LocatorFieldValues parameter. Despite it's name, I believe that this should be a list of the acceptable locators (not fields) from your composite locator. The default values when configuring this app are "USA.StreetName", "USA.PointAddress", and "USA.StreetAddress" which are locators referenced by the World Geocode Service To illustrate this with another locator, the composite locator for Naperville provided in LocalGovernment.gdb references the DualRange, SiteAddress, PlaceName, and StreetName locators also found in LocalGovernment.gdb. If you were to set this app up to reference a geocode service published from this composite locator, any combination of "DualRange", "SiteAddress", "PlaceName", and "StreetName" would be acceptable values for the LocatorFieldValues parameter. Other locators referenced by the composite would not be used. Allison M ArcGIS for Local Government ... View more

Hi Matt, Everything in your setup looks good. The only place where I'm seeing a potential cause for that error is with Apache. The proxy we provide is written for IIS using Microsoft ASP.NET Framework 4.0. The proxy is handling signing into the group, and running this proxy under Apache is not a tested configuration. If IIS is not an option and someone in your organization has the skills, you could play around with using something like the mono project to run ASP.NET on your Apache server, but this may also require some re-writing of the proxy/application code and would take you well beyond supported configuration of the application. Cheers, Allison ... View more

Hi Jill, I'm not sure which version of the add-ins you are using, but make sure you are using the version that corresponds with your version of ArcGIS for Desktop. You can check your version of the add-ins using the Add-In Manager (Customize > Add-In Manager). PatchFinder can be used to identify exactly  which version of ArcGIS for Desktop you have installed - including service packs. Add-Ins should be uninstalled using the Add-In Manager. Once you've done this, I suggest you also remove or rename the config file before you reinstall the add-ins. The add-ins are expecting a config file called Loaded.config so renaming this file to something like 'oldLoaded.config' allows you to keep a record of any changes you have made while tricking the add-in into creating a fresh copy of Loaded.config on reinstall. The addressing tools and the Attribute Assistant share a configuration file. There are 2 ways to access the configuration file. From the Attribute Assistant toolbar click the last icon and then the Open Location button. Alternatively you can navigate directly to the location of the config. The default file paths can be found in the help. I very strongly recommend you get familiar with how these tools work using the sample data before configuring them to work against your own datasets. Check out the Address Data Management online help for some workflows that should work in the provided editing maps against the provided sample data without any further configuration. When you start to use the tools with your own data, don't forget to add the Dynamic Value Table to your map document. You may also need to update the Dynamic Value Table to point to the correct layers in your map document, or modify some of the values in the configuration file to point the tools to the correct fields in your datasets. -Allison ...

Hi Matt, What version of Executive Dashboard are you using? I see that the webmaps are public (which is good). Are the services public as well? -Allison ... View more

Hi Chris, Is your locator based on the locator from post #22 of that thread (or later)? It appears that this issue was resolved in that version, although success with the locator seems to vary depending on the structure of your data (post #49). If you are still having this issue, I suggest reply directly to to the ongoing thread in the geocoding forum. There seem to be some knowledgeable people following it, as well as others who are trying to do similar things. If you continue to have trouble with the scoring, Support may be able to help you verify that the locator is set up correctly. -Allison ... View more
