Content Item Limit in Open Data?

DavidColey — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 15:47:25 GMT

Hello - does anyone know if there is an item count limit for pdf documents in groups that have the Open Data setting enabled from the Group Settings page in ArcGIS Online?

I have a Planning Documents group that contains about 1400 pdf files. The Open Data designation is set so the group can appear in our Open Data stie. Yet since last week sometime, the pdf content files no longer appear in our Open Data site.

I have a second group that contains about 130 pdf documents with the same group settings applied, and those documents appear in our Open Data site.

Thanks

There is no limit on the number of items. There are Hub site with 10k+ items. The Living Atlas is a single group.

You also don't need to use the "Open Data enabled" flag anymore. That is only used for the Global Hub site at https://hub.arcgis.com

I suspect there is a different issue of the Group sharing access + visibility, or the catalog configuration of your site.

If you can share your Site URL - I can take a quick look. Otherwise, a support request would be able to dive in deeper.

Thank you for the reply @AndrewTurner -

I see the group as visible in my Hub workspace for our Open Data Site located at:

https://data-sarco.opendata.arcgis.com

The group is designated in ArcGIS Online for the Group Settings as:

"Allow this group to be accessed in Open Data sites." checked on.

In the hub workspace, I do not see the 1,327 pdf files as part of the 'Content':

I do however see the pdf content when I toggle down to the Groups:

so as you can see here, this Group which participates in the Open Data site contains 1,327 pdf documents thus far, yet no longer shows this content in the Open Data Site....

Thanks for your assistance...

Hello @AndrewTurner - FYI began a support case for this issue caseNumber=04116030 for our org County of Sarasota 16502. Initial tests with support did not yield any changes.... that is, we tried adding a new group through online and enabling open data, added a pdf doc to that group, and while everything reads as it should through Hub workspaces and in the Content Catalog, the document contained in the newly-added group does not appear in the Open Data front-end...

So it turns out that since sometime around December of 2025 - for any new group I create and enable 'Open Data' access for our org, none of the content - regardless of type - is visible to the Open Data site, again regardless of whether or not I can see the content in the workspaces>Groups.

So the only content that is visible is what is contained in our older groups. If I can't add and remove groups from Open Data, then we are in trouble.
