Edit Features Enable/Disable on Content Menu

KevinEarl1 — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:50:17 GMT

I just wanted to suggest to whomever controls the Content Menu creation of ArcGIS online that it would be a great idea if I didn't have to go into every feature service for one map and disable them one by one. If you created an enable/disable editing column in the content menu, that would be awesome. I have a map with several feature services in it and I have to go into every one to disable editing for publishing. Pain. I'm just throwing it out there. What do you think?

You can disable editing when you share your service. It will automatically disable editing for every layer.

I'm sorry. Where? Oh. No I mean, I have several feature services for one map. When I create an app I have to go to each one and disable edits.

If you edit the feature service item in "my content" you can disable editing on the feature service as a whole. Note that disabling editing in a particular web map does not disable editing on the feature service. The feature service will still be editable by other clients, or in other web maps.

Thanks,
