Yesterday, ArcGIS Pro 3.2 was released. This release was an absolute blockbuster for ideas. In total, the Pro product team implemented nearly 120 user ideas in ArcGIS Pro 3.2! Collectively, these ideas had over 1,500 kudos, making these implemented ideas some of our most popular of all time in Esri Community. 

To celebrate the implementation of these ideas, I have created an overview video highlighting about 70 of the ideas implemented in this release of ArcGIS Pro.  While not all ideas made it into the video, all ideas implemented in this release are included in the below text, with hyperlinks to the original idea. Any idea with a video demo will also have a timestamp that hyperlinks to the demo in the compilation video. 

Without further ado, here are your ideas in ArcGIS Pro 3.2!

With the ArcGIS Online update on December 8, the team incorporated a number of ArcGIS Ideas. Check out the list below for the details.

 

Map Viewer

The updates to Map Viewer incorporated a lot of customer ideas - from new functionality such as Arcade expressions for cluster pop-ups and dynamic GeoJSON layers to features such as HTML in pop-ups and zoom to selected features that bring Map Viewer even closer to parity with Map Viewer Classic. Below is the full list of Map Viewer ideas at this update.

 

Adding GeoJSON layers from a URL to Map Viewer

You can now add GeoJSON layers from a URL to Map Viewer. This means that any updates made to the GeoJSON layer will appear in the web map. This has been a highly requested feature and has a couple of associated ideas. 

Peter_Klingman_0-1641332194260.png

Ideas:

 

Attribute table enhancements

You can now zoom to features that are selected in the attribute table. This is an improved implementation of the same functionality in Map Viewer Classic. 

zoom_to_idea.gif

Ideas:

 

Pop-up

At the December '21 update, you can now edit the source HTML in pop-ups and leverage an expanded array of supported tags and attributes.

html_popup.gif

Ideas:

 

You can also return rich text, charts, and lists of fields directly from an Arcade expression. When you add an Arcade element, the Arcade editor provides templates of the three different outputs that you can return for direct use in the pop-up. 

arcade_popup.gif

Ideas:

 

Lastly, you can now utilize Arcade expressions in cluster pop-ups. The below image showcases the new global, $aggregatedFeatures, used to access the features in the cluster, and the function Expects, which enables requesting only fields that are needed in the expression. 

Peter_Klingman_0-1641341261627.png

Ideas:

 

Hosted Feature Layers

At the December '21 update there is improved credit estimation, warning, and prevention (if amount of credits consumed will exceed budget) for geocoding jobs when publishing hosted feature layers from within ArcGIS Online. Creating hosted feature layers in ArcGIS Online has also been improved to reflect the most common types of layers created, allow for more flexibility for sublayers, and provide a prompt to finish setting up the layer's schema.

Ideas:

 

ArcGIS Dashboards

The highlight for the ArcGIS Dashboards update is a new table element. This has been a top-requested feature and there are several different ideas that are implemented with this addition. 

Ideas:
