Your Ideas in the December 2020 ArcGIS Online Update

Anonymous User · ‎12-28-2020

You may have noticed that ArcGIS Online just underwent an update on December 8th, 2020! The team implemented several ArcGIS Ideas in this release - check out the list below for the details:

Mapping and Apps

You can now control which fields are editable in editable hosted feature layers/views. The documentation on this feature is here.
- Idea: Limiting Editable Fields

Arcade now has a function GetUser that returns a dictionary of information about the current user. In the example below I access the fullName value to return my name in a popup. GetUser is also supported in Attribute Rules and is available in ArcGIS Pro 2.7. Check out the full list of new Arcade functions at the 1.12 release; there are a ton of new array operations as well!
- Idea: Arcade functions for (portal) user and role.

You can now add Google analytics tracking to Configurable Apps that have migrated to the new configuration experience. This includes Attachment Viewer, Category Gallery, Interactive Legend, Media Map, Minimalist, Nearby, and Zone Lookup, as well as the new app 3D Viewer. Learn more about this feature from the Configurable Apps blog.
- Idea: Google Analytics tracking for ArcGIS.com items?

Security

At the December 2020 ArcGIS Online update, HTTPS and HSTS are enforced in ArcGIS Online.
- Idea: Enable HSTS redirects from HTTP/80 to HTTPS/443 in AGOL

Administration

At the December update, administrators can now choose to configure a list of blocked apps.
- Idea: Ability to limit apps available through App Launcher
