My adventures into the Address Data Management Solution has turned in an adventure into Arcade and attribute rules as well. As I make my way through various online resources, I'm struck by the lack of specific spaces that seem like no-brainers to me.  For example:

  • When setting up a Tech Support case in My ESRI, there is no specific category for Arcade
  • Here in Geonet there is no specific space for Arcade (although there a couple Python related ones)
  • There is no Arcade specific space in the Ideas page
  • The online help seems to be written for an audience with much more experience with the language than the average ESRI user

I have had numerous interactions with Xander Bakker‌ and Chris Fox‌ (both from ESRI) that have been extremely helpful, and gentlemen, please know how much help you've been and how much I appreciate it.  However, moving forward, for Arcade to gain traction and be more useful for those of us just exploring it, existing online resources need to be improved and/or expanded

That should just about do it....

Our shop is 100% ArcGIS Pro, and we'd like to develop a data collaboration consortium with other agencies.  Not sure where the other potential members are in migration process. 

That should just about do it....
