Hi James, You can use a python function for the label expression to change your date format. Click on the Expression button on the Label properties then: Select your date field. Check the Advanced option Change the Parser option to Python Copy and paste the python function (below) into the expression Change the input datetime format if required (in the example this is '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S %p') Change the output format if required (in the example this is '%d, %b %Y') Click Verify to test and OK to apply Python function for the label expression: from datetime import datetime def FindLabel ( [TestDate] ): d = datetime.strptime([TestDate], '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S %p') return d.strftime('%d, %b %Y') A list of format strings is available here: 8.1. datetime — Basic date and time types — Python 2.7.8 documentation Hope this helps.

From ArcGIS Help 10.1: A spatial reference identifier (SRID) is a unique identifier associated with a specific coordinate system, tolerance, and resolution. My guess is that the layers have the same coordinate system but may differ slightly in tolerance or resolution. Also, the geometry type may be influencing the SRID: Some databases and spatial types, such as PostGIS geometry in PostgreSQL or the geography type in SQL Server, use a predefined subset of EPSG codes, and only spatial references with those SRIDs can be used. Melita Kennedy‌ is the go to person at ESRI for anything to do with coordinate systems and may be able to provide some more information.

The error indicates that this.map has not been defined at the time the addGraphic function runs. Is the function being called before the map is created? You may need to check if this.map is undefined before calling the addGraphic function. You could also look into the map load event and define your button click handlers after the map loads.

Clip to Graphics Output - basically trims the output area to the minimum extent of graphics (data frames, text, etc) on your layout. This will remove any whitespace around your content in the page layout. Compress Vector Graphics - simplifies the PDF vector features to reduce the amount of data required to display them. In a simple test this reduced a 124KB PDF to 78KB without any noticeable difference in the line quality. Image Compression - the type of compression you want for imagery in the PDF. Use None for best quality but large file size. There is more information on some of the options. Picture Symbol - this only applies if you use a picture marker or fill symbol. This option tells ArcMap how to export the marker or fill in the PDF (as raster or vector content). Convert Marker Symbols to Polygons - not exactly sure how this works. I generally find that it takes a bit of testing to find the optimum settings for each map.

Check out the Elevation Server Object Extension | Applications Prototype Lab. I worked on a project a few years ago that implemented this to provide elevation profiles using a custom DEM.

If you are starting a new site and have no legacy apps then definitely go with HTML/JavaScript.

The original X and Y values shown in your table are stored as attributes. The geometry of each feature is stored in the Shape. When you use calculate geometry the values from the shape are inserted into the attribute table. If the geometries are moved during editing or projected after adding the X and Y values then the new CALX and CALCY values will be different.

The MxGPS‌ Add-In can connect to a Garmin GPS directly from within ArcMap and it can also apply a datum transformation for any of the supported coordinate systems in ArcGIS, for example: Otherwise, you could project your data to WGS84 before transferring it using DNRGarmin.

Perfect timing with the blog post - but possibly not the response that Chris would like: At this point, we have no plans to release Xamarin bindings for our native APIs.

A the bottom of my post there should be an attachment with a file Footpaths.zip. In case there is some issue and it is not visible the file is here: https://community.esri.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/398901-71059/Footpaths.zip

Have you checked your firewall settings to ensure that access to 6080 is allowed? See also - ArcGIS Help 10.1

The type of insurance will generally depend on which countries you intend to operate in and your clients requirements. In Australia, we have professional indemnity insurance which I am assuming is similar to omissions and errors insurance. There is also public and products liability insurance. Most insurers will package both into a single policy. Also, GIS should fall into the IT classification. Make sure that your policy covers products and services - as there can be a blurred distinction between the two in the IT industry. The best place to start would be talking to a local IT insurance broker as they would know the specific details for your area. Also, ask clients or potential clients what requirements they have regarding insurance coverage.

Check this source for this modified ESRI sample on JS Bin - Picture Marker Symbol‌ This uses the new AMD style of loading modules instead of the old dojo.require() style. See this page for more information Dojo and AMD | Guide | ArcGIS API for JavaScript‌

If you are using the ESRI JS API - check out the Token based authentication section on the secure services help section. You may need to use the Identity Manager so check out the samples. If you are using ajax with the REST API the token should be added to the request URL. See the ArcGIS REST API‌ page for more information.

I would agree with Riyas that multiple schemas within same database is a good option. From a practical perspective, I have worked for big agencies that put everything into a single schema and it becomes a real pain for users to locate data - even when you know what layer you are after. Imaging the ArcMap Add Data dialog with 500+ data sets listed. This also slows things down when just listing the data for remote network users. The ability to search your data using metadata becomes critical with a large number of data sets so make sure metadata gets factored into your design.
