If a layer is based on a map service hosted by ArcGIS Server, then the labels will appear. If you only have a few labels, you could use ArcGIS Explorer Online to add text to a map notes layer. Unfortunately, adding text map notes is not currently available in the Arcgis.com map viewer. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Matthew, Your zip file has a folder in it that contains the shapefile files. There can't be any hierarchy in the zip file. Thanks, Mike ... View more

You just need to give credit to the data providers when you include your image in your thesis. Specifically, Esri and Delorme Publishing Company, Inc. Take a look at the credits section of the item. http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=d86e32ea12a64727b9e94d6f820123a2 Thanks, Mike ... View more

Here's the sentence in the documentation that applies in this case: You cannot save item properties on feature layers from CSV, TXT, GPX, or shapefiles because these layers are stored in the map and not as unique items in the website. Basically, there is no support for saving symbology for shapefiles. Thanks, Mike ... View more

What version of Desktop are you running? Map packages are supported from version 10 and up. Thanks, Mike ... View more

This help file documents our support for time layer. http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisonline/help/#/About_time_enabled_web_maps/010q0000004p000000/ Basically, ArcGIS Server map and image services and KML. Hosted services don't support this. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Can you elaborate on how you're publishing your data? Are you doing this from ArcGIS Desktop and creating a feature service? Thanks, Mike ... View more

The basemap sets the coordinate system. The coordinates of the data must be in lat/long. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Just FYI for when you get an update to ArcGIS Desktop 10.1...  The Manage Portal Connections option will be moved to the ArcGIS Administrator application, the same place you set your license. Thanks, Mike ... View more

You are correct. We made changes to the templates to support other languages. You now can't run the web application from file://, but rather it must run from your web server. Thanks, Mike ... View more

How are you connecting to your organization in ArcMap? On the sign in dialog, did you click the "Manage portal connections" link and enter the name of your organization, also using "https://..." as the URL? Thanks, Mike ... View more

This was a very interesting one. It turns out the difference is due to the type of image each client requests from your server. In the case of Explorer Online and the iPad app, they are requesting PNG24 images. ArcGIS.com requests PNG32 images. PNG32 images allow for different levels of transparency on the image and thus produce a smoother display when displayed over another image (basemap). The only thing I can suggest is to use a light color basemap, like streets instead of imagery. Your data displays better over it.  I've passed this information on to the various development teams, but this is not necessarily a bug. PNG24 images are typically smaller in size than PNG32. Thus they may have decide to sacrifice a bit of visual quality for performance, especially on mobile devices. In the second part of your question, you're adding an individual layer of the map service to the map (and filtering it). This is drawing the data in a different way. In this case, you are actually getting the actual geometry of the features and they are being drawn by the client application (like a feature service works). Thus, you've taken the image out of the equation. However, as you may have noticed, you don't get any labeling because that's part of the image. From a performance perspective, you could take a performance hit as the number of features you have to draw increases. In your case, you only have a small number of features, so the download and drawing times are small. Hope this helps, Mike ... View more

Michael, The application seems to work for me. Try aggressively clearing your browser cache (i.e., clear out all temporary files, cookies, everything for all time). Thanks, Mike ... View more
