There is one other option that may or may not be viable for you. A hosted feature layer can have editing disabled, but any administrator in the organization can open the layer with full editing control from the item page of the feature layer (open button). I haven't set this up myself, but you can create a custom role in the organization with limited administrative privileges, which would allow the editors to edit the data, but not, for example, delete other members of the organization. With the fact that the feature layer effectively has editing disabled, any viewing of the layer by non administrators and the public will not allow editing. We do hear what you're asking for. It is a project under active development. Thanks for your patience. Mike ... View more

There is an option to disable editing on layers inside a web map. This option is meant primarily for layers, such as shapefiles, that have been uploaded and stored directly in the map (and not as an item in my content). Lindsey, you are correct in saying that if you have a hosted feature layer and editing is enabled on it, disabling it with the option inside the map will only prevent edits from within that particular map. If you add the layer to another map, it would be editable. In order to disable editing on a feature layer, you have to do it from the item itself, by editing the item details of the feature layer. Then it will not be editable via a map or programmatically via REST calls. The current solution in a pure hosted environment is to create a matching tile layer published with your feature layer. This is not an optimal solution because the tiles will quickly become out of date as edits are made, and you will need to recreate the tiles. We are currently working to better support this scenario in the hosted environment, where organizations want public access to view the layer, but limited editing access. If you have your own ArcGIS Server, you can publish a map service with features access enabled. The public map would reference the map service, while those that need editing would access the features. Thanks, Mike ... View more

The items posted to the feedback maps are periodically reviewed by a group of people. No basemap feedback is reviewed more frequently than others. Here's our general process: Esri reviews the feedback to determine the source of the data issue and how best to address the problem.  If the source is from one of our commercial vendors, we report the issues back to them. All feedback is vetted by Esri and/or the data vendor to ensure correctness. Thus, not all feedback will result in a change in the data. If a change is required, it may take one or more delivery cycles from the data vendor for the change to be incorporated. Once Esri receives updated data, we periodically update our basemaps with the new data. We encourage you to be as complete as possible in your feedback and to include your contact information so that we may contact you with any questions.  Vague or incomplete feedback is difficult to summarize into a correction note and may not get submitted for a fix. thanks, Mike ...

You can just report the issue once. Several basemaps utilize the same underlying source data, so it will be fixed across basemaps. Thanks Mike ... View more

Yes, you can. This post has information to help you. Viewing ArcGIS Online Web Maps on Mobile Devices‌ Thanks, Mike ... View more

Essentially, you want images to be small, and thus quick to load. In the popup window of ArcGIS.com, images are scaled to fit 200x150 pixels. As an alternative to displaying images in popups you might consider trying one of our StoryMaps web apps that allow you to add pictures and display them larger, not within a popup, but within the context of the application.

The issue is the Esri world traffic layer, it requires an organizational account; thus requires someone to sign in. This note is in the description of the layer: The World Traffic map service is available for users with an ArcGIS Online organizational subscription. To access this map layer, you'll need to sign in with an account that is a member of an organizational subscription. At the present time, you can't use this layer in a public map. We are working on ways to allow organizations to include this layer in public maps and accept the credit cost of public usage. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Sanne, The likely problem is that one or more items are not shared publicly, and thus the app prompts the user to sign in. So, when you build an application that you want to view publicly, all components that make up the application must be shared publicly. This includes: Any layers that are items added to your My Content. The web map itself. The application you created. thanks, Mike ... View more

This is a bug that is on track to be fixed in the Nov/Dec timeframe. Publishing from Desktop is the way to go until the fix goes out. Thanks, Mike ... View more

For performance reasons, we don't recommend setting the value above 2000. How to update the Max Record Count of a Feature Service in REST‌ If your goal is to just extract the data with attachments from an ArcGIS Online hosted feature layer, our recent update now supports exporting a file geodatabase of the layer with all attachments. This shouldn't require increasing the query limit on the service endpoint. Use hosted features and tiles—Help | ArcGIS‌ Thanks, Mike ... View more

Currently, there are no plans for increased automation of content transfer and user removal. We have a general solution that works (although laborious) across different types of organizations. Admittedly, an organization representing a school has slightly different requirements because students come and go in groups, whereas people leave in smaller numbers in other types of organizations; thus, the transfer of user content is more easily managed. However, I can see the merits of having some bulk ownership transfer of items and groups to a single user. I don't think we'll ever allow a choice to just delete all content in bulk. We are intentionally conservative in this respect because we don't want admins accidentally deleting content without reviewing it, because there is no undo. I will write up bulk transferring of ownership as an enhancement. However, as we have a working solution, there's no guarantee this will be implemented. Thanks Mike ... View more

Andrew, What is the source of the data you're editing?  If it is based on data where you have domains set up (i.e., published from ArcGIS Desktop), then the  order comes from the order the domains were created. There is a desktop tool to reorder domains, called sort coded value domains. ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)‌ This sorting would have to be done before publishing the data to ArcGIS Online or your own ArcGIS Server. There is no ability to sort these values in the map viewer of ArcGIS Online. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Brooke, Yes, if you can generate a shapefile and share it, that would be great. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Brooke, It could be something different. Can you share the empty shapefile that was causing the error so we can reproduce the problem? Thanks, Mike ... View more

Kara, There is nothing in the roles you need to adjust. Roles don't control access to items. If you want people in a group to be able to see your web application, you need to make sure the web application and the items the web application references are also shared to the group. This includes the web map and any hosted layers the web map might include. Thanks, Mike ... View more
