" You can use whatever you want for the prefix- that was put in place just to decrease the likelihood that an existing table would be getting overwritten by the script." Is there a way to disable this? I want the results to go into an existing table, e.g, we might change the name of the survey from year to year, or want to pump multiple surveys (same schema, different workgroups) into the same table.  ...

CartoDB allows direct export to a SQLite table, so this concept isn't exactly new. ... View more

"Why is there no Servers folder in the Catalog pane by default?". I've wondered about that myself. It definitely adds more time, and slows up your workflow, when you have to add that one-time-use server that isn't part of a template or a favorite. In Arc Catalog, "Add ArcGIS Server" is right there.   ... View more

This was pretty handy in Arc Map, unclear as to why it would have been left out in Pro, or why all the extra steps. Be sure to vote on https://community.esri.com/ideas/13398-fit-to-margins-in-arcgis-pro ... View more

Yes, I was able to add Mapbox tiles to an AGOL map, then open the map in Pro. But there is no direct way to add tiles as a layer to a Pro map, which is an unfortunate lack of a feature (can't do it in Arc either, to be fair). ... View more

Many folks will not have access to the download files in My ESRI if the org is big enough.

Tripp, I think the universal issue in this an other "performance" threads, is, we're not seeing these issues doing the same thing with the same data sources using Arc Map. And how realistic is "putting Pro on a Virtual Desktop Machine"? ... View more

There is a bug on this, the workaround is to (re)publish to root, then move the item to the folder, same problem with AGOL, but I don't see this being fixed, developers hate spaces, so do I, but they're what I inherited....., with that said, Arc can (re)publish to folders with spaces, so.....equivalency issue? ...

Hmmmmm. I think ESRI is under the mistaken impression that all users are going to have the admin rights necessary to hit that update button, when the opposite is the reality. I think IT subscribes to the release updates because they mysteriously don't answer the phone around the same time. In a future world, by the time we get SP.X installed (1 year after release), SP.Y and Z have been released. I'd like to be in a scenario where I just wait for Z, and roll up X and Y in the process. If that's no longer the case, that goes against what most software producers practice. Can you imagine if you have to install every SQL CU in ordinal order?  I'm also under the naïve impression that I'm going to be able to roll Pro out using one of those magic deployment tools (my fault, not ESRI's, I've never gotten that to work). So your install says 2.1.2, but can you tell if the 2.1.1 fixes got applied? ... View more
