With some python code you code do this, but the easiest way is to intersect (analysis toolbox) the polygons with the points. This will yield a new point featureclass with the field of the polygons added to the output point featureclass. What would be the influence of the box type on the output unique code? ... View more

You can do a select by location and then use the Field Calculator: ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) .. to assign a code based on a combination of a character (say "A")  and a unique number (such as in the OBJECTID field). "A_" + !OBJECTID! (python) or "A_" & OBJECTID (VB fgdb) ... View more

Maybe this site can help you: 28.1. sys — System-specific parameters and functions — Python 3.3.6 documentation Although this is 3.3 documentation, it will also work for python version 2.x or this site: 10.6. Handling command-line arguments Kind regards, Xander ... View more

Just a question; in the first code block on line 15, is the feature dataset really called "Chathamransportation" or is there a "T" missing (ChathamTransportation)? The error occurs on what line? Kind regards, Xander ... View more

I used a procedure which was vector based and consisted of the following steps: Create a buffer of the vectorized route (with a small distance, but a least 1 pixel) Create a buffer of the start and end points of the route (with a slightly larger buffer than the buffer around the route) Erease the buffer of the start and end points from the buffer of the route Use the remaining polygon to set NoData cells in the cost raster Since your source and end points are raster, you can use the expand to create a raster holding the source and destination pixels and some pixels arround them. You also need the buffer of the route (or another expand raster on the raster that holds the pixels of the route) to combine them into a new cost raster. What you want to do is create some map algebra that will do the following: When the expand of the source and destination cells is NoData, then verify if the route buffer is NoData, in that case assign the original cost raster values, else assign nodata. in case the expand source and destination cells have a value, you should assign the origina cost raster. Suppose you have the following rasters: xpnd_src_dest (raster result of appyling the expand to the source and destination cells) xpnd_route (raster result of applying the expand to the route cells) cost_ras (your original cost raster) nd_ras (a raster containing only NoData cells, I have had many problems with the SetNull function, therefore I use an alternative) The Map Algebra in the Raster Calculator would look something like: Con(IsNull("xpnd_src_dest"), Con(IsNull("xpnd_route"), "cost_ras", "nd_ras"), "cost_ras") This will yield a cost raster that you can use in the next run.

Depending on the license level of ArcGIS for Server as from 10.3 you are entitled to a number of named licenses: ArcGIS for Server Standard Enterprise - includes a license entitlement for a Level 1 Portal for ArcGIS Named User License (5 Named Users). ArcGIS for Server Advanced Enterprise - includes a license entitlement for a Level 2 Portal for ArcGIS Named User License (50 Named Users) ArcGIS for Server Standard Workgroup - includes a license entitlement for a Level 1 Portal for ArcGIS Named User License (5 Named Users). Customer can purchase one (1) additional Named User 5-pack if needed. ArcGIS for Server Advanced Workgroup - includes a license entitlement for a Level 1 Portal for ArcGIS Named User License Entitlement (5 Named Users) plus one (1) additional Named User 5-pack for a total Entitlement of 10 Named Users. See: UC Q&A | 2014 Esri User Conference Per ArcGIS for Desktop license you are entitled to 1 named user. You can decide to use it as a named user for Portal or for ArcGIS Online for Organizations. See: ArcGIS Online Entitlements Not sure, but I suppose if you publish a resource in Portal for all public (and Portal is configured to allow access from anonymous users), that those users may have access to the resource as well. To use Esri Maps for Office you need a named user. In case of Collector for ArcGIS you will probably need a named user to consume the resources you publish. Also have a look at this thread: Named Users?  and this presentation: http://proceedings.esri.com/library/userconf/devsummit-euro13/papers/dse_23.pdf Kind regards, Xander ... View more

Converting the points into a polyline, does not take into account the shortest route. It will take the order in which the points where provided. These type of questions are best solved with the Network Analyst by using the Route Analysis with multiple stops (your service points): ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) A tutorial can be found here: ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) Kind regards, Xander ...

If you have a enhancement request, you can post it on the ideas site of Esri. There are several related to Collector: http://ideas.arcgis.com/apex/ideaSearchResults?s=Collector&searchButton=search  If your request is not already listed you can add it. After creating the idea, post the link in this thread to gain more support for your idea. Esri is constantly looking at these ideas. And those that have a lot of votes may be included in a next release. Kind regards, Xander ... View more
