Hi Venus, The extent on searches is not set by the default extent on your site. Instead, it moves to encompass the extent of all your results' bounding boxes. It's possible that one of your items has an incorrect extent and that is causing the map to move to a place that doesn't make sense. Does that help? ... View more

Hi Malcolm, Thanks for posting your ideas! As far as drawing areas, we're cooking up better support for image services so you'll see a lot easier ability to download areas your interested. For vector data, we haven't really thought about allowing the users to filter by a drawn rectangle. We'll ping this off a few other folks and see if there's broader support for that functionality. We'd also love to have the updated date show the actual date of the data. It turns out to be a pretty tough problem, unfortunately. However, we've got some improvements coming down the line that will leverage editor tracking. The best thing you can do to help us with that is turn that feature on for all the layers you are serving in Open Data. Here's some help on that topic: ArcGIS Help 10.1 ... View more

Hi C E, we'll be turning on Smart Mapping very soon. We decided to wait to release these features, and a couple others just as soon as we give you the ability to turn them off! That's coming up in our next major release. We can't "smap" all the fields in every dataset. We may not be able to perform statistics on them or they may have too many unique values. But you're absolutely right that this in unclear. We'll work on making that better. Daniel ... View more

Hi Amanda, I just wanted to check in and make sure you're getting the support you need. Please let me know if you need to have this escalated to the Open Data team. Daniel Fenton Product Engineer | Open Data ... View more

Hi Justin, as I mentioned in the other issue, the problem was most likely a temporary error in the host server or in the Open Data infrastructure. If you can point out specific downloads that fail, we'd be happy to take a look. ... View more

Hi Justin, When you see a message that says: there was an error processing this download, it is NEVER a browser issue. Instead, there was either a problem with the host GIS Server or with the Open Data infrastructure. We don't have a limit on download size and we work hard to make sure all datasets are downloadable. ... View more

Yes, but what is the name of the service? ... View more

Chris, Can you add a Try/ Except block around the res = agol.addItem... line of code? In the except block it would be useful to Print serviceLayer.name. That will help us debug what's being sent over to AGOL. ... View more

Oh I see. That was actually something we never intended. However there is supposed to be a /datasets?group_id= parameter that does not appear to be working in the UI or documented. I'll get right on both. ... View more

Can you share the search that is no longer working? Check out this post to see how to link to datasets by tag: Tip: How to control search results on your Open Data site We hear you loud and clear. We're working on batch editing within the admin section of Open Data. We'll be sharing what we learn with the ArcGIS Online core team. ... View more

Hi Erik, I'm sorry you are struggling this. Having a license is not a requirement, per se, for sharing your data. As you should be able to see, the datasets are currently available on your site. However, in order for your end users to make the best use of your data, they will need to know what their constraints are. That is why we warn you when your datasets do not have license information. Warnings are distinguished from errors in that datasets will still appear on your site, although they could be improved. We also understand your frustration with a lack of batch tools for this process, that is why we have developed and will soon be releasing a tool for you to choose a default license for all the datasets on your site. You will be able to choose one of the following Creative Commons licenses: CC0, CC-By, CC-By-SA, CC-By-NC CC-SA-NC CC-By-SA-NC You can read about those licenses here: About The Licenses - Creative Commons. Will one of these licenses fit your needs? Daniel Fenton Product Engineer | Open Data ... View more

Hi Chris, There were some changes to search, but you will see this specific change go away very shortly. However, if you want to strictly control your searches then I recommend changing that canned URL you have to a keyword query. Instead of q=marine ecosystems -> keyword=marine ecosystems. This will bring up an exact search for everything tagged marine ecosystems. Just curious, are you still seeing the most relevant search results come up on top and then seeing extra results below, or something different? Daniel ... View more

Glad you like it! It's feedbacks from folks like yourself on this forum that led to us implementing it. So please keep up the communication. Daniel ... View more
