Hi Rene, ... Is there a page where we can see what we submitted? Or will it just warn us that the link was already submitted? ... Currently, we don't have a Web page that shows which widgets have been submitted for the competition. When we open up voting, we'll have a compiled list of all the widget entries. After you've submitted a widget for the competition, you should receive a confirmation email. As this is the first day, there may be a slight delay. 🙂 Additionally, if you followed the submission steps, you should have tagged your widget item with the word "challenge". You can do a quick search in the Viewer code gallery for "challenge" and filter for widgets to verify that you're entry was made. Hi Robert, ... the issue is that the the http://www.esri.com/events/devsummit/pdfs/widget-instructions.pdf has what looks like clickable links to the the entry form, code gallery, etc. But they are not actual hyperlinks. Thanks for catching this. We are working on correcting the links and updating the doc. Good luck to both of you and thanks for participating, ... View more

Hi Robert, I believe the widget submission entry form is live now: Submit Your Widget to the Flex-A-Widget Challenge (FYI: this is linked from the competition homepage) Is it not working for you? ... View more

Hi Drew, As long as the widget works with the 2.2 Viewer release, it should be fine. We strongly recommend that you thoroughly document your widget entry on its details page and in an associated ReadMe file, so others can understand how to use it. After all, the winner will be decided by public voting. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Nasif, Query layers enable you to retrieve spatial data from a database as read-only layers. They don't support updating existing feature classes. If the data for your pump stations was also contained in the database, then yes, query layers will enable you to have that data "updated" each time the SQL query was executed. Hope this helps, ...

Hi Timothy, At this time, there is no "perfect" solution for using the CASE/UML data model approach for designing geodatabase schemas. There are a few developer samples such as: ArcGIS Diagrammer 9.2/9.3 Geodatabase Diagrammer for ArcGIS 9 Please also review this help topic: A note about the use of UML for geodatabase design Hope this helps, ...

Hi Mads, Great question. Unfortunately, the terminology used in the official rules for the competition is a little confusing. In the quote you reference:   "Contest Period: Widget Sample(s) may be submitted after   9:00 a.m. Pacific standard time (PST) on Friday, January 14, 2011, and must be received no later than   5:00 p.m. PST Friday, February 25, 2011 ("Contest Period").   Widget Sample(s) received before or after these dates and times will not be considered. Widget Sample(s) is considered received when accepted by Sponsor." The term "Widget Sample(s)" really means "widget competition entry form" and not the actual submission/upload of the widget(s) onto the Viewer code gallery. So, widgets that are already available on the Viewer code gallery can be entered into the competition, as long as the "widget competition entry form" is submitted within the time period specified by the official rules. Does that make sense? FYI: The Flex-A-Widget Challenge official rules FYI 2: Due to technical difficulties on our end, "widget competition entry forms" cannot be submitted today. We will start accepting widget entry forms starting Wednesday Janurary 19th, 2011. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Timothy, What is the hyperlink that allows me to specifically download CASE Tools for use in Visio 2003 with ArcGIS 9.3.1? To be clear, you need to have a software license of MS Visio 2003/2007. You would create your own UML model (as a Visio diagram) that defines the schema of a geodatabase. You can get the ArcInfo UML template file from the first link in my previous post: Building Geodatabases with CASE Tools (under the Support Files section > ArcInfo UML model template) Or you could edit an existing data model. When you've finished your Visio diagram, you can import it into an empty geodatabase in ArcCatalog with the Schema Wizard tool - which is available in ArcCatalog, from the Customize dialog > Commands tab > Case Tools category. You will have to add the Schema Wizard tool to the UI. Hope this helps, ... View more
