Thank you for all the feedback we have received on the 17.1.0 release! We very much appreciate your comments - we are hearing you and working on updates now. We want to get fixes out quickly, so will be releasing with the first set of them very soon, and then continuing to work to address others as quickly as we can. The first update, 17.1.1, is expected to be available next week. It will include the issues listed below. Most of these are available to test in beta now, others will be coming in a beta update on Monday: BUG-000106474—Can't see sublayers in the Layers list, or toggle sublayer visibility. BUG-000106478, BUG-000106507—Hyperlinks appear as text and URLs aren't clickable in the pop-up. BUG-000106475—Feature search fails when searching sublayers. [17.1.1 Beta 2] BUG-000106698—Map search settings aren't honored, including disabling search in the app if Find Locations is disabled in the map. Improved performance when searching, identifying, and dropping pins on the map. [17.1.1 Beta 1 for dropping pins, Beta 2 for identify and search improvements] Search results should list features before places. Improve sorting of maps in the Maps browse screen: sorting by title shouldn't be case sensitive, sorting by date shouldn't put oldest maps first. IWA Portals aren't being remembered in the list of recent portals. Support deep linking to Box with box:// and boxapp:// schemas. Explorer 17.1.1 Beta - you can request access to the betas for 17.1.1 by emailing [email protected]. As this is a new beta program, you'll need to request access even if you participated in the beta program for 17.1.0.  We are also working on another update, 17.1.2, to address more of your feedback. Although not final yet, here is a tentative list of what we plan to include: BUG-000106480—Pop-ups for map services are not consistently displaying values when the field alias is different from the field name.  Note: We tried to get a fix for this into 17.1.1, but could only get a partial fix for map services hosted on ArcGIS Server 10.5 or later, and we didn't have a fix for earlier versions of ArcGIS Server. We have decided to wait and make sure we fix this properly, which unfortunately will take a bit longer. In the meantime, you can try one of the following workarounds: Republish your service so that the field names and field aliases match. Add the layer to the map using the FeatureServer endpoint instead of the MapServer endpoint. For example, https://myserver.com/arcgis/rest/services/MyService/FeatureServer instead of https://myserver.com/arcgis/rest/services/MyService/MapServer. Add the layer to the map using the full URL to the map service layer ID instead of the URL for the MapServer endpoint. For example, including the /0 for https://myserver.com/arcgis/rest/services/MyService/MapServer/0. BUG-000106721—Maps with uploaded shapefiles that contain a z-value don't load Correctly format dates and coded value domains in pop-ups when the field name and alias don't match. Certain layers not displaying and instead showing an exclamation mark beside the layer in the Layers list. Support attachments on map services. Current Workaround: Add the feature service to the map instead of the map service. Improve the speed maps open Preserve the last open map when working without signing in Support using multiple fields in custom attribute displays Honor scale visibility when identifying Identify on tile layers Support for CSV layers through a URL The following are also being discussed and evaluated right now, although no time frame has been determined: BUG-000106841—Add groups to the browsing experience Bring back the magnifier BUG-000106539—Support for sharing a map with others in your organization Thank you for your feedback and our deepest apologies for any problems the 17.1.0 release has caused you.  Explorer team ...

We are excited to announce that Workforce for ArcGIS is now fully supported with ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1! Workforce is a stand-alone setup that you will need to download from the MyEsri website. Once you sign in to MyEsri, navigate to the Downloads section and click on Apps. There you can quickly search for Workforce and find the installer. Before installing Workforce on top of ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1, please ensure that you have configured a hosting data store as Workforce writes project contents to it. Once installed, simply navigate to: https://host.domain.com/webadaptor/apps/workforce (where host, domain, and webadaptor are replaced by the information about your portal) to create your first Workforce project! For more information about ArcGIS Enterprise configuration for Workforce, please read our documentation topic. Workforce Team ... View more

On June 5 th , we released a new version of Collector that is now available in the iTunes App Store, Google Play, Amazon App Store and the Windows Store. This is a minor update but adds some strategic new enhancements that will improve the way you work with high accuracy GPS receivers, manage attachments, work with basemaps and use Collector in a connected environment. GPS Averaging –  can be used to improve the precision of your high-accuracy collection workflows. You can capture a number of positions and create a location from the average of those positions. Rename Media Attachments -  now you can provide a meaningful name to the photos that you take around a feature. This is one of the most requested enhancements. SD card support (Android) -  you can use the SD card to store and manage basemaps for easier, faster deployment of data. Continuous Collect Improvements -  now supporting feature types that contain relationship classes. Layer Refresh Support -  if your feature layers have a layer refresh interval set, Collector will honor the refresh setting. This is valuable when working with maps in a connected state as the graphics of a feature are cached when on the device and this will force a query/update. In addition to these updates, we have several additional bug fixes and minor stability improvements. Please refer to our documentation website for more information. The Collector Team ... View more

During a recent EGUG Birds of a Feather webcast, Kurt Towler from Sulfer Springs Valley Electric Cooperative (SSVEC), presented on how they used Collector for ArcGIS with Eos Positioning GNSS receivers to inspect 7,640 locations, capture over 34,000 asset records in just 32 days. That's 235 collections per day! Paired to the Eos Arrow receiver, their median accuracy was 4.6 cm, dramatically improving the accuracy and currency of their data. The webinar was recorded and uploaded to YouTube. You can view it here: ... View more
