Linking another duplicate idea thread. We also believe this should be a simple option to set default, in both Enterprise and AGOL.  https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-ideas/set-web-maps-to-not-be-visible-in-field-maps-by/idc-p/1662162#M4357 ... View more

We were looking for a setting like this as well and were surprised it doesn't exist -- it also is not a setting in AGOL so this idea should apply to both Enterprise and ArcGIS Online.

I am fairly ignorant when it comes to how webhooks actually work on the backend, so I rely on such connectors at this point for the creation and handling of webhooks.  My personal experience over the past year was that ArcGIS Connectors too frequently have inexplicable failures and I've changed a lot of my flow actions to API calls using an HTTP actions and the ArcGIS REST API rather than rely on the built-in connectors for things like querying, updating a record, etc.  I checked my test flow again that I created previously, and it is still not receiving webhooks when a feature is created. After asking ChatGPT some instructions, I just now attempted to create a webhook receiver in power automate manually with "when an http request is received" automated trigger, but it does not receive anything either. Next, I tried making a make.com webhook receiver and it also does not receive any webhook payload when a feature is created. I also tried using the make.com Field Maps webhook connector (automatically creates webhook) and it also doesn't get a payload.  I also tried creating a webhook for a survey from hosted feature layer that I know is actively sending webhooks successfully through the Survey123 connector. That webhook I created manually with a webhook listener in power automate... does not receive a payload.  I think the Survey123 webhook payload is sent from the client, rather than from the AGOL cloud? Maybe that's why that is succeeding currently? Something ain't right. But I don't know if it has anything to do with the Power Automate government cloud necessarily since I can't get any webhook payloads delivered with external webhook receivers either (Make.com). I also could be doing this totally wrong... ... View more

Are you working with feature classes hosted in ArcGIS Online (hosted feature layers) or are you using ArcGIS Server/Enterprise for your data source? ... View more

Another data point with ArcGIS webhooks not firing: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-connectors-for-power-automate-questions/arcgis-connectors-broke-in-government-version-do/m-p/1659709#M1143 I wonder if this might not be due to AWS issues, but that ArcGIS Online was updated yesterday? FWIW my legacy Survey123 connectors/webhooks are continuing to fire successfully.  ... View more

We are on government Power Automate. I did a test just now by creating a new hosted feature layer (HFL). I created a flow like in your example to trigger based on new record creation. I had to go into the HFL and manually enable "Keep track of changes to the data (add, update, delete features)" in order for the webhook from the flow to be created.  Creation of new records did not trigger the automated flow.  I turned the flow 'off' which removed the webhook, turned it back on to create a new webhook... but it still does not trigger.  I made different manually triggered test flow using ArcGIS connector ("Get data from feature layer") and that does work.    ...

You might want to make your own thread for that, but the first thing to try is to go the ArcGIS Connection reference and perform the 'Switch account' step to log in again and re-authenticate. NOTE: if your browser session already has an active AGOL login session, this may automatically use that account instead of prompting you to enter credentials. If that's an issue, just navigate to any normal AGOL page and log out first. This authentication session expires within two weeks, if I am not mistaken. It's a big pain that has been discussed in other threads as well.  If that's not it, you may want to start your own thread so others can help you with your particular issue.  ... View more

Will this be recorded and shared after? I would love to join but I'm at a conference that day. I have some other Monitor resources/webinar videos bookmarked but haven't had the time to watch them all.  ... View more

Are you guys on Windows 11? We are having issues with Win11 'efficiency mode' being applied to various processes including Edge. You can quickly tell by looking at Task Manager for the process and there will be a green leaf icon indicating efficiency mode is active.  Windows 11 has not offered any good tools to control this, we have had to try various hack-y methods to get it to stop.  ...

This is not a complete answer, but a starting point - and I could be wrong - but I have a feeling this what's happening: Cached tiles by their nature have to use a zoom level index. This is hard-coded at the time of publishing, and I don't think you can modify it after. So the resulting zoom levels you experience (how many, what the scales are at each zoom level) really depends on settings during publishing. NOTE: This is not the same as the scale settings specified in ArcGIS Pro for any given layer. So if you can share exactly how you created the service, that can lead to recommendations for modifying those settings for republishing. ArcGIS Pro is not always very 'smart' in the way it chooses the default index or zoom level options for you during publishing. I believe one way to validate the limitations of your service is by checking the service's REST endpoint and looking at the scale values shown there. Example below of a Vector Tile service but other cached tile REST attributes might be similar.   ... View more

If any of your workflows on the Enterprise GDB feature class performs a truncate/append style operation, or delete/re-insert, or possibly if the data is replicated from another source, OBJECTID's will not be a valid way to uniquely identify features since the OBJECTID values will be applied simply based on order of insert operations. However, if your workflows only are updating existing rows, then OBJECTID's should not be changing. Since you do indicate you are using Enterprise GDB, I believe that means you could use a Database Sequence and an Arcade expression to generate a custom unique ID field with an Attribute Rule instead of relying on OBJECTID/GLOBALID. Are you familiar with that strategy? However, if any of your workflows are re-inserting rows, then the Attribute Rule would need some logic to keep a uniqueID if it already exists, rather than always generating a new ID on an insert.  I see this from the  /updateFeatures  documentation that this would be supported in 11.5 to use a custom unique id string field instead of objectid or globalid: EDIT: This seems more complicated than I thought: https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/services-reference/enterprise/layer-feature-service/#new-at-115  ...

Agreed, the Legend UI feels like a mess to us as well. While we're at it, the Scale bar settings are likewise a trial and error operation most of the time. I bring this up because if there is a major Legend UI overhaul, I imagine it ought to include improvements of other similar UI items that suffer from the same format  Although the Legend and Scale bar ribbon menus offers a 'gallery' with a few variations to choose from, I don't see any way to save your own gallery items to make restoring preferred formatting much easier. ...

https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-ideas/allow-organization-and-or-groups-to-own-data-in/idi-p/932041  Jeez man... open for 6 years with 33 updoots and ESRI has not responded. I wish they would let it be Under Consideration at least. I think the idea deserves some dignity and can live out its years with the others of its kind that are consigned to oblivion 😢  Or Close it with an explanation/response. If the idea isn't feasible, I'd love to hear more from the AGOL team's theory for why, which could be insightful to better understand the limitations that they (and we) are working within. ...

I whole-heartedly agree with this, and feel like this is more aligned with an 'Enterprise' type of environment. Even though my organization is small, just a team of 2 pure-GIS workers, I like to consider a lot of our content 'Production', as it is essentially permanent resources used internally or by the public. I dislike the coordination necessary to consolidate 'Production' resources under a shared user account, in order to visualize/organize all the items into folders, which for me is critical for keeping our many hundreds of items from seeming like a complete mess, and makes management and review of all of our production resources easier. Especially auditing content naming conventions, and sharing settings, as you mentioned, which in my case need to be standardized for different use cases.  ... View more

This reminds me of other design/technical software where it has “workspaces” which essentially are different interface layouts for different use cases. I would enjoy this kind of feature as well. ... View more
