I use the "about" widget for a similar purpose to what you describe. Have you already ruled out that widget? I'm sure it wouldn't take much to programmatically open it when the splash screen is closed, then the user can open and close it when needed by clicking an icon.

Nice find Tracy Schloss! Nice work Tom Wayson.

It looks like the answer is no, not yet. Too bad, I was hoping we could implement that too. I'd say the work-around is to create a new, shared account for the collaborators to use and then change ownership of the item to this new user. Create groups—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS Note: Currently, the scene viewer, presentation viewer, and ArcGIS apps do not support the update item capability. For example, as a member of such a group, you can update the item details of a scene shared to the group from My Content, but you cannot modify the scene from within the scene viewer. Support will be added in future releases.

If you want the buffer to appear in the print then go to the "Edit default buffer properties" and choose "Add the buffer layer to the maps legend" Okay thanks. I tried that but found the buffer graphic was still turning off when the eSearch widget is closed but now I see that if I open the layer list and turn off the buffer graphic an then turn it on again, it will stay then on.

After creating a buffer, is it possible to leave the buffer graphic on screen when the widget closes so that it can be printed by the print widget? Is it possible to have it create a buffer graphic without selecting any features if a user just wants to show a buffered area?

Another way to turn off the logo is to go into the config.json file and look for the "mapOptions" item and add "logo" : false, -- it is on line 236 in mine but could be anywhere. The original code will look something like this: "mapOptions": { "extent": { "xmin":-13640110.909870049, "ymin":5954211.294452187, "xmax":-13479287.402357975, "ymax":6073758.806690248, "spatialReference":{ "wkid": 102100} } } Change to: "mapOptions": { “logo”: false, "extent": { "xmin":-13640110.909870049, "ymin":5954211.294452187, "xmax":-13479287.402357975, "ymax":6073758.806690248, "spatialReference":{ "wkid": 102100} } }

Nicely done Rickey! it is really fast and works well. Your code is nicely organized and easy to read, too. I like how you have used a dynamic service for your base map so that users can zoom in much closer than is typical with a tiled base map. The only thing I noticed that I'd like to mention is that I can zoom in further with the aerial photo than the base map, so if I zoom way in first with the aerial on and then switch to the basemap it doesn't draw anything unless I zoom out a little. Great work!

There is a way to avoid the secured services sign in. Create an item in ArcGIS Online (or Portal) that points to your secured service. Choose "Add Item from web" and then enter the URL of your secured service. It will detect that it is a secured service and ask you for credentials and then if you want it to save those credentials. Tell it to save the credentials, then save the item (it will be a "Map Image Layer"), then share it with the appropriate group. Then go your your web map, choose "add" then "search for layers" (not 'add layer from web') and add the item you just created. Now when you access the web map via Collector, it will log into the secured service for you.

I have just made an interesting discovery that just makes me more confused. Using my same IE11 and the same Yakmia measure tool demo site we've been discussing I just found out that if I change my "document mode" to either IE8 or IE9, then the site will load without giving me that access denied error, but when it is in IE10 or the default EDGE mode, then I get that error. huh? I assume this is the result of some group policy our IT group has pushed, but I still don't understand this at all.

‎04-22-2015

I know it is a really strange problem, but I am surprised that so few other people have it. I assume it is something related to CORS restrictions. When I try to access your site, for example, the console says "Access Denied" to https://yakima.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/portals/self?f=json&dojo.preventCache=1429730627189 But when I put that URL directly into IE URL bar, it accesses that URL no problem and shows the JSON response. So it isn't that the URL is blocked or I don't have the right permissions, it is IE saying it won't access the URL within the application. BTW I'm using IE11, no compatibility mode

That is a good observation though I think the main thing I need to understand is what causes that "access denied" error when making the call to the sites ArcGIS Online for Organizations site.

We have found that many sites built with the WAB do not work or us in Internet Explorer. The version doesn't matter, it can fail in IE 9, 10 and 11. In IE, we just get a white screen and the app doesn't load. Looking at the http traffic, there are no failed requests. But looking at the console we see the attached "Access denied" messages that refer to <name>.maps.arcgis.com. The sites always work for us in Chrome an FF. When we were first developing and testing WAB applications on our intranet, we found that some of us had to add the intranet server to IE's "Trusted sites" list in order or it to work. When we published out first WAB app on the internet (http://gismaps.kingcounty.gov/iMap) we found we had to add that server to IE's trusted sites list in order for it to work for us, but only when using our work computers on our work network. We can connect to a public network using the same browser and computer and the site would work. Now we get emails from some members of the public saying they are getting nothing but a white screen, while others seem to have no problem. It seems to me that there is some combination of IE security settings and perhaps our firewall that causes this. We've been telling people to try adding our site to their "trusted sites" list, but that is not only annoying but also not possible for many people who have an IT department that prevents them from changing their own settings. Plus that solution only works on a site by site basis, it doesn't solve the larger issue. I'd like to know if other people have this problem and if anyone can help to figure out a solution. Here are some of the sites that do not work for us in IE on our network, but work fine in Chrome and FF (and in IE from home). In each case I can see that access denied error in the IE console. Please note we have *.ArcGIS.com in our trusted sites list. http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app29/ https://gis.yakimawa.gov/measure/ http://gis.hamiltoncounty.in.gov/mapviewer/index.html http://gis.calhouncounty.org/WAB/V1.1/widgets/ElevationProfile/index.html# http://gis.calhouncounty.org/WAB/V1.1/widgets/eSearch/

No, I don't think so. The MXDs have to reside in a folder on the server I order for the print task to be able to access them, and uploading MXDs is not supported in AGO.

I'm very interested in having a better print tool solution. I don't think it would be possible to use a third party browser add-on like Lightshot though. I doubt that JavaScript in a page can control an add-on -- plus you'd have to get the user to install it before you could use it.

Ok, I understand. Thanks. I will also second the request to have a per-query option to enable "show results in attribute table". It doesn't make sense for some queries, especially the ones where the user chooses a single value from a drop down list. It is a great feature, but would be even better if was optional. Michael
