I am using a hosted tracking layer in ArcCollector that shows up in AGOL, in iOS and Android devices. On both iOS and Android you need to turn the tracking layer on to see it (even though visibility is set to true in the AGOL map and in the JSON of the map). They layer does not show up at all in the windows version of ArcCollector and there is no functionality to turn layers on and off. Two questions: Is there a way to force the tracking layer to be visible in all OS but specifically Windows since you can't turn it on in the app? When is the New Collector going to be release for Windows? ... View more

When trying to search and update content on AGOL there is only the option to search close matches and then somehow figure out if you have the correct one prior to updating the one from the list returned using gis.content.search. There should be an option to search for an exact match and not bother with a list that is returned. If for example,  I want to update Traffic_Closures the search will return Traffic_Closures_Historic. You have to know ahead of time which result will show up first so you can tell the search to give you the first result or the second result. In this case, I want to update both layers so I can't just get rid of similarly named features to make sure my first result is always the correct result. The use case is in https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/api-python/analytics/updating-your-hosted-feature-services-with-arcgis-pro-and…  It will often find a similarly named layer rather than the one you asked for. print("Search for original SD on portal…") sdItem = gis.content.search("{} AND owner:{}".format(sd_fs_name, user), item_type="Service Definition")[0] print("Found SD: {}, ID: {} n Uploading and overwriting…".format(sdItem.title, sdItem.id)) sdItem.update(data=sd) print("Overwriting existing feature service…") fs = sdItem.publish(overwrite=True) You can improve the results by adding in title sdItem = gis.content.search("title:{} AND owner:{}".format(sd_fs_name, user), item_type="Service Definition")[0] but it still returns  Traffic_Closures_Historic as the first result when you search for Traffic_Closures Please add a search that will return an exact match without having to get a list back. ...

We like to have all of our web services with database locking turned off.  When the schema is locked the services can prevent SDE from compressing. I would like to change this so when we add a new web service, it is database locking unchecked (false) by default rather than checked (true).  There should be a config file somewhere that can be changed so the default is set to false but there doesn't seem to be.  I realize that we can easily change it every single time I add a web service but it only takes on to be forgotten to cause issues and if it is on by default it should also be able to be off by default.  Tanu Hoque‌ Nidhin Karthikeyan‌ brian bieber‌ Alison Gaiser‌ Jason Greenlaw‌ behavior  ...

In the contents page of AGOL you can use HTML to create formatted text. It would be nice if that was replicated over to open data (geoHub). For example, in our description, we include a list of fields with an explanation of what they are in a table format. However, in Open Data, the table just comes across as a text squished together as shown in the two attached images. ... View more

A way to easily update the source of a map layer in AGOL would be nice. It looks it can be done using AGOL online assistant https://ago-assistant.esri.com/  but it would be nice to be able to do it within the map itself like in ArcMap where you can update the data source in the properties window. ...

Have a "Used by" tab in AGOL on the contents page that shows where services are being used elsewhere in AGOL. This would be similar to the "used by" tab in Toad for Oracle so you can see what apps, maps etc need to be updated when layers change. It would be great if there was a feature that allowed you to notify users of the service that a service has changed so they don't have to be surprised when one of their apps fails to work. ...

Add more formatting options for the hub for text in pre-set objects such as the Category Settings for to overwrite settings set up in the Theme Builder such as the Body Link Color. When you add different backgrounds you need to have more flexibility over colours. Even a light and dark option would be helpful so you can put the same type of objects on both light and dark backgrounds. ... View more

Add used by in content usage in AGOL. It would be great to have a list of everything that accesses a feature layer, web map etc so you know what needs to be fixed if you make changes or delete an item in AGOL. I see it a being something similar to Oracle's "used by" that lists out what is accessing the item. This would help in knowing if others are using your data and allow you to follow the trail to see what they are using it for. It would also allow you to know if you can delete or change an item safely. ... View more

Depreciated items should be shown differently on the contents page of AGOL so you don't have to click on it to know it has been depreciated.  ... View more
