Thomas Furcron, Just wanted to let you know we have addressed this issue and an updated version of Explorer is in the iOS and OS X app stores. iOS: Explorer for ArcGIS on the App Store on iTunes‌ OS X (Mac): Mac App Store - Explorer for ArcGIS‌ With these latest versions the problem described above should be addressed. Thanks for your patience, -Brent ... View more

You're welcome, I will update this thread once the update is live in the OS X and iOS app stores. ... View more

Brad, This is using the geocoding service your organization is configured to use. By default it is the ArcGIS Online Geocoding Service. I could see how this might be a capability you would want to suppress for your end users and this is something we could consider in future release but currently there is no way to suppress the address being returned for feature callouts. -Brent ...

Tom, We are noticing this problem with the latest iOS update. It is related to token expiration in previous releases of Explorer on iOS . It is currently being investigated and I will update this thread when more information is known. To get around this issues please uninstall the app from your device and reinstall the latest version of Explorer for the Apple App store. This should not take too long as it is an iOS app and this will clear out your application settings. Thanks for your patience, -Brent ... View more

Kyle, We are looking into addressing this issue for our next release due out in time for the 2014 User Conference. Thanks for the feedback. -Brent ... View more

etyler, This was not an explicit choice to restrict zooming of hyperlink content, this was an oversight and a limitation of the control we are using to provide web content in the application. We are researching ways to provide this functionality in a different way at a future release as we can see it's obvious advantages. I will keep you posted, -Brent ... View more

etyler, This is a limitation of the control we are using to display hyperlink content which does not allow zooming. One thing we recommend is storing the schematic drawings as attachments on the feature. If done this way, when the attachment is opened up from the pop-up you will be able to interact with the file natively on the device and this will allow you to zoom and explore in greater detail. Hope this helps, -Brent ... View more

Thanks for the positive feedback Michael, it's always nice to hear. The team poured their heart into this one 🙂 wrt: Ops Dashboard I will talk with the team and make sure similar issues are addressed in that app to simplify this user experience. ... View more

Michael, You beat me to it, if you install the certificate manually on the device you should be fine to communicate with services secured in this manner. iOS allow you to install certificates in a number of different ways one of which you mention in your solution above. It's a one time step so it should not be too troublesome. For future releases of Explorer we will augment this experience prompting you to install the certificate the first time you try to access a resource like this if possible. Thanks, -Brent ...

When creating a spatial view, ArcGIS will not create a spatial index (or any index) on the view (DBMS' may not support indexes on view at all unless it is a materialized view), the key aspect is to make sure the underlying database tables that are referenced in the view have the appropriate indexes.

Jack, At ArcGIS 10 you should be able to use query layers to execute this type of query and return the result set as a layer in ArcMap. All the DBMS platforms we support, support the concept of cross database queries and many support queries which span multiple database server instances (an example of this technology is "Linked Servers" in SQL Server). As with anything else in the database world, the syntax varies from DBMS to DBMS but it is possible, you will just have to look up the specific syntax for the platform(s) you are working with. Hope this helps, -Brent ... View more

Demin, You should be able to use the Query Layers functionality in 10.0 to connect to the read only SQL Server database and work with objects in that database as layers in ArcMap. http://blogs.esri.com/dev/blogs/geodatabase/archive/2010/04/14/query-layers-_4000_-arcgis-10.aspx Hope this helps, -Brent ...
