Hi - Can anyone provide some guidance on sharing project templates? I'm attempting to find best practices about how to properly share an .aptx template with colleagues. The main pieces of the template are a Python toolbox, several layouts, and SDE connections. Yes, I have already read both https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/projects/create-your-own-project-template.htm and https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/package-project.htm, but perhaps I'm missing something obvious. Background: We are attempting to convert an internal tool from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro. The tool relies on Python scripts to generate a series of map PDFs. We have successfully rewritten the scripts to use Python3 and arcpy.mp and converted .mxds to .pagxs. Everything runs fine from the development .aprx. That is, all of the PDFs are generated as desired. I'm now attempting to package up a template .aptx, but I quickly run into errors when I run the Python tool. The errors are not all that informative, and troubleshooting from the aptx-generated project is cumbersome. I'm currently conjecturing that the issues might be related to file paths as the .aptx seems to add some lines of code and reorganize file locations in the project folder. I'll add that the source files are saved on network folders, but it doesn't seem to make much difference if I use relative paths or absolute paths. Thanks, Ryan

Hi - It looks like publishing a custom theme is required to use it in StoryMaps. The publish button seems to be greyed out for our non-admin users. Are there specific settings required for a user to publish a theme they've created? I understand this is currently under beta so the documentation might be lacking at this time. Thanks, Ryan

Thank you Christian. Your reply makes a lot of sense.

Figured it out... I had to add my string to a single element list first. I still think the documentation is confusing.

Parameters for remove_users from group? · ‎06-23-2020

Hi - Pretty simple question. What are the parameter types for the remove_users method from a group? The documentation says the parameter usernames is a "Required string. A comma-separated list of users to be removed." So is usernames a string or a list of strings? The method also returns a "dictionary with a key notRemoved that is a list of users not removed." However, it seems to be returning a dictionary whose value for the notRemoved key seems to be a list of my string characters: {'notRemoved': ['e', 'k', 'v', '5', '_', 'c', 'd']}. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Ryan

You might have seen this before, but here is how the ArcGIS data types map to those of SQL Server: DBMS data types supported in ArcGIS—Help | Documentation . I've had issues with non-supported data types before. SQL Server's BIGINT, for example.

Hi everyone - Pretty basic question. Will registering a view that was created outside of ArcGIS improve rendering performance? I see here a mention that "having spatial information stored in geodatabase system tables improves performance times when adding the table or view to a map." But, that's all I can find on the subject. Could someone briefly explain the mechanics behind this? The situation is that we have analysts creating web apps and dashboards directly from SQL Server views. Our group makes extensive use of SQL views but does not take advantage of registering them. They have complained about the rendering performance, and I'm wondering if registering the view will make any noticeable difference. I'm just looking for some information that I can take to my colleagues rather than try to have the DBO user run a series of tests. (I personally don't have the ability to register tables and views on this particular database.) Thanks, Ryan

Did you ever figure this out? I don't have an answer, but I can tell you that registering a table or view with the geodatabase alters the schema. What type of field is your primary key? It has to be a unique integer.

I'll add that this could be considered a security issue by some organizations. Full file paths, including network drives, are included in metadata and some groups might not be keen on inadvertently publicizing this.

In Survey123 web, you can set it so that viewers can either see all records or only records that they have submitted themselves. Great feature. This choice applies universally to anyone who has the ability to view, whether public, organization, or groups. We have a need to be able to control this setting in a more fine-grained fashion. What we would like is the ability under Collaborate to allow one group to see all results and allow another group to see only their own submissions. Thanks.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks.

Well, I was about to send over some screenshots showing that I was in fact in the right environment to clone, but on this attempt the cloning mysteriously worked. No idea why, but I'm happy it finally stuck. But, now I get a message saying the clone is required and can't be removed: Regardless, I don't plan on removing it and am just happy it finally works. Thanks for your help, Dan Patterson and Arne Gelfert.

I probably should have made it clearer in my post, but openpyxl 2.6.1 is already installed. I'm trying to clone the default environment that comes with ArcGIS Pro.

‎12-06-2019

Hi - I'm unable to clone the default arcgispro-py3 env in ArcGISPro 2.4.2. No matter what I try it give me an error message that openpyxl 2.6.1 doesn't exist. This makes little sense to me. Is there anything I can do short of completely reinstalling ArcGIS Pro? Thanks, Ryan

Thank you, Kory Kramer‌ and Dan Patterson‌. Both explanations are very helpful.
