Are there any forms of attributed raster layers hosted in ArcGIS Online that are offline-compatible for Field Maps?  Specifically, wondering if layers hosted with ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online (AGIAGOL) or ArcGIS Server Image Server (AGSIS) provided offline compatibility.  Thanks. ... View more

Hi!  I'm an ArcGIS Online admin of an org with ~470 accounts looking for a script or tool or routine to populate (append) the associated email address for each account to its Bio section so that our users can see this info without being an admin.  I use GeoJobe's free Admin tools, but they don't have an option to do this by looping through each account and pull each email address as a variable.  I'm new to code-based admin for the ArcGIS Online environment so any leads/tips/explanations would be greatly appreciated!   ...

Hi, our organization has several hundred separate attributed raster datasets, each containing different types of data (vegetation, wildlife models, etc.) that we need to get into ArcGIS Online as public layers, and ideally also shared publicly through our ArcGIS Hub/Open Data site.  There seems to be 2 ArcGIS products to help with this, which we both have:  1) ArcGIS Image for ArcGIS Online and 2) ArcGIS Image Server. In testing #1, its dynamic imagery option seems to work best, but public sharing is not allowed with that option (that is VERY disappointing Esri! I guess you want folks to buy and use ArcGIS Image Server to share publicly instead?) and also neither the tiled or dynamic services with #1 seem to work well in Hub/Open Data - no download option is offered for either!?  In testing #2 it seems to work best overall but requires a separate image service for each dataset - but doesn't ArcGIS Server (where ArcGIS Image Server resides) have a limit on the number of services it can handle, like only a few hundred? Thus, this does not seem ideal either.  We have been serving these rasters as raster layers in ArcGIS Server map services (many separate rasters per service), but they don't seem to be supported to feed into ArcGIS Online?  So, unless I'm missing something, there's no good solution for our needs?  One other annoyance is that there did not seem to be an easy way to translate the predefined symbology/color palette for each raster into the #1 or #2 service options - only approach I could find was to convert the symbology colors to RGB values and add them as separate R G B attributes to the attribute tables prior to publishing and then the R G B attributes are recognized in the service and will render the colors as default (kind of tedious and difficult to automate). Any thoughts or insights on better approaches appreciated, but overall it seems much improvement is needed with the serving of many pre-symbolized attributed raster datasets in ArcGIS Online and sharing them with ArcGIS Hub/Open Data, thanks.  ...

Our ArcGIS Online org's "Primary map viewer" setting is currently "Map Viewer Classic" but I've given our ~450 org users advance notice we'd like to change in in Jan 2023 to "Map Viewer".  As our org admin, I'd like to understand more about what happens when we make that org-wide change. Once the change is made, does that mean that org members' "Primary map viewer" option in their own account settings will also default to "Map Viewer" at that time and they'll need to set it to "Map Viewer Classic" if they want that instead as their own default, or will their account setting stay at whatever option they've previously specified prior to the change?  i.e. I'm trying to better understand the impact from the change and how some of our web map/app developers may need to advise their own specific app users about whether they'll need to change their account settings.  Thanks.   ...
