Mike Minami, can you go into more detail with this process. I have been looking all over the web for information on how this works. Here is an embedded site that I am working with: http://www.ldh.la.gov/assets/oph/Center-EH/envepi/LaTSIP/Apps/HSEES_NTSIP_Web_Maps.htm. It would be great if I could have the years be a drop down list (actually, this site is an easier version of another site that really needs a drop down list: https://ladhh.maps.arcgis.com/apps/InteractiveFilter/index.html?appid=898321676fb54288b7f73b6b2e5be135 ) So here are my questions (forgive my lack of proper explanation on this): 1. In order to get the drop down list, I need to set the domains of the geodatabase. I did that, but how do I know if they correspond to the actual data? 2. In ArcGIS Desktop (any level), how do you create a map service that can be filtered? I have only been able to do this by building the entire project using ArcGIS online. Does this question make sense? Is it just as simple as setting the symbology? 3. Related to question 2, is it necessary to do that, or can you just upload the service and then filter it using ArcGIS online? Thanks, Clay

Good idea, as I had not done that, but no, it is still very slow.

I just upgraded to arcview 10.3.1. The movement of annotation labels stored in the map is extremely slow. The software and the data is stored on my local machine. Only the license manager is stored on a server. Any ideas? EDIT: In particular, it is when I click on the text annotation itself. Or double click to open up the editor dialog.

Nevermind, I see it is the documentation field. How can I get MS Access to show the entire field?

‎01-06-2014

You can find it in 'GDB_Items' table. I found some of it there in the "Documentation" column, but not everything. This is what I found: <metadata xml:lang="en"><eainfo><detailed><enttyp><enttypl>Export_Output</enttypl></enttyp><attr><attrlabl>OBJECTID</attrlabl><attrdef>Internal feature number.</attrdef><attrdefs>Esri</attrdefs><attrdomv><udom>Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically In arccatalog, I changed the title in the metadata, it must be stored somewhere?

Where is the metadata "file" stored in a personal geodatabase (ie. the xml file associated with shapefiles)? Thanks, Clay

I second this...I thought it could already be done easily. Now I owe my friend a dollar.

Yes, that is exactly what I needed, but I don't want to close out the thread yet as I have a related question now. I am not wild about the automatic placement of the labels, so I have turned them into annotation. In order to keep the scales of the labels correct, I am having to turn the labels into annotation for each map (using the Page Definition Queries so that only the labels for the selected zipcode are turned into annotation at 1 time). For each map, I turn the labels into annotation...meaning that I currently have about 20 databases of labels in my geodatabase. I have already done this manually, but is there a way to do this automatically? A pre-written script perhaps? Also, in order for the now 20 databases of annotation to show up only in the selected map, I have again used Page Definition Queries. I added a column to each of the annotation databases with the number of the zipcode. Is there a way to do this automatically as well? I originally planned to use a spatial join: joining the annotation of all the labels (all zip codes) to the zip code in which they were contained; however, I found out that the labels were considered polygons (not points), and was therefore not sure how the results of the join would be for labels that went outside of the zipcode polygon. I have it all working correctly now, but it was a lot of work. Thanks.

I think that might be exactly what I needed. I will give it a shot. Thanks!

I am brand new with DDP, and I just took an introductory course on python 2 weeks ago, so please go easy on me lol. I would think that this question has been asked before, but I searched to no avail. Anyhow, I want to be able to label items in selected regions, but not have the labels (or the items themselves) show up in adjacent regions. In this case, I am labeling schools in individual zipcodes in a city. If I allow for labels of schools in other adjacent zipcodes to show up, it gets way to crowded. Through trial and error, the labels are have now been converted to annotation in a database, grouped by zipcode. I have partially solved the problem by: using the clip options on the data frame----clip to current data driven page extent This works great if all of the labels can fit inside the the zip code. However, if it gets too crowded inside the polygon for all the labels, the labels that are placed outside of the polygon get clipped. I know that if I can exclude layers from the clip options; however, if I do that for the labels layers, they will show up again for every zip code, not just the one that I am working on.....unless I manually tell it to only exclude the labels for the zip code in which DDP map is being made. This means that I will have to do that for every zip code, and then, there is really no automation any longer. One possible solution that I have thought of is to make a new layer with "larger" zip codes. These areas would be extended out slightly form the actual zip code, and could be used for the clipping area. In brief, I think my question is: Is there a way to use DDP to show the labels of points inside of a polygon1, with the actual labels extending outside of polygon1. Then using DDP to show the labels inside of polygon2, with the actual labels extending outside of polygon2 and so on? Does that make sense? I have attached a sample of the map that I am working on. It is one of many DDP maps. [ATTACH=CONFIG]22356[/ATTACH]

Cool. I will check that out.

Thanks for the information. I see that you can manually enter multiple numbers in the breaks area. This helps out a lot. As for the rest, it really doesn't matter in this case. I tried to do 30 minute service areas for 663 sites, but it crashed arcmap at some point over the weekend. I will have to take a look at that model builder book. I don't really know anything about it, but I think it could come in very handy when attempting to automate map generation. Thanks.

Quick question (I think), I want to make multiple Service Areas using different amounts of time. I know how do do it manually by entering a single amount of time in the Breaks_[Impedance] in the dialog box. Can this be done where the breaks will hit a series of times (like a column in a database) or by manually entering 5, 10, 15? Second question, and this is really more of a bonus question and not really needed but I would like to find out. I have never used model builder, is it possible to set up a model where it will take 1 set of points, make multiple service areas of varying times, then take another group of points and make multiple service areas of varying times? I am just curious as I would like to run this in the office when I am not there. Thanks.

Thanks. That is something that I had never thought about. I was always bringing in my maps into photoshop and manually labeling things that needed transparent labels. I am glad I checked this out again. Clay

I see that Maplex is now part of 10.1. Does this allow for semi-transparent labels? Thanks
