Todd, The Note type is not a pick list, or choice, it is for entering free text. Are you sure you need to use XLSForms, you can do an awful lot without having to get into the desktop app. Free course: Get Started with ArcGIS Survey123 If you want to use XLSForms, here's a video that goes through it all: Advanced XLSForm Techniques Hope this helps you out. Sometimes going through the training is a lot faster than having to ask questions one by one. If you did these training resources already I apologize, but it sounds like maybe you haven't.   ...

Todd, what I am suggesting you create a public ArcGIS Online account (these are free and do not time out). Bill can can easily search for your questions and answers by your username. To create a public ArcGIS Online account, go to arcgis.com, log out and click Sign In and create a public account (text link at bottom). If you want you may continue to log in as Bill, but I am inviting you to join the community and be yourself! 😁 Your work sounds very interesting - I hope you engage the community as you get set up with Survey123. Also know that although this community is excellent, Esri Support (which your company pays for!) is very good at helping you with specific problems and pointing you to online resources as you go on this journey. To get support, you would ask Bill to request an incident using MyEsri and name you as the contact. If you are getting started with Survey123 I suggest checking out following the ArcGIS Survey123 community, which is a great place to look for resources and ask questions. Best of luck and again welcome to Esri Community!   Hope this helps you out! ... View more

By overlap he means are the polygons in the same coordinate system as the DEM. Just because they draw on top of one another doesn't mean they overlap, as the desktop software will project data on the fly so they appear to overlap when they really don't. If the tool doesn't handle this behind the scenes (this is an add-on tool [from the Spatial Analyst Supplemental Tools] not part of the main software) it won't work. (Note that add on developer tools, though useful, are generally less bulletproof than the shipped software.) If the polygons are in a different CS (right click the polygon feature layer and look for Spatial Reference or Coordinate System)  you probably need to project them using the Project tool to be the same as the DEM. The other thing that can happen is that your polygons need to be big enough to cover more than one DEM cell.  For this particular tool also be very careful with the units and values of the parameters - double check to make sure they are reasonable values. @Anonymous User - Hi - let us know if you have additional suggestions! ...

Hi @JonathanButtle  If you don't want to mess with schema.ini files a kludgy but handy way to do this is to add a field with dummy text data to force text type (and field width). After the data are loaded in, select the dummy row and delete it. I agree with Dan to use geodatabase and export to shapefile. (Search for shapefile limitations in the help for more info on that.)  Here's an example csv to demonstrate. The csv below will load as Long, String, Double field types.   ID, TXTFIELD, NUMFIELD 999,A234567890,999.999 1,050,050 2,060,060         ... View more

Todd, welcome! You truly deserve your own public account - public arcgis (myesri) accounts are free and everyone should have one to keep themselves distinct from their organizational identity. On the Esri Community, Bill can be himself and so can you!  Go ahead, jump in, the water is fine! 😉 Esri and ArcGIS Online Accounts  ... View more

Sounds like a job for ModelBuilder with a unique values iterator, with the Dissolve and Append tools included in the model. This would be a great little project for my students, anyway you could share me your dataset? PM me if you can! ... View more

You didn't provide enough information to help much, and this would be better in the geoprocessing forum, but a few tips on Spatial Join that may be helpful to you: 1. This is a complicated tool so be sure and be straight on what the source and destination feature classes are and that you are doing a one-to-one join to find the closest. 2. For best results, make sure each of the inputs have the same coordinate system. If they don't the tool will give you erroneous matches and distances. Hope this helps! ... View more

Thanks for including that link, Hornbydd is quite brilliant and appears to have time on his hands - what a great post! ... View more

This is an academic license so there are plenty of licenses. This happened to me last year and I created a new prvs file which did not cause the error. I decided to only include the Education integrated license (not a few add ons - which we have as many licenses for like LocateXT) hopefully this time it will not cause this error.  Sure looks like a bug to me. Glad to know it is not me, these files are supposed to be re-usable for multiple installs, so thank you. ... View more

Recommend posting this question in the Spatial Analyst community https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-spatial-analyst/ct-p/arcgis-spatial-analyst This sounds pretty technical so I should add that Esri support is there to help you when stuck  - one of the things you pay for with ArcGIS licenses!   ...

I do not give students access to MyEsri, instead I download the ISO media package, unpack it, and post it on a network drive (and OneDrive share for students off campus). I go another step and set up install scripts for ArcMap and Pro but may be overkill.  ArcGIS Pro silent install script  ... View more
