I have a MXD where I first exported the map to a JPEG and clipped the output to the graphics extent. I then tried to export it as a PDF, and now it clips the image in the PDF to the just show the graphics like the JPEG and not show the title or anything I've recently added to the map. When exporting to PDF, I did not check the box to clip output to graphics extent so I'm not sure if it's just clipped for eternity after you do it once? I also tried it with checking the box to see if anything would change, it didn't. ... View more

I have blank cells in an attribute table I'd like to catch using python. These cells are not filled with <Null> but are simply blank. Will this statement catch all possibilities in a blank cell? The blank cells could only occur in string fields and would be produced using Collector Classic on an iPhone since, for some reason, it doesn't enforce required fields like an Android phone does and instead just fills required text fields with an empty value. if x == [None, '', ' ']: #do something‍‍ I think None actually catches <Null> but can't hurt to have it there I guess. ...

What is the way to do this? I want to be able to read the gdb_from_date and gdb_to_date fields of the archive table using arcpy. How do you instantiate the archived table?  ... View more

I'm having problems... I have enabled archiving on an SDE feature class so it could be used in Collector. Now when I got to MSSQL management studio and open up the table, it's showing all the archived data that was deleted. It was my understanding that data that exists should be in one table and data that did exist but was deleted should be in a separate archive table. What's going on? How do I fix this? Just to give you an idea... This is the table with collected, existing data. It has 13 records:   This is what the same feature class looks like on the backend, in SQL management studio. Note, it returns 277 rows. I had a bunch of people testing the application in the field, so they created a bunch of dummy data and then deleted it via the Collector application. Yet is still shows in the backend table?: ... View more

Has anybody tested if one is faster than the other? Say you have 300,000 records to go through and you want to find all the records that have nulls in a field, would selecting with a "IS NULL" where clause be faster than a search cursor running through? Or would the difference be negligible?  ... View more

I know this was a problem from a while ago looking at all the posts on it, but was the problem with android devices being misidentified as incompatible with Collector ever fixed? I am emulating a device with Android Studio so that might be the problem, but the emulated device meets all the requirements I think; however, I still get the incompatible message. I'm pretty sure it meets all the requirements because I can download other ArcGIS apps like Workforce, Indoors, Navigator, etc. with no issue. I can't really install it separately on my machine and then deploy it because of the emulation factor.  ... View more
