Unfortunately it is not possible to edit an existing feature service in Maps for Office. However, if you originally shared the layer from Maps for Office you can update it from the add-in.

I'm excited to announce we are opening the Tech Preview program for Esri Maps for Office 3.0! To check it out, sign up on our beta community here: http://bit.ly/EsriMapsForOffice3 There are many updates to Esri Maps for Office in this release. Some of the notable changes are: It's easier to work with your maps. We've added the ability to add multiple maps, to pop-out maps into floating windows, to minimize maps, to collapse maps, to tile maps, and to 'go to' maps that you can't find - all in an effort to make working with maps a much better experience. It's easier to add data. We've re-worked the add data workflow to make it quicker and easier to get your spreadsheet data on the map. The add data workflow begins as soon as you add a map to your spreadsheet. You are presented with map styling options so you can preview what your map will look like before you make it, and adding the map is as simple as clicking the thumbnail you want. Support for more coordinate systems. When you are adding data to a map using coordinates, you have many more options to specify which coordinate system your data are in. Being stuck with WGS84 and Web Mercator is a thing of the past! We look forward to hearing what you think about the new version. This is an early look at software that is in development, but we think there is a lot to be excited about. Let us know what you think! Scott

That's correct, you'll need a hosted server to use most of the Maps for Office functionality.

Hi - I'm a product engineer on the Maps for Office dev team. Just saw your question and passed it along to some of the other folks on the team that are more familiar with Portal. According to them, it sounds like "the Portal this user is connecting to is not configured with a dedicated hosted server. As I do not see that in his description. Also we show these messages when we could not identify a hosted server configured in the Portal." You can find more information about configuring hosting servers at the following help link: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//017s0000006n000000 Let me know if this helps! Scott

Ok, so I heard back from the dev team. It sounds like it is a problem with the auto-update check, as you suspected. If you go into the Excel backstage area (File > Esri Maps) and uncheck 'Check for updates,' that should hopefully fix your problem for the time being. We've already made the code fix in the upcoming 3.0 beta version of the product, so future versions should be ok. Let me know if this takes care of it or if you continue to see crashing. Thanks!

Andrew - we are aware of the intermittent crashing issues but it's been very hard to consistently reproduce. Thanks for including the event log; I've passed it along to the dev team to see if it helps them track down the problem.

Hi - thanks for your question. Maps for Office does not support anonymous access. What is the use case you are looking to support? Just wondering how you'd use it because I'm interested in taking your requirements back to the team for consideration. Thanks, Scott

We are pleased to announce the release of Esri Maps for Office 2.1.3. Our Portal users will be happy to hear that we�??ve added support for LDAP authentication. We also vastly improved our implementation of PKI authentication. Another new feature is support for ArcGIS custom roles. With custom roles, you can better manage the privileges of people in your organization. To find out more about custom role support in Maps for Office, see our configuration help page. Also, we tracked down the issue that caused Maps for Office to crash when disconnected from the internet. It�??s fixed! Here is the full list of improvements in this release: Support for custom roles. New silent install parameters allow for better control over large scale deployments. Maps for Office now checks for connectivity to ArcGIS and notifies you when necessary services are unavailable. Bug fixes and usability improvements, including: Ability to use hosted map services as custom location types. Commas as decimal separators are now handled properly. Layer visibility issues in localized versions have been corrected. Random crashing issues caused by older versions of Visual Studio Tools for Office have been fixed. Custom locators are now shown using their name instead of �??Address�?? in the add data workflow. Better registry management on uninstall. When connected to a Portal, requests to ArcGIS Online are no longer made. Enriched layers can now be styled and grouped by the newly added columns. Popups for enriched layers now display correct column headings. When disconnected from the internet, crashing no longer occurs. Esri Maps for Office in PowerPoint now honors the default basemap in your organization. To download the app, watch how-to videos, or get help for Esri Maps for Office, see the app page at http://doc.arcgis.com/en/maps-for-office/.

Hi everybody, I'm using the Esri Map for Office to create the layer that will indicate the unemploy rate for each states. But when I'm doing it just shows just only one color (green). Can I change the color for each state ? For example: Alabama is pink, New York is blue...etc... Please help me !!!!! Best Regards, Phuong Nguyen [ATTACH=CONFIG]29519[/ATTACH] Hi - Take a look at the 1:25 mark of this video. I think the grouping that is performed on the Sales Summary layer is similar to what you're trying to do. Thanks, Scott

Holly - Currently Esri Maps for Office supports connections to ArcGIS Online and Portal for ArcGIS. If you want to be able to publish to a local server, your option is to use Portal for ArcGIS. You can find more information at the 'what is Portal for ArcGIS' documentation page. Hope this helps! Scott

Hi guys - Believe it or not you can use the edges to move the map and corners to re-size the map. Your cursor has to be within the dark grey border area. Unfortunately the cursor icon doesn't change to let you know you're in the right spot, so for now you just have to use trial and error to find the right spot. We recognize this lack of visual feedback combined with very small "grabbing" area is frustrating and we are already working on fixing this issue for the next release. Thanks for your feedback, I hope this helps! Scott

I changed my Add-in settings in the Trust Center settings to match yours (Require Application Add-ins to be signed: ON, Disable notification for unsigned add-ins: ON, Disable all Application Add-ins: OFF) and the Esri Maps toolbar works just fine for me. I'm able to sign in, insert a map, etc. I don't think this is your issue. I do believe the issue is with your ArcGIS Connection in the Esri Maps backstage. Are you trying to connect to a Portal for ArcGIS server or are you trying to connect to ArcGIS Online?

Hi Scott - Are you trying to connect Maps for Office to Portal for ArcGIS? If so, I suspect something may not be configured correctly in Portal (and unfortunately Portal config is outside my realm of knowledge). If you're not trying to connect to a Portal, change the ArcGIS Connection to http://www.arcgis.com in the Esri Maps backstage area (File > Esri Maps). The only time you should really change the ArcGIS Connection is when you connect to a Portal. Hope this helps with your troubleshooting, Scott

Hi Scott - Is it possible for you to contact support about this issue? From a dev perspective, it really helps if we are able to see all the issues with our product when they are collected in one place. Support is really good about detailing steps to reproduce the issue and we regularly get reports about which issues are being experienced the most. This helps us focus in on where the problem areas really are. Forum posts don't get collected in the same way necessarily, so if you could log an incident that would help us out a lot - not to mention it would probably be the fastest way to get your problem solved. Thanks! Scott
