The easiest approach may be to first open up the CSV in Excel and then combine the two fields into one field using a formula such as "=TEXT(C2,"yyyy/m/dd ")&TEXT(D2,"hh:mm:ss")". But then once you add the CSV file to Pro, your new field will be recognised as a text field and not a date field, so then you need to run the Convert Time Field GP tool to convert it to a date field.  ...

Hmm, I am using Pro 2.7.1. I will test this behaviour on a different project.  Thanks for checking. ... View more

Just to add that I noticed last week that Layer Masking also resets (unfortunately) when changing the definition query of a layer that is being used as the mask.  ... View more

Hi there   I am not a specialist in this field but will attempt to answer some of it, but hopefully someone from Esri can jump in and correct me. So, firstly, I am surprised that the Topographic basemap that you downloaded gets blurred as it should be a Vector Tile package where the lines should still remain crisp at most scales.  Can you confirm that it is a vector tile package? Under your contents, right-click on the World Topographic Map that you downloaded and go to Properties, then Metadata and confirm that Vector Tile Package is listed under Tags?  Historically enabling Vector Tile Basemaps was done at the administrator level for your organisation, hence we need to check.   I suspect that to create a mmpk of the entire New Zealand you will probably have to go with a Vector Tile Package in your mmpk. The file sizes are just so much smaller than in standard Tile packages. I had a quick look at the NZ LIZ topographic map and it is a geotiff served off an Image Server. To download this at reasonable resolution for NZ will just be too much for any mmpk I suspect. You may need to break the country up into regions and then create an MMPK for each region.    But it is always best practice to focus on a smaller sample area to test the methodology (resolution and file sizes in this case) to assess whether your approach may be feasible.  So choose a smaller area and then play around with downloading the LNZ topographic map at a resolution that may be acceptable, then try and go larger to see if that can work. However you may find that one of the other Esri Vector Tile basemap options may work for you (take a look at the Navigation basemap, the OpenStreetMap may also be a good option) Good luck ...

It sounds like the resolution of your image is too coarse. I am not sure which layer disappears? NZ LINZ ... or World Topographic, but the cause is the same. When  you downloaded the World Topographic map, you had to select a maximum scale for the vector layers. If you select a more coarse scale (larger) value, then when you zoom in beyond that scale, then the map will disappear in Pro. Basically the data is too coarse to be visualised properly.  So when this happens, you need to try and download a finer scale version of the layer.  The good news is that if you put this MMPK onto a mobile device, and view it in either ArcGIS Field maps for ArcGIS Explorer, the layers should still be visible regardless of how far you zoom in, it may just not be very clear! ...

Hi Philip I often make use of Excel files in the GP tool Make XY Event Layer and the content only updates after restarting Pro.    Cheers Mervyn ... View more

Hi Ken   Check that the coordinate system for the map is set to Web Mercator before creating the MMPK.  The base  map tile cache and map projection need to be the same.    Cheers Mervyn ... View more

Hi Cody We only use Android on our mobile phones and tablets. We don't have any iOS devices but perhaps this is something we will need to reconsider if Esri is unable to start development on an Android version. There is no IT policy that would prohibit us from doing so, it is more a budgetary constraint at the moment.  Regards Mervyn ... View more

I have used this approach successfully in the past for feature classes. Only other suggestions would be to check you are using the Maplex labeling engine? Then what data type is your orange layer?  Not that I would know that much about what layers work and which may not (I suspect map services may not).  Probably best to log this with tech support.  ...

I created an app using the Map Viewer template 4.3 early yesterday. I was then able to successfully create installation files for it later the day for both Windows (64 but) and Android devices. Not iOS.  Today I needed to modify the settings to refer to a group instead of a single map, and now it can only successfully create the installation files for Android. It also fails with same error message as above  for Windows. See screen shot.  So the problem is not just with the iOS cloud make server it seems ... View more

Under the label placement properties, you will need to add a very high feature weight to your orange polygon (a weight of a 1000). For more information see Prevent labels from overlapping certain features—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation. ... View more
