This will be an out of the box idea but, depending how the size of the raster, you could also consider using a Media Layer. This probably isn't the way ESRI was intending to use these layers but your could- export your grid as a JPG or PNG and follow the instructions for adding it to your map. It's one way of adding raster content that might make sense for pure visual purposes over a small area (Media Layers have to be less than 10mb in size).. ... View more

Seems to me that you having 60-70 layers *WITH* labelling is greatly contributing to your issues. That's a lot of back & forth queries going on with each map change. The conventional wisdom is to pare that down to make focused applications rather than a "kitchen sink" kind of app. That being said, look at your layers and consider implementing visibility based on map scale.  Feature count rich layers like parcels shouldn't really be visible when zoomed out at a county level so keep those off until you're much more zoomed in. Other factors could be things like are these all layers that you have published or are you pulling in 3d party services? If so, you are entirely at the mercy of the 3rd party's maintenance of their own services. Fed/State/Local government publish a lot of data that has a high up time but....things happen and servers can go down or the agency can republish content and change REST urls without notice. These all result in your app waiting to time out a request. I do think that your biggest challenge is the amount of services in your application, though. ... View more

I've had this happen before and it could be that no image stretch has been applied to the raster. Select your TIF in the table of contents and then click on the Image Layer ribbon area and select a stretch type to see if that changes what you see. ... View more

In our org, we had a Portal migration (changing servers and from 10.8 to 11.1) and when I copied my previous WAB apps over using ArcGIS Assistant, the WAB apps would not open at all inside the 11.1 environment. I'm not on the GIS admin side of things so I assumed that WAB had been removed (I know it had been deprecated back in early 2023). ... View more

I wonder if it depends on whether you are using WAB in AGOL or on-site with Portal. In our case with Portal, WAB was removed from Portal when we migrated to v11.1 from 10.8. Obviously WAB would no longer function because it's gone.  ... View more

Yeah, this setting is accessed by right-clicking on the SDE layer in ArcCatalog or Catalog View/Pane in ArcGIS Pro: ArcCatalog: ArcGIS Pro Catalog View/Pane: ... View more

@Amanda__Huber Yeah, it is unsupported so you'll want to consider that. If it's a "read only" map where you're not enabling users the ability to alter the layer's definition query, it's probably ok. ArcGIS Assistant doesn't support "in the current" per se- it's simply an editor for the underlying editor for all the JSON that defines  a map & it's contents. What will support "in the current" will be the SQL query language of the database that houses the data so that might be Microsoft SQL Server SQL or Oracle's flavor of SQL. That's where you'll need to dig and experiment. Either way, you will NOT want to tweak this inside of the ESRI Map Viewer once you have it set up (because it doesn't support it within the UI so it might blow it out). Again, you'll need to evaluate if the risk/reward is worth it for your situation. ... View more

@Amanda  There's an old, open idea for adding support for Arcade based fields inside layer definition queries that you could vote up. This would be one option, if it was supported. You could create an Arcade field that is coded YES/NO based on evaluating your date field against the current year. Outside of that, there is another option which is a pain in the butt but you can decide if the hassle factor is worth it. Simply put, you can use ArcGIS Assistant to edit the underlying definition query for the layer you're interested in. The SQL that's used does support some date manipulation so it's a matter of finding the right syntax for querying records within the current year. I had to use this approach in order to add some date filtering to a data layer in one of my maps (that thread is here). ... View more

ESRI is being very stubborn about KMZ vs KML & has dug in their heels. You can read some back & forth about this in this thread. ... View more

Make sure the shapefile has a defined projection (right click->Properties->Source->Spatial Reference section) and the data frame also has a projection specified (right click->Properties->Coordinate Systems). Of the two, the shape file having a defined projection would be the most important. ... View more

This may or may not work for your situation but you can try reinforcing the connection between the popup and the map's features by carrying over the feature's color into your popup. Here I have popup for a layer of capital projects where each type of project has a different symbol color. Using Arcade, I look at what type of project it is and then color the background of the header text with the same color that's used in the map. ... View more

Yeah, not sure where and how large an area you need but SkyFi might be another option to look into. ... View more

I feel like this is something you could accomplish using Featuresets in Arcade but I haven't gone down this path in my own use of Arcade.. ... View more
