Thanks, guys. I marked Jonah's response as correct since his link explicitly states why this error was happening. I realized after posting that I had dealt with this before and my workaround was to take the table, convert it to an Excel file, and then upload that into Portal and turn it into a service. That's what I'll be doing here as well. Thanks again. Steve ... View more

Yeah. But Trimble's hardware is rock solid (the 7X is replacing a 13 year old XH) and Trimble will be supporting the 7X with parts & service for 7 years after its finally discontinued. That gets me close enough to retirement.  I'm also in the Pacific Northwest where trees and terrain are a factor so I wanted to retain my ability to post-process my captured data. Once again, that process was far easier under the old school workflow. ... View more

Hey, blast from the past. I hope you have better luck than me. I ultimately decided against using Collector and ended up just buying another Trimble Geo 7X and trusty 'ol Arcpad. Far too many cons for the AGOL/Portal/Collector workflow for me. As for Arcpad, to quote Steve Jobs, "It just works." ... View more

I've kind of done this many moons ago (11 years! eek) so I'll give you what I had developed but I haven't used this in a long time. Anyways, this is some VBA code meant to be used inside of Arcmap. I don't have an updated version for ArcGIS Pro, or even a more recent version of Arcmap for that matter. It worked then but I can't guarantee it will work with today's Arcmap version. Anyways.... You need to create two datasets- a routed version of your streets (routes are based on the full street name) and the second dataset is a point layer of the intersections. You can use the Intersect tool in Arctoolbox and specify a point output type to generate this. Once you have that, the attached VBA code loops through the records and calculates a cross street field with the road name. From my recollection, it worked fairly well but your mileage may vary. The VBA code is commented. Hope this helps! Steve ... View more

I suppose you could script to repeatedly direct a browser to an AGOL webmap url & add action parameters like this. ... View more

Dante- Yes, it was fairly straightforward. Open up AGO Assistant and then navigate to your webmap of interest and chose "View an items JSON" from the "I Want to..." menu. The second "block" of JSON code details with the layers in the webmap. Scroll through it until you find the layer you need to tweak. Once you find the layer, you'll want to zero in on the DefinitionExpression property. Here's what it looks like in my edited webmap: The later half of the definitionExpression sets the criteria for a date between the current year and 12 years from now. The above expression is based on an actual date field but you could also do the same thing with a text based field as well. Originally, the data I was provided had the 4 digit year stored as text. Here's the same definition but for a text based field: "((M8UpgradeBy = 'Transition Plan') OR (M8UpgradeBy = 'Capital Project') OR (M8UpgradeBy = 'Overlay Program')) AND (m9upgradeyr >= EXTRACT(YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE()) ) AND (m9upgradeyr <= EXTRACT(YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE()) + 12 )" While the version based on the text year field worked for display purposes, I had to change the underlying data to be a date field because the date slider widget I was using in WebApp Builder wasn't honoring the query expression. Once I changed it to hit an actual date field, all was well. Steve ... View more

thanks, John. I do have that app bookmarked as well. I always go to the Sentinel Explorer first because it has a faster repeat cycle. I know the resolution is the same when you compared the Pan-sharpened vs Sentinel but I also prefer the quality of the Sentinel as well. Something's better than nothing, though! ... View more

I recently wanted to extend the AGOL Shapes symbol palette to include additional colors. Here's what I did- Pick your base AGOL symbol In your browser, right click over one of the symbols in the map and choose the inspect element option (assuming you are using Chrome as your browser) The developer tools dialog will open and highlight where the symbol is represented in the HTML code base. Right click on THAT and select open in new window (the language might be a little different- I can't recall) In the new window, right click on the image and select Save Ass to save a copy locally. Now, open the PNG in the image editor of your choice to adjust its color. You can use Photoshop but, in this case, I used the free program Fastone Image Viewer. For Fastone Image Viewer, select the image, and then go to the Colors Menu and select Adjust Colors. Under that dialog, you'll primarily just adjust the Hue slider to change the color of the image. Repeat this process for all the posibilities you want to create your new PNG images. Lastly, you'll need to upload these images to someplace publicly accessible and grab the URLs to their location(s). Head back over to AGOL and then adjust the symbol and select the use an image option at the bottom: Hope that helps! Steve [Here is the thread which includes the symbols I had modified] ...

I don't have any answers to your questions but I did notice that ESRI has set up a COVID-19 space here on Geonet so maybe you should post these questions there for better visibility. ... View more

You'll likely have to contact customer support to get a definitive answer. One possibility is that an additional block of credits you had purchased has expired- remember that additional blocks of credits "expire" after 24 months. There's also the possibility of gremlins in ESRI's system. I had a situation where my 1,000 bock of purchased credits was mistakenly zero'd out after 12 months instead of the 24 months they advertise. Again,contacting customer service eventually led to the restoration of the credits I rightfully still had. ... View more
