I wanted to clarify two things regarding this function- 1.) If using the distanceAlong value, what should we assume is the unit of measurement for that value? I'm guessing it's meters since Web Mercator is the default projection?   2.) The documentation begins with this lengthy point: Feature geometries in the visualization and labeling profiles are generalized according to the view's scale resolution to improve drawing performance. Therefore, using a feature's geometry (i.e. $feature) as input to any geometry function in these contexts will return different results at each scale level. Other profiles, such as popup, provide the full resolution geometry. The last sentence is what I want clarification- if I'm using Arcade code in a popup expression, do I assume that $feature is returning the full resolution geometry? If not, what should I reference in order to obtain it?   Thanks! Steve ... View more

I know this has been asked before and I cannot find what the answer was and don't have it in my bookmarks. The situation is that you have a line layer with many features (too many to use unique values renderer) but you want to symbolize them so that no two features of the same color touch. From memory, a post suggested a tool in the Toolbox that does this analysis in order to add a field which you can then symbolize your layer on. This allows you to see the individual limits of each feature in the layer. You can also specify the number of options you want (4, 5, etc). I just can't seem to find this. Help a foggy brain out. Thank you! Steve ... View more

Where are we at in Q2 2025 in terms of obtaining the M value (or finding a location at a specific M value) in the default Map Viewer and/or ESRI apps? I'm not talking about routing- I just want to find "milepost 3" along a route or click a location to have it tell me that it is Milepost 3. In desktop Arcmap, there's always been the Identify Route Location Tool and Pro finally incorporated this functionality into the standard identify function (Explore Tool). In more recent years, this task could only be accomplished if you were using the Roads & Highways Server Extension but I swear I had heard/read that this would be finally coming to the standard Map Viewer or Apps (possibly as widget functionality in Experience Builder) but I just can't find that.

Is there any way, outside of using AGO Assistant, to change the label of an action? In my EB app, I have added a data action whereby a selected feature in the map is passed as the location source to the Near By widget (named Demographic Report in this screenshot below): What I would like to do is rename "Set location" to something else so that when a user clicks on a feature in the map and clicks the 4 circles for the available actions, it says something else like "Run Report with this" instead of what the default currently is which is "Set location". ...

Please add the ability to create a folder structure for bookmarks in the Map Viewer, and have that folder structure honored in Instant Maps, Experience Builder apps that consume that map. Recently, I created a web map & Instant App related to the recent Executive Order ordering increased logging on federal lands. I wanted to provide bookmarks in the app so that users could quickly zoom to their national forest (or Ranger district within that national forest). For a  region like the Pacific Northwest, this creates an endless scrolling list of bookmarks but this could be cleaned up quite easily if a tree view widget was implemented within the bookmarks container. Ideally, I would be able to set it up like this: <state>      <national forest>             <ranger district 1>             <ranger district 2> Also, if possible, the parent level of each part of the tree could contain a spatial bookmark. So, in my example above, the state, national forest, and ranger district X would contain a spatial bookmark.   ... View more

With the Add Data widget, I would like to see the option to change the symbology of the layer that is created when adding data using the Add Data widget. I've built an EB app that allows people to make their own geoPDFs for use in the field while doing groundtruthing. These maps typically include a raster of canopy height or perhaps an aerial photo. If someone adds a shapefile or KML file of polygons, those polygons will have a fill by default which will obscure the raster information that is important. At the very least, I would like options to change polygons from solid to transparent fills as well as changing the color of polygon outlines. ... View more
