The following from your post is confusing: If you do not need customized layout, advanced reporting capabilities and/ or want better performance exporting to a .pdf file is the simplest way to generate report with Near Me result data. The file will include title, map, legend and Near Me analysis results. You will be able to add a custom template and choose print layout. This seems to imply that the use of a report template is not required however the help doc for the Near Me widget suggests otherwise. Can you print to pdf the results of the Near Me widget *without* the use of a report template? How is this then accomplished? I am fine with the popup template information that is returned in the Near Me results but just want to save it as a PDF. Going through the extra work of having to create a report template is excessive IMO. Steve ... View more

I don't know if the entire thumbnail set is available for download as a separate bundle on an ESRI website but I would imagine that they are all installed someplace on your Portal's server installation so perhaps your GIS Admin could do some snooping around the server looking for them. Apart from that, you could use the workflow I outlined to grab other thumbnails of interest. ... View more

First, add the tool to the ribbon. I hate the context switching UI of Pro so I tried to make a ribbon group where I placed all my common tools in it and that's where I put my add-in tool. Using my tool is pretty straightforward. First. set up the labelling properties for all the layers you want to manually label in your map & then point and click like you would have in Arcmap. It attempts to use hierarchy logic in labelling so labelling a point feature that's on top of a line & polygon would take precedence. Basically, highest point in the TOC > highest line in the TOC > highest polygon in the TOC. The labels are placed into a graphic layer. If one is not found, it creates one. It's not perfect but it's close enough for how I work. ... View more

On the page you're on in the screenshot, open the browser Developer tools and use the inspect element tool to target the HTML element where the icon is. You may have to drill into it but you'll find the reference to it. Attached is an example. ... View more

One thing I noticed today that I didn't previously is that your HTML table code is missing the preceding less than symbol ( the < ) before the "table" tag which would break the HTML interpretation for the popup. Your HTML table code should be this:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <th style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;">Fire District</th> <th style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;">Contact Name</th> <th style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;">Phone</th> <th style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;">Email</th> <th style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;">Address</th> </tr> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;">{FireDist}</td> <td style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;">{ContactName1}</td> <td style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;">{Phone1}</td> <td style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;">{Email1}</td> <td style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;">{Address1}</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;"></td> <td style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;">{ContactName2}</td> <td style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;"></td> <td style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;">{Email2}</td> <td style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;">{Address2}</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>   Also, because I'm not seeing it in your latest post, I'll just point out that when using the table HTML element, you also need to include the rows element (the <TR> object) and cell data elements (the <TD> object) inside the <table></table> tags. This is what gives it that nice, structured look. Lastly, your screenshot looks like the Classic Map Viewer rather than the New Map Viewer. They should be basically the same but there's always a chance that there is difference. I have stopped using the classic map viewer in my projects but perhaps you have reasons to continue its use. ... View more

You absolutely can do this. In the Popup options, add a text component and enter the editor. Click the "Source" button and then paste in your HTML clock block. Click the Source button once again to go back to "normal" edit mode & click ok. You don't need the dollar sign stuff in the HTML code block. Just put the field names (or expression names) within the curly brackets {}   ... View more

The most proactive thing that you can do is enter URLs of concern into the Internet Archive to have them archive the site. I have been able to retrieve older datasets from as far back as the mid 2000s from some Forest Service sites this way. As for AGOL / Living Atlas, I would not have any concerns about a layer disappearing if the "owner" who has published the service is ESRI or ESRI associated. In these situations, they have likely copied the data from the original source and are publishing from that point of origin. Some federal agencies such as the Forest Service have published their datasets through AGOL under their agency accounts and those could fall victim to whatever happens.  ... View more

According to this ESRI document page, the GeoLookup Tool was replaced with the Analysis tool in EB. In typical ESRI fashion, what usually happens is that the replacing tool/widget doesn't offer the same parity as what it's designed to replace. You'll need to review the Analysis Tool help doc to see if your workflow is possible with it and, if not, submit an ESRI Idea to backfill the functionality lost. It absolutely sucks but this is how ESRI has continued to operate. ... View more

There are a lot of samples and snippits and it's a challenge tying it all together since no single sample usually accomplishes what you want. I'm by no means a seasoned veteran at this but here's the code I developed to label features in Pro the same way I was accustomed to in Arcmap. I disagree with much of Pro's forced workflow and labels in feature classes is one of them. It's overkill for adding 30 or 50 labels for a map but I digress.. This tool attempts to replicate the Arcmap label tool- label symbology is defined in each layer and the tool will obtain that based on what features were clicked on. I also tried to implement layer hierarchy so that the feature that gets labelled is the one the drew on top of the other features (point on a line, line on a polygon, etc). Anyways, this won't do what you want right out of the box but hopefully this ties together some of the tasks you need to pull off your labelling and you can modify where you need to do things differently.

To my knowledge, the answer is no, and it's surprising that ESRI has not addressed this as this is a pretty common need. ESRI does have a sample for WebApp Builder that does precisely this (link here) but elevating it to standard functionality hasn't happened yet (I've mentioned this to the devs at the UC). ...

ESRI has several "feedback" maps where users can identify issues and request corrections/updates- ESRI Basemap Feedback ESRI Imagery Basemap Feedback Open either map, draw a polygon around your area of interest and add a description of what is needed. There's no guarantee that ESRI will actually do it but it's at least logged and they'll look at it.   ... View more

You can try specifying the area of interest in the Imagery Feedback application. Whether ESRI follows through on that is an entirely different matter but that is one of the options for requesting updates to the imagery basemap. ... View more
