It's great to see so many useful features rolling out with each update to ArcGIS Online (hello Recyle Bin). However, I do have a bone to pick with the way updates occur. Each time an update is scheduled, there is always apprehension around what I'll need to fix when I get into work the following day. This time was no different. Yet again, I was presented with a new issue - all our offline maps no longer working offline. In this case, it was because of a tightening of the rules around which fields are required for a layer to be considered offline compatible (regardless of if it is editable or not). I had to go through all our maps in Field Maps Designer, open each hsoted view with an error and update the defined fields to include not just the Editor and Edit Date fields (previously required on editable layers only), but also select the Creator and Creation Date fields and to do this on all layers present (regardless of editability status).  IDEA: Prior to implementing an ArcGIS Online update, notifiy admins of changes that may impact the functionality of products hosted in the environment. This would enable us to implement updates ahead of time so that there is no downtime for users and unexpected emergency repair works throwing other works programs on the back burner.  This is particularly prudent due to the mandatory nature of ArcGIS Online updates (no ability to opt-out/delay like you can with ArcGIS Pro).    ...

Scenario: I have a roads layer with attributes denoting different trucking categories. I already have a chunky model (or 3) which takes the primary road layer plus numerous overlaying trucking layers, spatially aligns them (snapping intersections, etc. as they're all independantly created and don't perfectly match despite being from the same custodian) and transfers attributes from the tracking layers to the main road layer.  The image below shows an example of an intersection where the roads that accept trucks are highlighted red but don't meet.   Problem: I use these roads to build a custom network for distance and route generation via Network Analyst in ArcGIS Pro. The gaps in the road network (not my data and not designed for network connectivity - built around asset management) don't meet nicely at intersections (as shown) and I have to manually fix the segments to make connect as per the second screenshot.  Question: Can anyone suggest a way (or series of steps) that could be implemented in Model Builder to fill the gaps between like segments, resulting in something like the below? I imagine there would need to be a tolerance built in, or maybe an identifying overlay polygon layer (which I already have for finding known issue spots).    ... View more
