I'd love to get involved in this properly! Wanted to organise something last year as well. But just so much on the go - it aint gonna happen!

Hi Nick. We did manage to resolve this (more by luck than process). There was a delay to our organisation paying the Esri bill, and thus we were running on a month-by-month extension until it was sorted. Once the bill had been paid and we reverted to our annual subscription then the issue just disappeared! This scenario also impacted our ability to log new Support tickets online (we had to email or phone support directly as we supposedly had no authorised callers).

I figured this was possible, but a dedicated ability to search on from the easy-to-access search functions would be handy.

It would be handy if I could search for content by Username in ArcGIS Online through the main search tools instead of having to navigate to Organisation > Members > Content. I would like to enter a username (or partial username) and see all the content within our organisation that is owned by matching users (include a filter option to only return users instead of content or groups).

Currently, if you're looking for the Rest End Point URL for a feature service in ArcGIS Online, you need to navigate to the parent layer and then the sublayer to find each URL. For newbies, this can be a bit confusing, especially as the URL info and "Copy" button tend to be located down the page far enough that if you don't scroll, you won't see it. And if you only copy the parent layer URL, this won't get you the correct URL for your needs (i.e. pulldata in Survey123). IDEA: Include sublayer URL's on the Parent page in the "Layers" section for rapid locating, viewing and copying as well as clarity around what each URL applies to. Move the Parent layer URL to above the Layers section to clearly delineate it from the other URL's options.

The best alternative I've just come up with is a Map Series based on features that contain attachments. I created a super basic Model that creates a copy of the required features and their attachments locally (on our server instead of in ArcGIS Online). It is essentially just the Export Features tool but with "Maintain Attachments" enabled and maintains the original ObjectID as well (for labelling) and preset output location based on project location. The Map Series is basically a layout with a map at the bottom and a Picture at the top and the picture is dynamically linked to the index feature used in the Map Series. This way I get a PDF with one page per picture (even with multiple pictures per feature based on the join used for the symbology mentioned below) and the map shows which feature the picture is from. This links back to the overview map containing other statistics and data. The points also have the photo's shown as part of the symbology using the steps discussed here: Re: Labelling points with attached photos - Esri Community Main Map Photos Map Series

Thanks for trying - if you tried all that, I doubt I'm going to make it work. Will look at options for modelling a download of the data to feed to a pre-configured layer.

Hi Johannes. I'm keen to try this out (while I patiently wait for the Dev team as ESRI to implement my ideas below!). Could this be done using ArcGIS Online feature service features and attachments? I can't figure out where to find the attachments table data source path to try. Don't want to have to download attachments if possible!

It would be great if in ArcGIS Pro we could display feature attachments (images) in a callout pointing back to the feature containing it. This would be great for maps we make showing fire damage where field staff attach photos to points in Field Maps and in the office we produce damage assessments. Settings could let you specify callout sizes, arrangement, tolerances, buffers, overlaps (all very similar to labelling options) as well as how you want an image to fit within a callout (fill, gaps, rotation, etc).

We have maps that we produce in ArcGIS Pro and a significant part of these can be the location of features containing attachments and also showing the attachments. In the past, this would mean showing the points on a layout (in the map frame) with a number label, then on a separate layout we would manually load each photo (after already downloading them) and applying a text label to refer back to the points with. IDEA: Create an "Attachment Gallery" element item that dynamically updates based on features visible in your map extent. Any attachments of features in the map extent would be displayed in the gallery element. Settings for the element could include options to influence the attachment size (fitting options such as: minimum/maximum width/height, fill element, stacked, etc.), overflow options, count options (maybe as a separate dynamic text option), arrangement options (i.e. top to bottom - left to right, centre outwards, etc), framing options (add a frame to each photo), overlap tolerances (allowing more photo's into a full space), rotation options (force portrait, force landscape, maintain original, random), attachment format filter (JPEG, PNG, PDF (preview), TIFF, etc) Being able to link this to a map frame on a separate layout would be even better so you could maximise your map space and your gallery space on 2 different sheets.

When using the Calculate Geometry* GP tool, under the Property field you have a choice of "Area" and "Area (geodesic)", but only when a projected coordinate system is used by the map or selected from the Coordinate System drop down. In cases where the map is in an unprojected coordinate system, the "Area" (planar) option doesn't appear until after a projected coordinate system is selected from the drop down below the Geometry Attributes section. IDEA: Put the "Coordinate System" section above the "Geometry Attributes" section so that the "Property" list is appropriately attributed (with both Planar and Geodesic options) in relation to the intended CS. At present, the ordering of fields doesn't follow the logical pattern of working your way down the screen, but from the top, to the bottom then back to the middle to get Planar options. *there may be other tools where this applies too, but this is the main one I know of and use

We manage this by doing something similar to yourself. We have a point, line and polygon layer called Scrap_Geometry (i.e. Scrap_Points). These feature services are loaded into every map we produce. You could restrict the amount of stuff that users see by setting the layers to only show features created by that user on their setting pages. We don't do that though - it's just a generic dump location for anything that doesn't have a home in whatever map the user is using. Yes, it's getting pretty cluttered, no we don't actively monitor it - it is long overdue for a major clean-out, but it serves it's purpose well. We recently even added a "Class" field to enable users to capture different types of information in the same location (layers are symbolised by the Class field). This means users are able to differentiate between features by using different classes (i.e. capture some errant weeds as Class 1 and a washed-out culvert as Class 2).
