No, there isn't a way to customize directions or how they're displayed at this time. Also, I'm still investigating the issue in enterprise portal. Would you be able to tell me what version of portal you're using? ... View more

I noticed that in the screenshot of Pro that you provided, the one in dark theme, below the directions instructions, there's a part for Events, and that's where the landmarks get reported. When you expand Events, does that show the correct reporting of the landmarks? In some sample data, I copied some system junctions to a new feature class, gave them names, and set them up as landmarks. When I solved a route for that area, I did see the landmarks reported under the Events expander.   I'm not sure what's going on with the directions in the enterprise portal, so I'll continue to look into that. ...

Ah, ok. Let me do some testing here. I can reproduce that situation fairly easily. Hopefully I can reproduce the results just as easily. ... View more

Ah, ok. Are the Gates_Source_features and the Gates_Landmarks feature spatially coincident? ... View more

Are you able to remove the gates as junction sources in the ND? We don't recommend having landmarks as edge or junction sources and it could be causing some issues.  If that doesn't work, would you be able to post a sample of the data, with a network dataset and a route through a gate, showing that it's not generating the direction? ...

Are the gates set up as a turn or confirmation landmark? That might be what's going on. If they're set up as Turn landmarks, then if they're at the intersection of 2 edges that constitute a straight "turn" (within a 30 degree azimuth, I believe) then you might not be getting them used in the directions. Also make sure that you have the label field set up for them, so that it's reporting the right info. To check the type of landmark, look at the Guidance column.   ... View more

Hi Jamal, The SA polygon symbology is based on the ToBreak field. It shows in the table of contents as 'Cutoff' because there is a symbol group set up in Symbology Pane. It's named 'Cutoff' because that is what the parameter on the analysis layer is called. If you would like it to be called something else, you can change the name to something else from that control in the Classes tab of the Symbology pane. -Rachel ... View more

Hi Bill, This is not my area of expertise, so unfortunately I can't help. But Colin Lawrence‌ should be able to help! -Rachel ... View more

Hi Katie, I'm assuming that your polyline feature to which you want the distance is in a separate feature class than your road centerlines are. If that's not the case, let me know. You could try creating point at every intersection of the roads with your polyline feature (You could use the Intersect tool for this, Intersect—Help | ArcGIS Desktop ). The create an OD Cost Matrix Analysis layer (OD cost matrix analysis layer—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop ) and load the intersection points in as your destinations and the other points in as origins. Then solve for the 1 closest destination. Note, using the OD Cost Matrix analysis will return straight line geometry output, but the distances reported will be for the driving distance. If you want the actual geometry, then use the Closest Facility analysis (Closest facility analysis layer—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop ) and load the intersection points as facilities and the other points as the incidents. Hope this helps! -Rachel ... View more

Hi Jonathan, Are you using your own data for the network dataset or are you using our routing service? If you're using your own data (whether locally or in a service), then on the network dataset, you can set up the Turn category evaluator—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop in Pro or the About global turns—Help | ArcGIS Desktop (Global Turn Delay Evaluator) in ArcMap. Keep in mind that using this will alter the final cost that gets returned for the route (because it'll be adding seconds on to every turn). But it should help you avoid left turns, if you set the left turn up to have a higher delay than the other turns. Let me know if this helps! -Rachel ... View more

Hi Bill, It would help them to see your data. If you can't do a screenshare, then are you able to send them a copy of your stops? If you have to remove some fields from it to sanitize it, that's fine. The more information you can provide, the better. -Rachel ... View more

Hi Joe, It looks like the data being used for demand points is in a table (at least in the data provided as an attachment). In order to load them in as demand points, you'd need to create a feature class from the table first. How are you doing that? Do you right click on the table in the Contents pane and choose Display XY? And what coordinate system are you setting for the output feature class? Once you have the points in a feature class and you go to load them in as demand points, what settings are you using? Are you leaving all the defaults. Screenshots of any GP tools you use (and any other screenshots you think would be handy) would be very useful. When I display the xy locations from the table and load them in as demand points, I see everything is located. -Rachel ... View more

Hi Andres, Ok, based on the information you've provided, it looks like you want to connect the BT nodes to the MT nodes with the least amount of cable/wire/whatever used to connect all the BT nodes. If that's not your goal, please let me know, because the answer to your question might change. If that is what you are trying to do, then that's what's called a minimum spanning tree problem Minimum spanning tree - Wikipedia . We do not have a solver in Network Analyst that would solve that problem. So the Closest Facility solver is not going to give you what you want, unfortunately.  You can solve for a minimum spanning tree using the networkx module for python Introduction — NetworkX 2.4 documentation . Check out the information for trees (including the minimum spanning tree) in here Tree — NetworkX 2.4 documentation . The good news is that you don't have to start from scratch with this. Using the arcpy.nax network dataset object (new in Pro 2.4) NetworkDataset—Network Analyst module | ArcGIS Desktop , you can export your network dataset edges to a networkx graph so that you can use that for the analysis. (As a note, based on your screenshots, it looks like you're using ArcMap. You'll need to at least install ArcGIS Pro 2.4 or newer in order to access the arcpy.nax module). Here https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=b2227f745a6c4e1c94dd57810729d2a9 is a sample we published showing the export of network dataset edges to a networkx graph. Keep in mind that this sample only exports the edges for topology; it does not export the costs associated with the edges, which you'll need to do in order to solve for your minimum spanning tree. As I said above, if I haven't understood what you're trying to do correctly, please let me know and I can look into it a bit more. I hope this helps, Andres! -Rachel ... View more
