When embedding a Swipe Map in a single slide of a Sidecar layout in ArcGIS StoryMaps, we don't have a quick way for the viewer to identify the titles or content shown on the left and right sides of the map being compared. In regular swipe maps not embedded in a sidecar slide, you can fill out the caption below the map, but this is not an option in the Sidecar layout. The caption is not the perfect solution, but would be an improvement over the current Sidecar layout. I would prefer to have some type of floating title appear above each side of the map to easily identify the content you are comparing on the left with the content being displayed in the right. For instance: "Data from 2000" vs. "Data from 2020". I have tried to use the Legend for this purpose, but in Swipe maps, a single legend is shown on the left side of the map with items from both sides, which requires additional text explanation for the viewer. I am currently adding 2 sketch layers to the maps that display the year as text to get around this issue, but it looks unprofessional.

I'm also trying to figure how to display the layer Description in my Legend. ArcGIS Pro 3.3.6. I have a stand-alone layer, not grouped, with Single Symbol symbology that I've added a Label and Description to in the Primary Symbology properties. When I select the layer's Legend Item in the Element Pane, "Show... Descriptions" is checked but grayed out, even though "Description" is part of the "Arrangement". In this state, I can get the "Label" to show in the Legend, but not the Description. There is no indication of items "overflowing" out of my legend area (red ellipses). I'm wondering if which Layout type I am using matters? For instance, I am using the "Manual Columns" fitting strategy, with Word Wrapping enabled for both Labels and Descriptions.

Hi Randy, we have a similar deployment at our firm. Some, but not all, of our users are also experiencing blacked out viewer panes and unresponsive controls when updating the displayed layers via symbology or definition queries. This sometimes results in a Windows message that a process has become unresponsive and prompts the user to end the task. This does NOT result in Pro quitting, so we think it's an underlying graphics or VDI client process. What version of Horizon are you on and what are your system specs? We had recently updated the VMWare Horizon Client to the rebranded Omissa Horizon Client. This quickly caused a number of issues and IT rolled us back to what we thought was the last stable version of VMWare Horizon Client: 2312.1, build 8.12.1 (23531249). Host OS Version of Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.19045.5965. GPU is NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (A16-2Q) We're running ArcGIS Pro 3.1.1. Most of our data is stored on our network as shapefiles and file geodatabases, but we also use ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3 services.

As my organization transitions to using Pro for all of our reports, we are bringing along a lot of legacy shapefile and shapefile based workflows. Many of our modelers and scientists use software or python scripts that can only create shapefiles, so we will continue to reference these shapefiles in our ArcGIS Pro projects when creating our reports. Python specifically allows users to create unsupported file and field names with no check to see if they are valid. Pro will open and display most shapefiles even when they have file names that are too long, with unsupported characters in their file names as well as field names. It is not until you get to a particular query/symbology/editing or geoprocessing process that you run into issues, and often the error message produced is generic and does not let you know that bad shapefile naming practices are to blame. For instance, the Project Package tool that zips up an APRX along with all of the files referenced in the maps ("Share Outside Organization") will fail with "General Function Failure" when your project references shapefiles with bad naming, even though the project was functioning normally. Is there currently a way, possibly using Python, to scrape all Data Sources in an APRX and to see if any are shapefiles with unsupported file or field names? I'd like this tool to produce a list of the files at the very least. Ideally it would also tell a user what specifically is unsupported. The logical next tool would take these files and import them into the default project geodatabase, hopefully correcting any of the unsupported naming in the process.

This fixed the issue for me, too! I republished twice trying to clear the bug with no luck. Thanks for posting @AndrewRoberts1 ! It would be great if @RussRoberts could mark @AndrewRoberts1 's response as the correct solution so it was easier to find.

I'm also having this issue in ArcGIS Enteprise Portal 11.3. -Attachments were uploaded via the web items data page (in a browser) after the features were published from Pro. -The images are PNGs around 70KB, 330x2550 pixels. -I am using the standard URL expression for showing attachments in the media section of the pop-up in the new Map Viewer: //Attachment URL Expression var Part1 = "https://{portalmachine}/server/rest/services/Hosted/{FeatureServerName}/FeatureServer/0/" var fid = $feature.fid var Part2 = "/attachments/" var AttachID = $feature.att_id When($feature.att_count > 0, Part1 + fid + Part2 + AttachID, null) -I can add the expression as text to the pop-up and the link will open successfully in a new tab (the URL is valid and the image can be displayed in a browser). -If I am editing the Web Map in Map Viewer, the images will eventually display in my preview pop-ups. But they are almost always blank for my users (but not always, perhaps due to caching?).

To resolve the issue, I had our engineers move the complex charts and graphs they were making in separate sheets in the Excel file to another workbook that calls the data from this workbook. Once I cleared Pro's cache and reduced the Excel workbook down to a single sheet, it consistently opened.

Some employees at my org are also getting this error when trying to open an APRX with a layer joined to an excel table on our fileshare server. It works for some employees and not for others (all have access to the file). Running Pro 3.1 and 3.3. We get "Failed to open table - The source data of the Layer or Standalone table is disconnected. If I try to preview the sheet from the Catalog Pane, I get the error "Not running inside a server process." If I try to add the sheet to my map's Table of Contents, I get "Error: 0x80040501".

Hi Jonah, I'm testing this in Pro 3.3.4 for a company wide deployment, and I'm not seeing any files in this folder location get automatically deleted while publishing (like you suggest I should see) or after a machine restart. This includes an APRX and thumbnail.png in addition to the log and SharingInfo.json. Is this expected behavior? I'd like to NOT have to remind all of our staff to remember to manually clean this folder out regularly when their virtual machine runs out of memory.

I am customizing a new silent install to upgrade my organization from Pro 3.1 to 3.3 and I came across a possible solution in the Silent Install documentation. Under "Project>Local Project Settings" in the "ArcGISPro.settingsConfig" file, you can designate a default geodatabase path AS A SUGGESTION, and give users the ability to point to an existing or create a new geodatabase in the dialog box. Here is the wording from the documentation (italics mine): Note: The default option is to create a default geodatabase for each project. If isLocked="false" and a path is specified, the path appears as a suggestion in the Location text box until the user chooses the option to use the same default geodatabase for all projects and sets a value. I will be testing this on my machine to see if I get the desired result and will report back. See the documentation below. Administrator Settings

Just upgraded to the latest (3.3.2) and was hoping this had happened. It seems SO simple. We need to start lobbying for upvotes! Hopefully it's because there are some big re-designs happening with the legend UI? The difficulty of the legend is the number one complaint at my company.

Thanks, this worked.

@PaulPetersen1 was the enhancement request specifically when working with nested repeats? I have a form that doesn't automatically create a related record unless you select the "+" button for a single repeat with a count calculation and reference to parent fields when set to "minimal" (expected behavior I want). However, I have a nested repeat later in the form with the same calculation and references that always creates a record even when set to minimal. I removed the calculation and it still did this, so I assume it's because it's a nested repeat that references parent fields.

@JohnathanHasthorpe did any part of this bug get fixed at 3.1? I'm on 3.19.116 and it's apparently still an issue. Any update on if/when we can expect a fix?
