I've had a similar experience with the editor tracking settings, anyone with this problem should definitely check that first. ... View more

Is it safe to say that this functionality does not work if the web map contains ArcGIS Enterprise "Map Image Layers" (formerly known as ArcGIS Server Dynamic Map Services)? I tried setting it up with those in the web map and I was not able to access the Global "$map" entity. As a result the Arcade Expression does not work. But when I add hosted feature layers from ArcGIS Online to the web map it does work. I also assume this would work with an ArcGIS Enterprise feature layer, but I'll have to wait to test that in the future when we have the on-site Portal set up. ... View more

Thought perhaps it was a browser issue but the problem is experienced in Chrome 71, Firefox Quantum 64 and IE 11. ... View more

The Opioid dashboard is a good example of this. In case you haven't figured out how to do it yet -- it doesn't require any code. You should be able to use the 3 existing web maps you have in one dashboard (each map will become a tab). The key is to "stack" the web maps (add map --> drag --> stack on top of other map). Click on the map tab you want to work with. Then as you add elements like charts you can drag and hold the shift key down to dock them in the currently-enabled tab. When you are dragging the items the docking elements turn green. ... View more

Interesting...this same question came up yesterday at the Milwaukee County GIS User meeting! I'm looking forward to any feedback as well because my orgs will be making the switch soon... ... View more

Reading some recent esri blogs I found another way to display 1:M attributes in pop-ups. If you have a hosted feature service in AGOL (not sure if this works in Enterprise portal) you can use the Join Features tool to create a 1:1 join. You can then define which value from the 1:M table to show: most recent date, for example. Then you can set the output to be a "hosted feature layer view" which can then be used to create pop-ups of the selected 1:M attributes. Because it is a hosted view it updates as you enter more rows in the :M table. Limitation ~ the output only includes a feature when there is a join, all others are dropped (until a :M entry is created). ... View more

Vote up for this (really old) idea! The setting for time zone should be in the AGOL feature service properties somewhere. You should not have to re-publish the service to change it. ... View more

This is a critical update that needs to be added ASAP. While it is nice to have the new option, we always default to feet for scales and rarely use miles. In many other WAB widgets you can set similar defaults and also the options available for the end user (see Measure tool). ... View more

This would be a great enhancement for me as well. I haven't had to do it yet (change to a new web map but keep dashboard widget settings), but I know it will happen sometime. It might be possible to do this through the AGOL Assistant / JSON editor, but it would be nice to do it right in the designer. ... View more

Hi Amanda, I was experimenting with this recently and my (admittedly quick) initial findings were that you can use the ArcGIS Online Assistant to update ItemIDs and feature service URL references in app widgets. But you need to make sure you properly catch every instance of the URLs/ItemIDs. I was able to get this quick test to work: Update the web map using the I Want to --> Update the URL of services in the map (as you know, this updates the map but then breaks the widgets). Update all of the layer references in the I Want To --> View an Items JSON --> click App --> manually Update all URL references and/or ItemID references in the JSON in both the Description and Data areas. I used Brackets to work with the code, and made sure I backed up the original JSON. In my apps I found that I had to update full URLs for the widgets, not ItemIDs. That is likely the result of the way I added the services to my web map originally - I directly pasted ArcGIS Server URLs rather than add registered services. Doing these steps (carefully) resulted in a web app with widgets and map layers that were changed from one map service to another. The caveat is, of course, that the feature class data structure should be identical (i.e. same attribute columns). If it isn't, then you might need to dig further into the JSON code. Also, I only tested relatively simple widgets (Search), I don't know how crazy it gets with ones like Infographics. As with all of this, it would be best to try it in a test version before working on production data. Heed Esri's warning that "this is untested and unsupported"... ... View more

I was able to create a dashboard similar to the Law Enforcement Daily Activity Dashboard example where there are tabs in the lower-left. Steps to do that: You need a unique web map for each of the tabs designed to match the layouts you have.  As you add each web map, when you click the "Drag Item" button, you can dock the maps "on top of each other" (let go of the map in the center of the other one when it says "Stack the items"). Then you can start adding other elements (chart, list, guage, etc), click "Drag Item" and hold the shift key to dock them in the tab of your choice. When you hold the shift key the docking areas turn green. I think the year buttons in the Arizona Disaster Mitigation Projects dashboard are Category Selectors in a Header, which makes them queries of the single web map. I could be wrong about that though. ... View more

Yes, I *Always* check the delete protection option for practically everything I create in ArcGIS Online. My worry is that, even with that protection, an accidental deletion could still happen. Also, I've had experiences where users ask if we can restore a previous layer version because they accidentally deleted data they didn't mean to. Seems the best we can do now is vote for this Idea of an "Auto Backup" process. ... View more

Although I haven't encountered this problem yet, I worry about it happening. I'd be curious and appreciative to find out what the answer is if you contact tech support. ... View more
