I'm attempting to modify the widths of 4 columns displayed in a data container/table which I customized from the Tax Parcel Viewer (Tax Parcel Viewer | ArcGIS for Local Government ). Out of the box, the template had 2 columns displayed and I've added 2 additional columns. Now I cannot get the headers and results to line up with one another. I've attempted to modify the header and field and widths in locator.js. However, no matter what I input, field width seems to be overridden (CSS perhaps?). The actual column widths seem to be more driven by the table contents rather than the specified width. As you can see in the images, the field widths are different. Header code: var tableHeader = document.createElement("table");             tableHeader.className = "tblSearchHeader";             var tbodyHeader = document.createElement("tbody");             tableHeader.appendChild(tbodyHeader);             var trHeader = document.createElement("tr");             tbodyHeader.appendChild(trHeader);             trHeader.className = "trAddressGray";             var tdParcelId = document.createElement("td");             trHeader.appendChild(tdParcelId);             tdParcelId.style.width = "47px";             tdParcelId.innerHTML = "Record";             var spanUp = document.createElement("span");             spanUp.innerHTML = "&#9650";             spanUp.id = "spanUp";             spanUp.style.marginLeft = "5px";             tdParcelId.appendChild(spanUp);             var tdTaxMap = document.createElement("td");             tdTaxMap.innerHTML = "Tax Map";             tdTaxMap.style.width = "70px"             trHeader.appendChild(tdTaxMap);             var spanUpTaxMap = document.createElement("span");             spanUpTaxMap.innerHTML = "&#9650";             spanUpTaxMap.id = "spanTaxMap";             spanUpTaxMap.style.marginLeft = "5px";             tdTaxMap.appendChild(spanUpTaxMap);             var tdAddress = document.createElement("td");             tdAddress.innerHTML = "Location";             tdAddress.style.width = "70px"             trHeader.appendChild(tdAddress);             var spanUpAdd = document.createElement("span");             spanUpAdd.innerHTML = "&#9650";             spanUpAdd.id = "spanUpAdd";             spanUpAdd.style.marginLeft = "5px";             tdAddress.appendChild(spanUpAdd);             var tdOwnerId = document.createElement("td");             tdOwnerId.innerHTML = "Owner";             tdAddress.style.width = "20%"             trHeader.appendChild(tdOwnerId);             var spanUpOwn = document.createElement("span");             spanUpOwn.innerHTML = "&#9650";             spanUpOwn.id = "spanUpOwn";             spanUpOwn.style.marginLeft = "5px";             tdOwnerId.appendChild(spanUpOwn); Field/Attribute Code:     var parcelID = attributes[displayFields[0]];     td.innerHTML = parcelID;     td.style.width = "61px";     var td1 = document.createElement("td");     var taxMapNo = attributes[displayFields[1]];     td1.innerHTML = taxMapNo;     td1.style.width = "70px";     var td2 = document.createElement("td");     var parcelLoc = attributes[displayFields[2]];     td2.innerHTML = parcelLoc;     td2.style.width = "85px";     var td3 = document.createElement("td");     var owner = attributes[displayFields[3]];     td3.innerHTML = owner;     //td3.style.width = "45px";     tr.setAttribute("addressValue", parcelLoc); Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! ...

I'm attempting to deploy the Tax Parcel Viewer template as a replacement for our County's parcel viewer. At this point, I've got the application up and "running" but the Locate tool doesn't seem to be working. When I enter a tax parcel id or address, I just get the progress bar and never get a result. Also, I can zoom and pan within the map, which works great, but I can't click on a parcel and get the Info Window to pop up. I am using a slightly different schema than provided by the LGIM, but I (thought) made all the necessary changes in the config.js file to accommodate the schema. I'm sure it's something simple, I just can't figure it out! Ideas? ... View more

Each year, we bill our customers a rate based on the acreage they own on 12/31 of that year. Due to situations beyond my control, plats are recorded slowly, and record numbers (our unique ID) are not applied in a timely and consistent fashion. This year, we received plats stamped in 2016 prior to receiving all of the 2015 plats. ​ ​I know the parcel fabric history tab can be used to "roll back" time to a point where parcels have no system end date (NULL), which seems to be the best way to produce a temporal snapshot. However, due to the uneven nature of how they are delivered, we can't rely on the system end date to provide that snapshot. Any ideas how to best handle this situation so we can take that snapshot annually? ... View more

​I understand that ZCTA's and zip codes can be different in places. The ZCTAs represent zip code aggregations at the block level. Does anyone know if there is any way to determine which blocks had data points with more than 1 zip code? ... View more

I've got a series of MXDs with definition queries with file gdb-specific syntax. I'd like to batch modify those DQs to work with enterprise gdb syntax. Not every layer has a DQ, and not all DQs are the same. The problem I'm running into is with the expressions portion... the function is passing 'SHAPE.STLength()' with the quotes to the definition query, which doesn't match the syntax (need it without the quotes). Changing them to double quotes returns similar results, and removing the quotes all together causes the function to fail. Any ideas? import arcpy from arcpy import env from os import path env.workspace = ws = r"C:\temp\DefQueryScript\test1" expressions = {     'shape_length'  : 'SHAPE.STLength()',     'shape_area'    : 'SHAPE.STArea()',     'SHAPE_Length'  : 'SHAPE.STLength()',     'SHAPE_Area'    : 'SHAPE.STArea()',     'SHAPE_length' : 'SHAPE.STLength()',     'SHAPE_area'   : 'SHAPE.STArea()', } def letsGetThisPartyStarted():     ''' For each Map Document in the workspace, check each layer for a         definition query, and if found, update it according to the contents of         the expression dictionary.'''     print "Let's get this party started!\n"     mxds = getMXDs()     for i, mxd in enumerate(mxds):         for layer in getLayers(mxd):             evaluateExpression(layer)         saveMXD(mxd, i) def getMXDs():     ''' Create a list of each Map Document in the workspace(s).'''     mxds = [arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(m) for m in arcpy.ListFiles("*.mxd")]     return mxds def getLayers(mxd):     ''' Collects all feature layer in a Map Document.'''     print "{0} layers:\n".format(mxd.filePath)     layers = [l for l in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd) if l.isFeatureLayer]     return layers def evaluateExpression(lyr):     ''' If the layer has a Definition Query, update that query using the         dictionary of expressions.'''     if lyr.definitionQuery:         for exp in expressions.items():             key, value = exp[0], exp[1]             if key in lyr.definitionQuery:                 updateDefinitionQuery(lyr, key, value)     else:         print "        {0}: No Definition Query found\n".format(lyr.name)         pass def updateDefinitionQuery(lyr, old_exp, new_exp):     ''' Replaces the old expression with the new one.
