I suppose this is more of a question for Esri staff... Is the ability to add records to a related table using Collector an anticipated enhancement anytime in the future? If so, is there any sort of time table for this implementation? We have field staff that do many different types of inspections and having the ability to select a feature and create a non-spatial related record would be an ideal workflow for something similar to inspections. I am just curious if this is anywhere close to a possibility...?

Have you tried using the AttributeAssistant tools that Esri has? They can be found within the Water Utility Network Editing download found here. You will get a sample geodatabase and map document. We only use the Attribute Assistant add-in, which can be used to automate all kinds of editing tasks...not just utility data. You will need to install the AttributeAssistant add-in and copy in the DynamicValue and GenerateId tables found within the sample geodatabase. Rules are built within the DynamicValue and GenerateId tables and there are examples within the downloaded data which you can use for reference, as well as the links below. I think for what you're after, you'll want to read up on the GENERATE_ID method within the DynamicValue table.

I believe I found the answer I was after... select Shape.STArea() as 'Area' from 'Parcel' Just as it appears in ArcMap and ArcCatalog.

Does anyone know if it's possible to extract the shape details of a polygon (area, length) within a SQL Server query/view using a feature class with SQL geometry as the shape storage type...? Ex: I have a parcel feature class and I want to create a SQL Server (2008 R2) query/view within SQL Server that displays all the areas of the polygons...similar to the Shape.STArea() field within ArcMap/ArcCatalog. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

We have field users who are trying to add picture attachments to already created points but their attachments don't seem to be getting pushed to the database. The file that's trying to be attached is roughly 1.5MB in size ... so it's not a large file that's trying to be uploaded. They are Internet Explorer as their web browser and a hot spot for their internet access. When I try adding a picture as an attachment from here in the office, I don't have a problem doing so. I'm wondering if anyone has ideas what could be causing the issue on their end?

Through the label expression. I'm trying to label two fields in the label expression, each with a white font, but DIFFERENT halo colors.

‎08-07-2014

Which values within the code provided need to be swapped out with my data?

‎08-07-2014

Does anyone know if it's possible to format a halo within a label expression? For example, format the halo color like you would a font color. Thanks in advance.

Nothing else...script works well... Unless you can convince my IT dept to give my username sufficient privileges to execute scheduled tasks from my machine Thanks!

Todd Ulery‌, I found the python for windows extensions and that seems to have done what I was after. Below is a sample of the script I'm using: from win32com.client import Dispatch xl = Dispatch('Excel.Application') wb = xl.Workbooks.Open(r'...path to file...') wb.RefreshAll() wb.Close(True) Like I said, this seems to have worked for me.

We have data in an Excel spreadsheet that is linked to a web xml file. This data contains lat/long positions which we use to convert the data into a feature class. I already have a script created that will convert the data to a feature class, but to update the data within the spreadsheet, I need to manually open the Excel file, refresh all the data connections (4 different worksheets), save, and close. I'm pretty new to python and am looking for a way to automate the process of opening, refreshing all data connections, saving, and closing an Excel file in order to fully automate this process. Does anyone have a python example of opening, refreshing data connections, saving, and closing an Excel file? Thanks in advance!

Robert, I created another app placing widgets in both the header controller and the 3 placeholders under the geocode widget in the foldable theme. This time around it seems like the widgets all work whether in the header or placeholders. Maybe it was a fluke the first time around...?

Robert, Those changes did the trick. The print widget was working because for some reason it didn't have 'webappbuilder/apps/12' in the config line. I really appreciate you taking the time to look at this!

Can do...how do you want to transfer the zip file?

‎07-30-2014

Yep...that's right. All widgets work fine when inside WAB, but when deployed, only the print widget works...all others give errors.
