Xander Bakker‌, This is pretty clever! When I test the expression i get the desired URL. However, in Collector Beta, the custom expression simply appears as a string...not a URL you can click on to launch the app. What am I missing here? [Latest version of Collector Beta for Android]. I am able to get a basic test pop-up 'working' for old Collector using a 'custom attribute display' (like the earlier blog posts show), but this obviously doesn't have the Arcade functionality and you need to have a pre-attributed X&Y field. I don't believe that old Collector/Collector classic supports the Arcade expressions. ... View more

Tim Minter‌ Derek Law‌ Users seem to be confused because in Portal they can search for Portal items & ArcGIS Online items intuitively. (Presuming you've configured your enterprise site to allow ArcGIS Online content of course). In Pro you need to log out of Portal and log into ArcGIS Online. This presumes all of your user base has an ArcGIS Online account in addition to their Portal accounts, whereas in the Portal configuration this is not necessary. ... View more

Right. So you have to switch back and forth from AGO to your Enterprise Portal for each search, right? Which is odd because when you're in the map viewer in Portal you can choose either from the drop down. Maybe I'm missing something in Pro? Using latest release. ... View more

Perhaps I missed something but I thought the original discussion included the ability to search AGO in Pro while logged into an Enterprise Portal. ... View more

I found some something that works over on SE.  A thanks to ianbroad for this one, I was able to modify it...so super simple. If anyone has any additional suggestions, that would be great too! fc=Feature field = "DIST" values = [row[0] for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(fc, field)] top_eight = sorted(values)[:8] query = "\"{0}\" in {1}".format(field, tuple(top_eight)) arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(fc, "top_8_layer", query)‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

An important question! Not and enterprise GDB, using fGDB mostly for intermediate data in a longer process. thanks. ... View more

It's my understanding that when you call a second script from a first script, __name__ = main in the first script but not in the second script:  __name__ = the script name itself (sans .py extension) and both of them need to be in the same directory. This right here is something I really need to get my head around! I keep getting confused on this. ... View more

Got pulled back to project work. This is all very helpful. As I start to wrap my head around this more I'm understanding a bit better the need for modularity and organization...it's just applying that which is still the challenge for me. Based on everything I've read in this thread, so far it seems like what will benefit me the most in this situation is to organize several related functions into one module. I can then call them up as needed. Thanks so much to everyone! EDIT: I recently saw this article in my inbox regarding building command line interfaces with Python if anyone is interested. ...

ok, that makes way more sense and I had success using the python cmd prompt and supplying an arrangement. thanks so much! So is there a way to run a script from the interactive python window, or is my solution more like creating a master module that just calls up a bunch of my other single-purpose modules?  Let me try to explain what I'm hoping to achieve. Often while working along in Pro (although I could be doing the same in Jupyter Lab I guess) I want to pull some info for a given client or property. So each module might have a single function that generates a report. Rather than run each module, I want to run all of them in one script/master module. The only argument that needs to be passed to each module is like a client identifier so this should be pretty straightforward. I'd prefer to not have to jump out to the python command prompt but also don't want the overhead of rolling these up into a script tool in a Pro toolbox. ... View more

I've had so many  different tweaks to this it's been hard to keep track (kinda banging my head against the wall here). In the current permutation shown above if I attempt to import functiontest2 into the python window in Pro I receive the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "\\fileshare\SCRIPTS\functiontest2.py", line 3, in <module> HarvestThing = sys.argv[1] IndexError: list index out of range‍‍‍‍‍ ...
