Hi All. Simple idea\request. While publishing content from Pro (whether web maps or layers), there is only a sub selection of item description fields available compared to item descriptions on AGO or Portal. This means that once you are done publishing in Pro, you have to go back to AGO or Portal and finish adding the rest of the information (and then obviously this information is not in your aprx either, which is frustrating). This just seems silly not having the same fields between platforms. From what I can tell, Pro only has the "Name", "Summary", and "Tag" fields, but does not include fields for "Description", "Categories", "Credits (Attribution)", and "Terms of Use". For us, we really need everything filled out. Having to bounce between platforms to get all the item descriptions filled out also lends itself to more items missing that information generally, which isn't good. Obviously, if the item needs to be overwritten, updated, or any changes are needed on the item descriptions, it would be nice to do all this in one place in Pro. It's the simple things in life that go a long way 😉

Hi @JFarmer, Thanks for the response and looking forward when you will post that blog. In this particular space, I think we are hoping to reduce our overall software and infrastructure footprint as well as the hope to write business driven workflows, rather than system driven workflows. If we can utilize a SaaS offering for workflow manager to handle both Enterprise and AGO needs, this would be preferred (we always struggle with availability of network infrastructure). If we have to do on prem, that's fine, just means a little more work. What I really don't want is having to have both because we have both Enterprise and AGO. Having to implement a "flavor" of workflow manager for each platform, I think will become very burdensome, because overall our workflows are not relegated cleanly to these system delineations. For example, being a City, we have a complicated workflow every time our City Boundary changes which includes data updates, notifications, and changes to published services in multiple locations. Feature services are both in our Enterprise system as well as on AGO. Data access, view and audiences are different (private verses pulic). We have many data sets like this. I want to eliminate the need of having to author different workflows based on a system, and instead write one cohesive workflow as it truly exists defined by the business case. Would I have to write double the workflows if we have data in both systems? How do these workflows "talk" or know what step each is at? Having workflows "aware" of what is happening in either platform is important if the "flavor" of workflow manager must be separate. If AGO Workflow is agnostic to what is on Enterprise, and Enterprise Workflow is agnostic to what is on AGO, this is unhelpful. Many organizations use and need both systems, and singular workflows span both systems. Drawing a "line" based on the system platform breaks up workflows (at least I think it will for us), and will create more complexity and overhead, rather than clarity and helpfulness. We also do not have clean deliniations in terms of who uses Online vs Enterprise. Everyone in the org uses both. Some of this in my mind is still somewhat theoretical as we have not implemented any Workflow Manager at all, so I am imaging and projecting in my head how this might work, and I might not understand everything including current system capabilities (hence my oringal question 😉). Would love to discuss more!

Thanks @KristinK_STR! This will be a fantastic resource. Looking forward when you publish something!

Saw that Workflow Manager for ArcGIS Online dropped today. This is a really cool. I am wondering if someone from ESRI could further explain the similarities\differences and capabilities between the online version and on prem Enterprise version. Is there feature parity? Interoperbility? If we have both Enterprise and Online would I need both "flavors" of workflow manager to work with both platforms, or are they interoperable (i.e. can Enterprise workflow manager work with ArcGIS online and can Online Workflow Manager work with Enterprise)? Thanks.

Hi all. I am back from the UC and just wanted to verify\clarify something I heard with the broader community. We are investigating the UN for fiber management for our City. I asked ESRI at the booth if it can do conduit and splicing managment (fundamental needs for managing fiber). I was told that I would need to use a third party solution (i.e. Schneider)? Is this true? If so, then why does ESRI market the UN as a fiber solution if it can't do these fundamentally required things? Hopeing the person at the booth was just wrong.....

Hello. Kudos to ESRI for making the journey to high resolution digital twins more accessible and attainable for organizations. I think many of us were blown away by what was showcased at this year's UC. One thing that would be helpful I think for the community is to understand what would be both the minimum, optimal and important image collection settings (resolution, overlap, sidelap, etc.) and any other BMBs to make these wonderful digital twins such as what was shown in the plenary (City of Cambridge, MA). Knowing these variables is important to develope image acqusition strategies. Thanks.

Hello. I am trying to work through the Development Impact Analysis solution, specifically the shadow impact analysis tools. I have been following the helpful video "Shadow Impact Analysis Tutorial for ArcGIS Pro" on ESRI's website. However, I am stuck at step one - Create Sun Positions task. I have tried with my own data as well as using the exact data and parameters used in the video. No matter what I do or what data I try, I receive the same error below. There seems to be a problem with the underlying python script, receiving a "math domain" error. I have included an example output from the tool below and have only removed my username from file paths for security purposes. Help please.

Re: Map Your UC Experience · ‎06-15-2023

Sorry for the frequent posts. I have been diving into this application and love it! I love the way all of your scheduled sessions sync over and you can see where they are on the map! It is very helpful in seeing where sessions are in relation to one another, particularly gauging how far I am going to have to walk. This is a huge value add to the UC experience. My next item of UC planning is I am currently looking through the long list of vendors at the Expo. Currently, I just printed out the list from the UC site. (list is in alphbetical order per category) and am highlighting on a print out vendors I would like to visit or am interested in. I'm then trying to figure out where all of them are on the Expo floor and try to come up with some kind of "game plan". I would like to see where all of these booths are in relation to one another, be able to track or mark off ones I have visted, etc. I can think of a couple things that could help in this area. If I knew what the underlying webmap was for the application, I could bring it into Pro and be able to create my own "booth visitation" map by selecting the booths of interest. Or perhaps have a way to select vendors that you are interested in visiting in the application and have that be visible on the map, and save this somehow. Or perhaps, the most brute force way, is allow a printing option as @BillFox mentions above so I can highlight booths on paper. You nailed helping navigate sessions, but anything that could help curate the Expo vendor expereince a little more would be awesome.

Guess that means you can close out my idea about this from last year 😉. Again, thanks for doing this. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-indoors-ideas/experience-esri-uc-and-other-in-person-events/idi-p/1184115/load-autosave/true

This is great news! Thanks for making this a reality!

SignUpGenius is great for any kind of reservations where there is a limited amount of "things" or "time slots" that can be specified, and as people sign up, those items or slots reduce in number so things don't get overbooked - leading to eventually if the thing becomes full you can't select it anymore. Is it possible to do the same thing in Survey123? And if so, how? Obviously, the form needs to be smart enough to know what has already been submitted. Not afraid of some light coding if needed (i.e. js functions, arcade, python, webhooks etc).

@SeanKMcGinnis, can you give some insight of what versions of Enterprise, once released, the connector will work with?

Can ArcGIS for Power Automate be used with Enterprise yet? I heard there was supposed to be something in place at the end of 2022.

Hello All. So my question is how do I take the results of several different transformers, and then write the results back to a single arcgis feature? I would basically like to field map the result value from the transformers to specific columns in the feature class table. Screenshot below.
