It is really a necessity to be fully Part 107 compliant to have ready and easy access to FAA Airspace layers. These layers should be one click toggle on\off. I know on the roadmap it will be possible for customers to pull in published layers onto the map themselves, but these FAA layers are so important they just need to be included in the SiteScan platform built in. FAA is a full ESRI customer and publicly publishing these layers. Here is their webapp showing this data\layers. In addition, the FAA's VFR sectional map should be added as a basemap option. Here is an example.

We almost exclusively plan our drone flights ahead of time in the office. We very rarely perform ad-hoc missions in the field. We have to carefully review many factors and don't rush mission planning. In addition, our LAANC requests can sometimes take many days for approval and it doesn't make sense to only request LAANC through the field app. Almost all of our flights are in controlled airspace. It would be nice to have mission planning feature parity between the native field app and the web app. Obviously, any mission plans created in the office would need to be synched and displayed on the device once you do reach the field and are ready to fly.

For disaster or emergency management situations, personnel need to be able to know where UAV's are flying in real time. Staff many times are manning a EOC and viewing webmaps\dashboards up on a screen and need as much situational awareness as possible. Also, being able to track and display a UAV's position is also helpful in the field to equip visual observers with additional intel on the drone's position on a mobile device. Obviously, it would be nice for not only drone position to be "beamed back" to headquarters, but the actual video or pictures being captured too. This obviously requires strong internet connection (and more than likely video compression), but if present, is completely possible in this day and age.

Organizations need to be able to readily and easily answer the questions who, what, where, when, and why for each UAV flight. The best way to accomplish this is for flight history to be graphically displayed. This makes compliance reporting, audits, public information requests, legal inquiries, etc easy to respond to (And maybe even add the ability to export this out to PDF, for the lawyers ).

It just makes natural sense that Workflow Manager should be able to send out webhooks for integration into other systems as well as receive webhooks so GIS workflows can be triggered. Many workflows spill over into other systems, and webhooks is an ideal and uncomplicated way to address this continuity challenge without having to implement a full-on integration project. The news during UC 2020 that Workflow Manager will be becoming all services based makes this an ideal platform for webhook integration.

Allowing AGO and Enterprise to also receive webhooks (in addition to generating), greatly enhances the ability to fully build out automation solutions and allows much easier integrations. The GIS when receiving a webhook could trigger a GP tasks or a notebook as an example. This overall could be a more accessible way to customise and complete advanced integration or workflows without having to have full developer skills or need to understand the APIs. Here is just one workflow example (but the sky's the limit!). An organization has a call-center system. It is not a geo-enabled database, but call takers do take in the caller's address. It could be configured, that when this new record is created to send the caller's address in the payload of the webhook back to the GIS. Upon receipt, the GIS could geocode the address, then create a open work order in Workforce for the organization to follow up. Upon following up, the field worker completes the work order in Workforce which then triggers a webhook out of the GIS back to the call-center system so that the record there can show action was completed. The key to this workflow example is that it must be bi-directional. Being able to integrate systems together via webhooks is far more efficient and simpler than trying to programatically develop a interface between systems and does not necessarily require developer skills (but a power user probably could).

Is anyone aware of any tools\apps\techniques to report on how data\maps\apps are interconnected for a ago org or portal? What I mean is, can I easily find out what maps consume a layer I own? What apps use maps I own, etc? This would be really important Intel in understanding the repercussions say if an item were deleted.

Hi David Wright. I'm sure ESRI is right, but difficult things are worth doing, and if there is will, there is a way. Geoprocessing tasks might be a good fit for Azure functions or AWS Lambda as they are designed for incredibly variable loads and are trigger based serverless compute instances.

It would be nice to be able to publish geoprocessing services to ArcGIS Online in the same way you can publish them to Server. Not everyone has a on-premise solution, but many do have access to AGO. Also, depending on the situation, utilizing the cloud to host these geoprocessing services can be preferable to an on-premise solution. Hosted geoprocessing services could use credits in the same way other published content does. I'm surprised with how far AGO has come this isn't a capability yet.

Hi Paul Sweeney, That requires a little work with the smartsheets api first. Use the Get Row api for one of your smartsheets records. The response will contain an array of your data and it will identify the "columnID". Document the columnIDs that you will want to push back to AGO. You will have to figure out how you want to trigger your flow when a new smartsheet row is added. You can create a webhook in Smartsheets than can send a response to your flow, however I didn't really have the patience for this. It's probably cleaner, but will take longer to properly set up. I found it easier to just have Smartsheets send a email to my outlook account (making sure the email contained my feature GUID [make sure you pass the GUID and ObjectID of you feature from Survey123/GIS into smartsheets]). My flow triggers when I receive this email. Flow parses through the text body of the email to find the GUID. Flow then searches for the smartsheet row with this GUID (the row I was just notified about) using the search api. Then create an array variable that you can store your smartsheet data in. Next, loop (apply to each) through the json items, testing each (use a switch) with the ColumnIds of interest and store in your array. Be sure you pay attention to the order of your data in your array. You then create single variables of your data by composing expressions specifying the data location in the array [0,1,2,3,etc]. Now each data you extracted from the array is segmented individually and you can then plop them into the HTTP request to the ArcGIS REST api. Hope this is helpful.

Hi Paul Sweeney, I expect it is because when Flow autogenerated the schema when you uploaded a sample json, it takes a guess at the type of data (many times erroneously). All you need to do in your schema is delete the type or change it to integer.
