Around a two years ago, I made the permanent transition from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro. All of the data is stored in the same SDE. I noticed that after the transition, when I brought the parcel polygon layer into the map, it came pre-symbolized the same way I had it set up in ArcMap. Hollow fill with bright yellow outline. This happens regardless of the pro project that I bring it in to. I can open a new project and bring parcels in and they are symbolized with a hollow fill and bright yellow outline. It comes in the same everywhere, whereas it used to come in filled with a random color and a solid black outline. You could bring in three copies of it and each copy would by a different color. Now, if I bring in three copies of it, all three will be symbolized the same way. In fact it even pulls in a labeling expression. I actually love this and want to figure out how to replicate it (without having to deal with layer files) because it would be a good way to create and maintain a good cartographic standard. Any ideas on how to change this? ... View more

I am working on moving our GIS data from an old server to a new one. I've created the enterprise geodatabase on the new server, and have imported the schema from the old enterprise geodatabase from the old server. The new server now contains a bunch of empty template feature classes. I now need to figure out the best way to load or append all of the data from the old server into the new one. I have ~500 feature classes to do this for, so I'd prefer not to do it manually. I do not know python well enough to utilize it for this task, so I think my best option is to try and work something out with model builder. Any suggestions? I'm running into a wall because I can't figure out how to tell model builder to append the data from the old server to the feature class that has the same name on the new server. I feel like I'm missing something with the iterators but I can't quite piece it together. ... View more

I am looking to have either integromat or power automate send an email to certain employees when a new feature is added to a AGOL hosted feature service. I have been using integromat so far, and I can get it to send an email each time a new feature is added, but I can't figure out how to access the attribute data for those new features. I would like to have that email formatted to include some information pulled from the feature service. All of ESRI's documentation that I have seen seems to deal with Survey123 and power automate. This video goes over the process but unless I have missed something, it completely glosses over the proper configuration of the first "Parse JSON" module, and I can't figure it out. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide on this. Thank you! ... View more
