Hey Crystal Cowardin, There are two ways that I can think if to achieve this. You could use an arcade expression in your popups to check if the STATUS attribute is TCO and you can then display the rest of the attributes you wish to display. The downside to this method is that you will still get popups for all the points but only some of them will show data in the popup window. The other potential way is to add the layer again to the map and add a filter to the layer to only show the TCO data and setup popups on that layer only. You can then go to the original layer and filter out the TCO points so that they are only being drawn once. Thanks, Ben If this answer has helpful please mark it as helpful.

Hey Zobra, This is a little bit of a different scenario for you. I live in Australia and have been helping out with support to the Australian bush fires. I've also had the unique opportunity of working with multiple agencies that are working to combat these fires. As you can imagine these fires have provide many difficult scenarios that have needed to be overcome by the people working to support the firefighters. In my support to these agencies I've seen a wide range of Esri technologies being used as well as third party apps, custom scripts and workflows. A lot of the agencies are using ArcGIS Pro to produce static maps that are then emailed out and either printed out or uploaded to mobile devices to use offline in the field. Some of the agencies are now starting to see the benefits of live Operations Dashboards and Web maps but unfortunately due to the emergency of the situation these tools haven't been widely adopted yet. One of the most difficult parts I've encountered is trying to bring all the data together at a National level. Each of the states and territories in Australia has it's own fire fighting services with their own ways of disseminating data. These feeds can range from incident points to burn scar areas with different fields, attributes and standards for the data. I've been using a lot of FME and Data Interoperability to try and bring various data sets in to try and map burn scars at a national level as well as to bring in other data such as population data and local government area data so that we can determine impacted people. What I would like to see in the future and I'm sure we will start to see a lot more of in various Australia government agencies is more reliance on live mapping and tools that allow near real time ingestion of data. Some of the technologies I would like to see rolled out and how I think they could benefit the agencies I've listed below: Survey123 / Collector Allowing for near real time updates of incidents and fire areas is of the utmost importance. Having all the data collected utilizing common data formats and ensuring the data is correct and fit for purpose is a capability that these tools can provide. The ability for offline storing of results so that data can be uploaded when back in range of  internet is also beneficial. ArcGIS Pro I feel that there will always be a need for a printed map. Leveraging ArcGIS Pro's layout and automation of map development with python could drastically reduce the amount of time spent by GIS analysts making static maps. Operations Dashboard We had a development version of this running however due to the ever changing formats of the data that we were ingesting and the differing data capture by the states it was difficult to maintain a fully updated and automated Operations Dashboard. Should we start standardizing the data captured and the storage of that data then we could more efficiently stand these up in a crisis. Some of the metrics we were capturing included houses destroyed (manually updated) and Areas burnt (amalgamated data from the states) as well as displaying the burn scars on a map. Workforce for ArcGIS This could potentially be used for more of the cleanup/ recovery stage as away of managing people collecting data on the ground. Having an understanding of where people are and what data they are collecting could be a useful asset. These are just some of the technologies I would recommend! Thanks, Ben ... View more

Royce, Unfortunately there isn't much information out on what is coming in ArcGIS Monitor 10.8. It isn't included in the ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8 Prerelease either so we can't play around with it and see the differences. Hopefully we will see some news out of the Esri Developer Conference in March. Thanks, Ben If this answer has helpful please mark it as helpful.

Hi, Have a look at this config settings. It sets global properties. Specifically have a look at request and the httpsDomains config | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.14  It looks like if you don't specify a httpsDomain then it will try to redirect all requests through https but if you have a httpsDomain configured it will only send links to those https and all http requests will still be sent as http.

Hey Daniel, I haven't had much experience with installing on Linux using the GUI but I've had a lot of success using the command line installer. It is reasonably simple and well documented here: Install ArcGIS Server silently—ArcGIS Server (Linux) Installation Guide | ArcGIS Enterprise  The command you would be running would be something similar to: ~/Downloads/Setup -m console -l yes -a <fullpath to .ecp or .prvc file> -m is the mode (Defaults to gui) -l is to accept the license agreement -a is the path to the license file I'd also be curious to know what version of linux you are running? Thanks Ben ... View more

Hey Charlotte, I'm wondering if your machine is running out of RAM? Have you checked task manager to see if ArcGIS Pro is maxing anything out? Thanks, Ben ... View more

Unfortunately the file server is the single point of failure in the highly available solution. You can shift most of the configuration from the file server to an s3 bucket and dynomodb database and then backup the ArcGIS server directories.  Depending on if your client has Service level agreements if place for their services you could just fully automate the deployment to check if there is an issue and just deploy a completely new stack and redeploy all the data. This is a DevOps mindset and works reasonably well for Arcgis Servers but portal often takes upwards of 40 minutes to deploy even for an automated solution.  Happy to answer any other questions on it as combing DevOps, cloud and Esri is an area of interest of mine.  Ben ...

Hey David, It's been a little while since I have played with Autorecovery but I'm fairly sure that the system failure event is more related to if the AWS machine that is hosting your EC2 instance goes down then your EC2 instance is migrated to another AWS machine. Status Checks for Your Instances - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud  If you are concerned about the EC2 failing out then you could consider putting it into an autoscaling group and automating the build of the file server or using snapshots for a more hands on process in case of disaster recovery.

Hey Ravi, In your title you ask about (Py2.7.16 x32Arc107) or arcgis (Py3.6.2-x64Pro). Python 2.7 will no longer be getting updates, bug fixes or security fixes as of 1 Jan 2020. (Python 2.7 Countdown ) So my first recommendation for someone getting started with python is Python 3. If you open up ArcGIS Pro and Click on Project in the toolbar then Click Python you can see where ArcGIS Pro installs its version of Python.  There is lots of information here Python in ArcGIS Pro—ArcPy Get Started | ArcGIS Desktop  If you run this version of python you will be able to 'import arcpy' and 'from ArcGIS.gis import GIS' (This won't work due to the case sensitivity of python! Use from 'arcgis.gis import GIS' instead!) Good luck with python, its one of my favorite programming languages as it simplifies a lot of things! Thanks Ben ... View more

Hey Sorato, It sure will depending on how you have registered your database and how you have referenced the data in your web services. For information you can see here Register your data with ArcGIS Server using Server Manager—Manage data | ArcGIS Enterprise  Thanks Ben  ... View more

Hey Lauren, Is this the sort of thing you are after?  if(selected(${multiple_collars }, 'no'), 1,0) This would go into the calculation field of collar_num I tried to open your survey but it had some errors and I couldn't get it working in Survey123. Let me know if I'm not on the right track! Thanks, Ben ... View more
