Hey Rob Ward‌, You might want to consider hex binning your data. This will help to keep peoples locations private while still allowing you to have the data quality you need. I would keep the data that is coming in from survey123 private and generate a new layer using hexbins that can be shared with the general public. If you need help with hexbins there are some great resources here: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/data-management/mapping/strategies-to-effectively-display-large-amounts-of-dat…  (Strategy 2 in this document) https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/mapping/40-years-of-piracy/  Thanks, Ben If this answer was helpful please mark it as helpful.

Hey Marilyn Nielson‌, It sounds like there might be an issue with the students Ctrl key on the keyboard. If you hold ctrl and drag an item in the contents panel it will create a copy of the item. If they have another keyboard I would suggest they try that. You can also narrow down if the ctrl key is being pressed in by trying some other keyboard shortcuts in other applications like word (ctrl+c or ctrl+v) and see if those actions trigger just when they press c or v without pressing ctrl. You could also try ctrl+alt+delete without pressing ctrl to see if the button is always active. Thanks, Ben If this answer was helpful please mark it as helpful.

Hey Tharaa Gazzaz‌, If you join the two tables either by field or using a spatial join you will have all the data in one layer. You could then use a field calculator to subtract the schools capacity from the number of school aged kids to see schools that need more capacity or schools with capacity to take on more children.

Hey Marco Amaya‌, Would it be possible that on some of the phones people have turned off location services for the app? Or they deny the web browser access to their location? Thanks, Ben ... View more

Hey Michael Hancock‌, I'm not super familiar with the REST API for ArcGIS Online however are you doing this with a POST or GET? I believe you will need to POST the data. You can also use python which is my preferred way of doing this sort of thing: from arcgis.gis import GIS gis = GIS("portal url", "username", "password") new_user = gis.users.create(username = 'miketest42',                               password = 'test1234',                               firstname = 'Mike',                               lastname = 'Test',                               email = '[email protected]',                               description = 'Demonstrating how to create users using ArcGIS Python API',                               role = 'org_user',                               level = 1,                               provider = 'arcgis') You should just need to update the bits in red. The python API uses the REST API but it has better documentation and lots of examples! Thanks, Ben If this answer was helpful please mark it as helpful.

Hey Brian Beard‌, You can do a search for a street address on the map which might get you more accurate data.

Hey David Horsey‌, So you have already checked the ArcGIS Portal Status Page? View status reports—ArcGIS Online Help | Documentation  The content tab shows most popular and number of hits.
