Thanks for the response Jeffrey. I was actually (slightly randomly) looking at the scale in Arcade as a way of displaying the map scale to the user - I thought I could have a very large transparent polygon that covered my map extent and was labelled with the scale value. This is because the scalebar widget in Web App Builder doesn't have an option to show the scale as text, which is something that our Portal users tell us that they want to see. I thought the Arcade option might be quicker than trying to write a custom widget but it doesn't look like it is an option in this case. However I could also potentially see a scenario where someone might want to adjust the label string at smaller scales e.g. abbreviate Street to St or maybe choose not to show a particular label if it was over a certain number of characters.

I'd like to be able to include the current map scale in the labels for a feature in Portal 10.5.1. The documentation on this page suggests that only the feature to be labelled is available as a global variable in Arcade expression https://developers.arcgis.com/arcade/guide/profiles/#labelling However within the playground section on the same site the current map scale is available under the labelling profile If I try to use the map scale global in an Arcade label expression on a layer in a Portal 10.5.1 web map I get an error about the view identifier not being found. I'm guessing that the reason it works in the playground is that the page is built with the JS API and that has a slightly different implementation of Arcade than Portal 10.5.1 perhaps? My question is will the map scale global be available in later versions of Portal?

Thanks for the speedy reply Joel. That makes a bit more sense to me now. There are actually about four or five geocoders that it would be useful to use in Explorer so it would be good to be able to allow more than just the one. I guess we could build a composite locator which wraps up all the others but I think for now we can make it work with a combination of feature search and the top geocoder.

From what I can tell the only options for searching in Explorer are to use the pre-configured ESRI world geocoder or set up searching on layers in the web map. Are there any plans to enable us to bring in geocoder services that are configured in our Portal/ArcGIS Enterprise?

This may or may not be relevant but it looks from the connection that you're using in your screenshot that you're publishing a traditional map service with feature access enabled directly to the ArcGIS Server site behind Portal. In Tiffany's screenshot she is publishing a hosted feature layer (indicated by the My Hosted Services string in the connection) directly to the Portal. The workflow for doing this is described here and is slightly different from the way you are doing it as it involved signing in to Portal within ArcMap - it took me a while to get my head around this. http://server.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/use/publish-features.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_94021BE7D875474681DAD20D05A90AF6 I'm not saying this will necessarily fix your issue with Collector but it might explain why you're not seeing the editing settings in the Portal content item for that service. I think that there are additional criteria that need to be met for your feature service in order to be able to use in Collector. Hope that helps a bit Gareth

I seem to be able to tap on points in the iOS version without any problems. Same web map on an Android device and I need about 50 attempts to get the precise location of the point - very frustrating! Seems ok on lines in Android though.

We're about to launch an internal Portal site with a couple of main apps that we want to direct initial users towards. We're keeping what they can do on the site down to a bare minimum and will roll out more of the Portal functionality over time. One behaviour that we've just noticed is when searching for content with a phrase such as "esri" - which returns 645 items - see attached screenshot. It looks as if the search is returning a lot of internal items such as regional variations for each of the different Story Map templates. When you click on the content owner these appear to be some sort of internal ghost accounts rather than Portal members. I know the likelihood of users searching on something like esri is probably quite low but we'd prefer it if these items didn't get returned at all in any searches and instead only content that we'd approved via the standard sharing mechanisms were shown. There is an option to exclude some system users from the results of searches in the advanced Portal options config file at <Portal for ArcGIS installation directory>\customizations\<version number>\webapps\arcgis#home\js\esri\arcgisonline\config.js http://server.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/administer/windows/configure-a-disconnected-deployment.htm However it only seems to be effective with the five system accounts listed below. systemUsers: ["esri_nav","system_publisher", "esri_livingatlas", "esri_boundaries", "esri_demographics"], // on-premise Portal list of system users to filter out of user searches If we try adding one of the regional Story Map owner accounts such as esri_et and then restart the Portal it doesn't make any difference and their content still appears. I suspect that it is something to with the fact that if we list all Portal users via the ArcGIS API for Python we only see those five system accounts and not the regional ones. If I try to change the sharing on one of the items so that they aren't visible to general users then I only get the option to share with groups that I own (even as an admin) rather than the Everyone and Portal options that you get with "normal" Portal content items. Is there another way to get around this such as deleting the regional templates from the Portal apps directory? Regards Gareth

I've successfully used the Python API to add a non-secure map service from a non-federated ArcGIS Server site (10.2.2) to a Portal (10.5.1). However if I turn security on for the map service then there doesn't seem to be an option in the API reference that allows me to specify credentials. It will still go ahead and add the service as a Portal content item but then when you try to load the layer into the Portal map viewer it prompts for the credentials (strangely the layers from the service are already loaded and drawn in the background before anything is entered in the credentials box). Is there a way via the API to save the security credentials for the service within the content item in the same way that you can if you add the same service in manually? Thanks Gareth

Thanks Atma. I did see that page during my initial research but disregarded it because it didn't specifically mention adding a content item from a loosely coupled ArcGIS Server via URL. With the benefit of hindsight I can see that the thumbnail example would have been useful despite it relating to a CSV file in that case. Thanks for all your speedy replies on the matter, very helpful.

Thanks Atma. I think your second link to the API reference is probably the same as I put at the bottom of my original question. My comment about not having a useful worked example on that page is I think still valid but thankfully the managing your content example has useful guidance on how to specify a path on my local PC for the thumbnail.

I have a map service (ArcGIS Server 10.2.2) containing a number of layers, each of which I want to add to my Portal (10.5) via the Python API. The server is not federated with the Portal. If I manually add the URL for the individual layer then it successfully creates a content item and automatically creates a thumbnail for me showing a snapshot of the data. However if I use the Python API to add the same URL into a different content item then a thumbnail is not generated. When I go to the content item in Portal it shows an error at the top of the page - see image below: This disappears if I click anywhere near it but returns again if I refresh the page. If I manually edit the thumbnail and upload an image from my PC then I don't see the error again. So I have two questions: 1. Is it possible for a thumbnail to be automatically generated for me when I create an item via the Python API? 2. If it can't be generated automatically then how can I specify an image file from my PC to be uploaded instead? Or can the image only be referenced by a URL? For info a sample of my code is below. layer_properties={ 'title':'Test thumb', 'description':Test description.', 'snippet':Test summary.', 'tags':test', 'type':'Feature Service', 'url':'https://myserver/mywebadaptor/rest/services/environmental/designations/MapServer/7' } myLayer = gis.content.add(item_properties=layer_properties) myLayer I've looked at the API reference here but there is no example for me to follow http://esri.github.io/arcgis-python-api/apidoc/html/arcgis.gis.html#contentmanager Thanks Gareth

Just as a quick addition to my previous reply. The related records option only seems to be available on about half of the different layouts in WebAppBuilder. Will be interesting to see if this functionality is a bit more complete in Portal 10.5.1.

Just one quick follow up. I assume it's necessary to register the UNC path for both server A and B with the site and in both cases make sure that the server path is set as the local D drive? That way it shouldn't matter if a publisher decides to put the data from either A or B into their mxd as the server will replace both references at the point of publishing. The alternative would be to make sure that a publisher only ever uses data from one server in their mxd?
