Hi, We have a requirement to survey pre-defined sites a certain number of times in a week. I have an Operations Dashboard trying to show compliance, however, if a site is not surveyed, there is no data, so it doesn't appear on the serial chart displaying record count per site (filter to current week) in the Dashboard. What i would like to do is define the categories so every site displays - either through the hosted feature that contains all the sites (multiple data sources option), or by adding all the sites with the 'override' option. This way, if an inspection has not been carried out, I will see a gap in the chart and immediately know which site i need to send someone out to inspect. Mock-up below as an example. I don't see an option to add an additional data source and when i added a site using 'Override' (e.g. by adding site 2a in this case) it still doesn't appear on the chart - presumably because there is no value... Or I'm doing it wrong! Is this currently possible? Or does anyone have any better suggestions? I also use indicators, but again, they can be misleading. For example, if a site is visited one extra time, and another site is visited one less time, we could appear to have 100% compliance without actually being 100% compliant. At least with the Serial Chart I can see if a site has been visited more times than required. Thanks, Jamie

Thanks for the comments Douglas Cochran‌. It's done! https://community.esri.com/ideas/17807-change-default-group-view-from-overview-to-content

‎01-01-2020

When opening a Group in ArcGIS Online, the 'Overview' is the default view/tab. It would be much better for the default to be the 'Content' view/tab. I find Overview to be the least helpful view of a Group. We should have the option to change these settings, either at the User, Group, or Organisation level. It would also be good to be able to change the 'Content' default setting to be 'Table' rather than 'List'. List only allows 3 or 4 features to be visible in my field of view... Even 'Grid' is better than List... Thanks, Jamie.

Hi Brett, Thanks for the explanation. I'll submit this then. I'm using Survey123 Connect v3.7.60 at the moment and have no issues with %W in a calculation, but I started using the week calculation at an earlier version - I can't recall which version (early 2018) - before %W was added to the validator. You would have to substitute it with something like %M to save the spreadsheet, then change the %M to %W in the XML file before publishing! Refer to this response by James Tedrick > https://community.esri.com/thread/208928-storing-week-number-in-survey123. Attached is a spreadsheet with the week, quarter, etc. calculations. Nothing too fancy with the Quarter - just an if statement based on the month value. Cheers, Jamie.

Hi All, On the 27th of December everything was working fine and today (30th) our field crews are all getting an error - send error string or binary data would be truncated - on submission. There have been no changes to the survey. Obviously the error referrers to a response not fitting a field length. Survey123 version 3.7.57. Everything seems to look fine, and I am not aware of any Esri changes between the 27th and the 30th. Is there an easy way to identify the issue in the xlsx form? It would be good to be able to submit a record and ignore the error, letting the data truncate, so I could see the output... Really just wondering if there have been any changes recently that may cause a form to fail since the 27th, and the easiest way to identify the issue within the form. ___________________________________________ UPDATE: I found where the form was getting stuck - still have no idea why this calculation was working on the 27th and not working on the 30th... I ended up adding a Note field to every Hidden field to see exactly what was being written out. I was extracting the Week value from the Date field using this calculation: format-date(${date},'%W') I also extract the Month, Quarter, and Year - they are all still working fine. Just Week is no longer working as of today. We have been using this for ages with no issue. It seems that the 30th and 31st of December just don't work. Brett Stokes can the team have a quick look at this behavior (30th & 31st of Dec)? Also seems to be an issue with the 'week-number' appearance setting. Thanks. ____________________________________________ Thanks, Jamie.

Hi, When opening a Group in ArcGIS Online, the 'Overview' is the default view/tab. Is there a way to change this to the 'Content' view/tab? I find Overview to be the least helpful view of a Group. I would also like the 'Content' default setting to be 'Table' rather than 'List'. List only allows 3 or 4 features to be visible in my field of view... 'Grid' is better than 'List.'. Hopefully there are settings to change these? Even at the Organization level? Thanks, Jamie.

Hi Aaron, That would be great. I have a custom role that has several Admin privileges, mainly to do with managing members and data/content. We have Org sites that are global and regional, involving may different parts of the business. Even if we would allow more access to Admin roles, it wouldn't be practical to have so many Admins per Org to do what should be standard workflows. In my opinion there are too many useful privileges tied up in the default Admin role. The concept of a 'Site' Admin (not a Viewer or Creator role) for managing licensing, credits, subscriptions, etc. and a 'Content' Admin for managing members, data, etc. would make more sense. For small companies this may not be an issue, though I expect all larger companies share these frustrations. I would be more than happy to chat further in more detail. Thanks. Jamie.

Thanks for the link Kylie Donia‌. In summary, to enable and manage tracking is the privilege to manage utility service settings and to create and share track views is the default Admin role. Anything that requires the default Admin role is VERY frustrating. It would be good for Esri to create a role that would replace the requirement of the default Admin role in these cases. I'm sure I don't work for the only company that has that role tightly locked down. I don't need to manage credits or marketplace subscriptions, but managing Tracker would have been useful. I have some chance of getting a custom role created and zero chance of getting an Admin role. My excitement over Tracker for ArcGIS Online has been brief. Its over now.

Hi Jeff Shaner‌, Good news! Are you able to tell me which Privilege/s is required to enable location tracking for the Organisation? Also the Privilege required to to view the tracks of others and to use the Track Viewer web app? I assume it is the same..? I would like to know if this Privilege can be added to a custom role rather that require the default Administrator role. Thanks. Jamie.

Hi Muhammad Yasir‌, I recently experienced the same behaviour with Actions.I saved my Dashboard and refreshed the webpage and went back in and was able to add more actions. Try this and see if it works for you with Filters. Thanks. Jamie.

Perfect! Thanks for that.

I was looking at this blog by David Nyenhuis‌ (https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/ops-dashboard/decision-support/visualizing-data-effectively-on-dashboards/) and was after more information on how to create an Indicator like the example below. Here is the Operations Dashboard: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/73f32a5e74e748599c38124ba4337fbe. Is it just a case of how you configure the Bottom Text? I haven't seen any border setting for an Indicator... Thanks!

I would like to see this also. Positive Change, Negative Change, No Change. It would also be good to set a tolerance on the No Change option. For example, if a value is within a tolerance (say +/- 5) it is shown as 'No Change'. To have Increase or No Change lumped together can be very misleading! Any information about this functionality? Derek Law‌ David Nyenhuis‌ ? Thanks.

I have an Indicator that shows the current (latest) value. I would also like to show the minimum and maximum values over a year (data is filtered to current year). I can do the max or the min, anyone have advise on how to show both? Or examples on how people have customized the Indicator Options? I can't seem to make any customizations work. The Esri Indicator help document is pretty light... Example below I made in PowerPoint: Thanks.

Katie Godding You can also Create a View Layer of the hosted feature and configure the pop-up for this differently if you don't want to change the pop-up in your map. Then point to this View for your Operations Dashboard Details. This way the pop-up in the map and the Details can be configured separately but still point to the same source. Just add the View to your map, configure the pop-up, and turn it off in the map. This way you can select it in the Details settings, but not have it pop-up in the map.
