Hi @DEI, Try this for special characters: \HY >a!aaaaaaaaaaaa for a space between text or \HY->a!aaaaaaaaaaaa to add a '-', etc. And so on for each button. Not sure how many characters (a) you need, but \ will escape the special characters. This will also make the first character upper case (>a!). When the text input pops up on button push, just start typing. You don't need to move the cursor to the end of the string. Cheers, Jamie.

Hi Scott, Try this: if(${site_typ}!='T',.=0,.>0) If T can also be 0 you can use if(${site_typ}!='T',.=0,.>=0) You could also put in a calculation to pre-populate nonT responses. Cheers, Jamie.

Hi All, Symbols in ArcGIS Online are... lacking. I have just gone through a workflow to bring in custom symbols to Map Viewer Beta from ArcGIS Pro (adding custom symbols to Map Viewer Classic does not seem to be a solution) and its working really well. I'm pretty happy with the result. The problem now is that I can't use WAB as the symbols don't work in Map Viewer Classic. This brings me to Experience Builder. I would like to be using Experience Builder though none of the widgets I need are available. Specifically the Emergency Response Guide and Situation Awareness widgets. Is there a timeline / roadmap for when these widgets will become available? Or even a priority list of widgets being migrated? At the moment I'm less interested in new functionality at the cost of existing functionality (in WAB) and more interested in a single environment that brings current functionality together. Thanks, Jamie.

Hi All, When using Custom Symbols in ArcGIS Online (default map viewer), how do you remove custom symbols from the 'Custom Images' drop-down list? Thanks. Jamie.

‎02-07-2021

May be an old topic but still relevant as custom symbols hasn't seemed to improved at all for several years. I don't believe sharing to your Org (alone) will work for custom image files uploaded to AGOL. I believe they have to be shared to the Public to generate a useable URL. If anyone has information otherwise, I'd love to hear it!

Hi All, Does anyone have a working example of using the q:queryparameter URL parameter to launch Survey123 (Windows or iOS/Android) [edit] from a pop-up and open an existing survey for editing? So far my attempts get me as far as the Inbox, but I cannot load the form with a specific record to edit. I’m assuming that this parameter can be used this way! The q:queryparameter "Queries the feature layer for an existing record. It can be used to retrieve content that is not on the device." So I should be able to have nothing preloaded in the Inbox. The example in Integrate with other apps is q:objectIds=12. I assume this could be q:objectId={objectID} (not sure if 'objectIds' is a typo in the web page?) or even better q:globalID={globalID}. This is what I have so far and it doesn't work. I have tried a few variations around these with no success (I did also try ObjectID). arcgis-survey123://?itemID=<form ID>&q:globalId={globalID}&action=edit https://survey123.arcgis.app/?itemID=<form ID>&q:globalId={globalID}&action=edit I had no issue with creating the URL to open a specific survey in edit mode in the web. The app version is just not working for me. If anyone could provide a working example or point out what I am doing wrong I would very much appreciate it. Thanks, Jamie.

@patrickb there is a lot of support for native editing in Dashboards, and this is coming from the user community. Talking to others at Esri over the years, the spiel has consistently been Dashboards aren't for editing - though I have no idea why this firm position exists, especially when editing is such a popular request with the users. Allowing editing as an option wouldn't require editing as the only option - the Dashboard creator should be able to toggle editing for each editable feature, similar to WAB. Not sure how this wouldn't be a good fit. Dashboards are great for simple visualization and filtering of data and editing options would only enhance the product. Embedded content as you have correctly pointed out is a workaround, and as expected, embedded content always lags when loading compared to all other elements in a Dashboard. I also thought 'Operations' was dropped from the name in response to the evolution of use of Dashboards - becoming much more than just an operational view. Hopefully functionality will also continue to evolve. Thanks.

If you are using Survey123 to capture the data, you could always extract the month in the survey itself rather than at the report end. In Survey123 Connect this would be a calculation like this: format-date(${your_date_field},'%b'). Then in the report you could just reference this field. I don't use the web builder, so not sure how this looks in that environment. These could be set to hidden fields that are only used for the report so they don't change the look of your survey. Day: format-date(${your_date_field},'%d') Month (as txt): format-date(${your_date_field},'%b') Month (as a no.): format-date(${your_date_field},'%n') or format-date(${your_date_field},'%m') Year: format-date(${your_date_field},'%Y')

Hi, It would be good if there was some sort of visual flag on surveys in Survey123 Connect that showed if a survey had been published or not, and also a filter option to only show published or unpublished surveys. Just to help with maintenance. Thanks.

I have come up with a workaround for this issue using the pulldata("@property", 'mode') function. From the Survey123 documentation (Formulas), "This has three possible values, returning new if the user is producing a new survey response (including one copied from an existing survey), returning edit if the user is editing an existing response, and returning view if the user is viewing an existing response in read-only mode." Using this function, you can set the photo question/s to 'required' and use the value returned from pulldata("@property", 'mode') for the question relevance (see image below). A new survey will return 'new', so using 'new' as the relevant response will show a required photo question for a new survey, and will not show the photo question when the survey is opened via the Inbox, therefore the required condition will not stop you from submitting a survey. You can set the question with the pulldata function to 'null' so you don't store it in your dataset. All-in-all not a difficult workaround to implement, and you can keep the required setting for new surveys.

This is exactly why I suggested an Inbox configuration of a form. I would like the ability to configure how the survey form looks when opened via the Inbox versus opened as a new survey form. I know I could create a new survey using the existing hosted feature, though users then need to remember that they have to go to a different survey for for some activity, which presents its own challenges! Something like an additional tab in the Survey123 connect xlsx spreadsheet that can be populated if the Inbox setting are different to the new survey settings? Three examples: 1) I would like some fields to be read-only for editing workflows. 2) For Image questions that are required in the initial survey, make these not required via the Inbox. 3) In a new survey, I often use Calculations to take user input, and write it out to other hidden fields. Idea below: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-ideas/configure-an-inbox-form-view-survey123-connect/idi-p/934596

Hi All, I would like the ability to configure how the survey form looks when opened via the Inbox versus opened as a new survey form. I know I could create a new survey using the existing hosted feature, though users then need to remember that they have to go to a different survey for for some activity, which presents its own challenges! Something like an additional tab in the Survey123 connect xlsx spreadsheet that can be populated if the Inbox setting are different to the new survey settings? Launching a survey from Explorer / Collector / Field Maps / QuickCapture with the URL parameters is a good option if a second survey form is created specifically for the Inbox, just thought I'd get this idea out in the event that it was fairly easily achievable. Will reduce the number of surveys to manage. Three examples: 1) I would like some fields to be read-only for editing workflows. 2) For Image questions that are required in the initial survey, make these not required via the Inbox. See also https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-ideas/survey123-image-question-disable-required-in-inbox/idi-p/930727 3) In a new survey, I often use Calculations to take user input, and write it out to other hidden fields. For example, Select_One / Select_Multiple questions where I need an 'other' option. Instead of splitting my question across two attributes for 'or_other' (which creates the attribute 'Specify other.'), I use a second question in the survey form to capture any value not in my choice list, with the requirement that one of these fields must contain a value to be valid. I then us an if statement or concatenate to populate the response that is actually written to the hosted feature. In the below image, the first two questions are set as null, and the response that is written to the hosted feature is hidden. The problem I have with this approach is that when you open the record through the Inbox, the questions on the form are empty (as they are set to 'null') - and require values to submit! So instead of being required to include all these additional attributes in my hosted feature just to use the Inbox, I would like to be able to configure an Inbox view of the form which shows the final result field ('Record' in this example) rather than the initial questions ('Question1' and 'Question2') that aren't actually captured! Thanks, Jamie.

As mentioned in my update, there were two 'map areas' that are not visible at all in ArcGIS Online. I opened ArcGIS Online Assistant (ArcGIS Online Assistant), as I had run out of other things to try, and could see these items. Clicking on each item opened the Overview tab, and I deleted them on the Settings tab. Once this was done, I could delete the ID. My tip of the day: If you can't delete an ID and you get the 'Unable to delete member: <ID Name>. Member must not own items or groups.' error message, open ArcGIS Online Assistant and have a look!

Hi All, I am trying to delete a user ID from ArcGIS Online, but I keep getting the 'Unable to delete member: <ID Name>. Member must not own items or groups.' error message. I have either deleted or transferred all Content and Groups - nothing shows up when I view Content or Groups for this ID. This ID is a Creator type and not an Admin. And no assigned licenses. Does anyone know of a solution to this issue? Or is there something else I need to look at? Is there a force delete option? Haven't had any issues deleting other ID's. I'm guessing something is hung-up somewhere?? This is what you see when logged in to this ID: UPDATE: I though I would take a look with ArcGIS Online Assistant, and I see two map areas. These don't appear when in ArcGIS Online. Thanks, Jamie.

Hi Colin, I'm not aware of what the issue was, or if there was a solution to the issue. In the end I just changed the name to something that worked as I had deadlines to meet. Jamie.
