I often find myself guessing where I have menu widget edges appearing on different pages of my experience.  When I want an experience to flow, I sometimes want continuity throughout my pages, like having the same menu appear in the same place on every page.   It would be nice if I had the option of adding a guide or ruler to the design so I can see where my widget boundaries are. The widgets don't snap to each others boundaries like I think they should, so having a guide where I could set marks (just like on the layout page in ArcMap / Pro), something like this for Experience Builder would be ideal.  Honestly, isn't a layout view exactly what we're creating? ...

I have no configurable apps.  It happened after the 12/8 update, and I've been waiting for them to come back.  I thought maybe they had been all removed and moved to the new Solutions app, but I still see people using them.   When I hit "Create" under the Content menu in AGOL - the option for Configurable Apps is missing. When I click on a map, there is an option to create a Configurable App, but there are no apps in the gallery. Image of what I see attached. I need a few different templates for a project and I cannot access anything. ... View more

Working on a script to generate a series of property record card PDFs from a map series using multiprocessing.  Learned about multiprocessing in an Advanced Python class and thought it could be used to help with this project.  Has to be run nightly on approx. 3,300 parcels, but is taking 12+ hours due to slowing drastically as it runs.  Memory also increases, but have not been able to locate memory leak (newer to Python) and Spyder locking up.  Written using PyScripter and Python 3.6.12 .  Ideally, would be able to be run once a year to generate two PDFs for each of 75,000 parcels. Developing on a laptop with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.70 GHz processor and  32 GB RAM / 8 cpu. Below is the function.  It also has to look for building sketches and attach them to the resulting card if they exist. The Parcel identifier is fed into the map series, generates 3 pages, and then looks for building sketches.   Looking for any guidance, function and main script attached as zip file.   Here is the function:   import os, sys import arcpy arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True def worker(mxdPath, outFolder, name): """ This is the function that gets called and does the work of exporting the DDP for the UPI specified. Note that this function does not try to write to arcpy.AddMessage() as nothing is ever displayed. If the cexport succeeds then it returns TRUE else FALSE. """ try: mxdFile = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(mxdPath) cleanName = name.replace("/", "_") finalPDF = os.path.join(outFolder, cleanName + ".pdf") l = mxdFile.listLayouts("Page_1")[0] if not l.mapSeries is None: ms = l.mapSeries if ms.enabled: ms.currentPageNumber = ms.getPageNumberFromName(name) file1 = os.path.join(outFolder, cleanName) ms.exportToPDF(file1, "CURRENT", resolution=300) ms.refresh() pdfDoc = arcpy.mp.PDFDocumentOpen(finalPDF) l = mxdFile.listLayouts("Page_2")[0] if not l.mapSeries is None: ms = l.mapSeries if ms.enabled: ms.currentPageNumber = ms.getPageNumberFromName(name) pageTwo = cleanName + "t2" file2 = os.path.join(outFolder, pageTwo + ".pdf") ms.exportToPDF(file2, "CURRENT", resolution=300) pdfDoc.appendPages(file2) os.remove(file2) #ms.refresh() try: resSketch = ms.pageRow.SKETCH if os.path.exists(resSketch): l = mxdFile.listLayouts("Page_3")[0] if not l.mapSeries is None: ms = l.mapSeries if ms.enabled: ms.currentPageNumber = ms.getPageNumberFromName(name) pageThree = cleanName + "t3" file3 = os.path.join(outFolder, pageThree + ".pdf") ms.exportToPDF(file3, "CURRENT", resolution=300) pdfDoc.appendPages(file3) os.remove(file3) del file3, resSketch except: pass try: #Checks for existence of Sketch PDF & appends it to new PDF commSketch = ms.pageRow.COMMERCIAL_SKETCH pdfDoc.appendPages(commSketch) except: pass pdfDoc.saveAndClose() del pdfDoc, file1, file2, mxdPath, resSketch del mxdFile return True except arcpy.ExecuteError: # Geoprocessor threw an error arcpy.AddError(arcpy.GetMessages(2)) print("Execute Error:", arcpy.ExecuteError) except Exception as e: tb = sys.exc_info()[2] print("Failed at Line %i \n" % tb.tb_lineno) print("Error: {} \n".format(e)) return False     ...
