I have a label service published to ArcGIS server that I consume in a number of web applications.  I had recently created a new identical service to replace the old one.  I have checked and rechecked, and as far as I can tell, both are identical.  When I add the new service into any web application, the labels appear blocky, and have white space around the edges.  They do NOT have a halo around them, but it almost appears like they have a pixelated one.  It makes them very hard to read. Picture attached.  I've also attached a screenshot of the original service for comparison.   Anyone know why it would appear blocky and how to fix it?  I republished the service and recreated the cache, and still have the same issue. UPDATE: After republishing my layers service 4 times, the last time removed the blocky look around the letters and returned to normal.  I do not know what caused this or how it was fixed.   ...

I have a question regarding the Query Widget on ArcGIS Online.  I have two different parcel mapper apps that both have a query window.  The Queries disappeared yesterday from the websites, and whenever I try to access them in the WebApp Builder, they widget is frozen and will not let me do anything except close the widget window.  The Query Widget has traditionally been incredibly slow, but now I cannot access it at all, and my users are screaming bloody murder. I have 4 queries in my subscription parcel viewer, and 6 in my free viewer, and they took a while to build, so I really, REALLY, don't want to loose them. Any ideas? ... View more

Just to preface this, please bear with me as my supervisor took a new job and left me with a online subscription parcel website that is built as a WebApp on AGOL. He built it and rolled it out without testing to the public at the beginning of the year, and now I am trying to get updates to make it more user friendly.  IT is meant to replace our old system that the public used to access our tax and assessment data. I am still learning the ins and outs as he didn't leave documentation or involve anyone else in design and development.   My issue is that the popups are not displaying certain fields when someone searches for a particular parcel in the search box.  In this particular instance, the Delinquent Tax fields.  I have 8 fields that are combined using an expression on the popup configuration.  It pulls the data from CAMA (our assessment program) and it is joined to our parcels.   It looks should like this: DELINQUENT TAXES        2017: $####                                            2016: $####                                            2015: $#### DELINQUENT TAXES:    TOTAL: $#### The years and the amounts are actually automatically calculated and pulled from SQL. If a parcel doesn't have delinquent taxes, it should still show the years, as below: DELINQUENT TAXES        2017: $                                            2016: $                                            2015: $ DELINQUENT TAXES:    TOTAL: $ When someone searches by the unique parcel ID, the fields come up as blank.  It looks like this: DELINQUENT TAXES                : $                                                     : $                                                     : $ DELINQUENT TAXES:    TOTAL: $ If someone clicks on the parcel, the fields are populated correctly, and it looks like the first example. Why would the popups be different based on the way a parcel is located?  If the Tax Collectors and assessors who use this site search by a parcel, they are going to believe there are no delinquent taxes, and that could cause huge issues. We've tested this, and it appears to be doing the same thing when we search / click on other parcels. Any suggestions? Update: This seems to related to the custom expressions in the popup configuration that I am using to displaying this data.  If I remove them, it appears to be populating when searching, it just looks horrible. In testing this, it does this with any combination of these custom expressions.  I've double checked it's doing them as a number instead of a string, and I still had the same result.  I do have two other custom expressions that involve other fields, and they seem to be populating fine. Screenshot attached.  This is what I see when I open the popup config ... View more

The ability to choose which "conflict" to accept as the true change (or none) is excellent, but there is no such ability to do so when there is no conflict - which is troublesome when an error is found by the DBA before a rec & post.  For instance, when you get a batch of changes to post from an editor, you must either post ALL changes or post NO changes. This is fine if all the changes are 100% correct, but unfortunately that is not always the case. It would be ideal to be able to select which changes to accept and post (highlight those you wish to post then click post) or select which you want to not post. That way the entire batch does not have to be 100% correct before a post, and you can send those which require reworked back to the editor but still get a majority of the updates pushed ASAP and not have to wait for the 5 out of 150 that are incorrect to be corrected first.  ...
