I know this isn't Survey123, but here is ESRI's Snow Solution: SnowCOP | ArcGIS Solutions for State Government Maybe it might give you some ideas he would like. wish I could help more, interested to hear what others have.

I've successfully gotten a related table to populate lists in a dashboard, are you attempting to do that with multiple ones?

A notebook with samples/ instructions for creating a dashboard that pulls in Google analytics for multiple sites. i.e. select a site, widgets update. Not unlike the example in the article below. https://community.esri.com/people/knoop_umich/blog/2020/06/03/gis-for-everyone-and-how-to-build-your-own-arcgis-dashboard-to-show-it

Is there a way to have a selector populated with fields from a related table, that when one is selected, filters the related locations on a map? I have a Dashboard I'm working on building for our county Vector Control guy. We have tick dragging locations on a map, and a related table of Drag Reports, where he enters the tick species that are captured at a drag. He wants a filter on his dashboard that will so like say I wanted only the drag sites that i caught Dermacentor variabilis, I could selected that specie and only the spots where that species has been found will pop up on the map Seems to me that this should be possible with field mapping but I have not been able to get this. I have it wired in the opposite direction, where selecting a map location filters a list of related reports, but I've not had success coming up with some combination of widgets that allows him to select a related table field to filter the map. Any suggestions? Thanks!

How do you customize the leader if you've converted your labels to annotation?

I'm reviewing ArcPro for moving our fabric from ArcMap 10.4. I inherited the ArcMap setup, and I think how we handle some of the different record types is not going to transfer to ArcPro easily. For example, Parcels that are also Agricultural Security Areas were duplicated from the parcel layer and overlap each other as another subtype within the fabric. Issue is when someone forgets to update the ASA polygon when the parcel line changes. Is there an attribute rule in ArcPro that automatically updates the boundaries of one polygon if another changes? I'm working on rethinking this workflow, but I have a similar issue with our tax records where we have "Secondary Cards" which are extra records attached to an original tax record (a limitation of our CAMA software means that when they run out of room on a record, they have to create a new one in the software and continue entering data). The only way we could connect the Tax database to the GIS fabric was to join based on the Tax Record name. The Secondary cards must have the same boundary as the original tax record, but parcel techs routinely forget to update the Secondary card when they update the original parcel in the fabric. I'm open to other suggestions to update our workflows as I was never happy with how this was set up to begin with when I was the parcel editor. Now that I am the manager, I'd like to fix these issues when we move to Pro. I can also do Python so this option is good too. Is it possible to change this workflow to something like if someone changes an attribute on a parcel in the Pro fabric (i.e. Does parcel have a secondary card? If Yes, duplicate parcel into another fabric type and append /02 (user entered number) onto original Parcel ID, and if parcel ever changes, then so does other polygon) Sorry if this is super confusing, welcome to our workflows! My idea for the ASAs is to do something similar, but since that data is inputed elsewhere, to set up a portal application so that department can update the ASAs as needed and attribute rules take care of the rest.

I'd like the option to either switch my header to a sidebar navigation panel option. This website has both, although I think I like the option to have either one, not both. https://franklincountypa.gov/

I like the spacer option and I don't even know how it would work with the height adjustment, but sometimes it'd be nice to have the option to add a horizontal line in that spacer card in ArcGIS Hub Or maybe just have a horizontal line layout component.

I was just wishing for an easier way to do something similar with key numbering when labeling. I had a site plan of about two dozen cabins and mobile homes, and wished I could easily create a key numbering with corresponding attributes like tax ID, property type, etc. I ended up inserting a table view and the ObjectID and labeling the features with it.

I think you need to show them the benefit. Get them excited about it! For my field personnel, I set up everything under a project for Vector Control. VC goes out in the field and collects data. The Hub provides them with access to two desktop editing apps for when they are at their desks. It also provides multiple dashboards that are updated in near real time with their collection efforts. I also created a public-facing Hub site (FCPC), which also pulls from the their data and a citizen reporting mosquito activity app. This was done to show more transparency to the public, but it makes them happy because they don't have to do anything to populate the dashboards and websites! The hub page with their editing apps is actually all on the same Hub as the public page, but it is hidden through control with group permissions in ArcGIS Online. I'm about to start on another project for our bridge crew, and they are used to using paper for inspections. Survey123 is going to change that! Just pointing out that they won't have to worry about wind stealing their papers, or spending as much time in the sun has peaked their interest. It almost sounds like they are overwhelmed with the possibilities and don't know where to go next. I'd guide them with baby steps to an achievable goal that has a high ROI, but is relatively simple to implement. That usually paves the way to more complicated projects.

Thanks Joe! My comment is filtered through the lens of being a Pennsylvania County GIS Director and my experience interacting with the 22 municipalities in our county. In our area, most are local and down-to-earth; practicality generally ends up being the best approach. Most of my municipalities want to know how we can save them time and/or money. They are generally frustrated with a lack of resources for meeting their reporting needs to the state. If you spin it that it will make their lives easier, they might listen more closely. For example, I have several applications and things that the municipalities use, but the most popular is the similiplist one we have - an oblique imagery viewer with overlays of county parcels, road names, address points, and subdivision lots on it, because it is a good deal of information in one place. As for what is most effective, Hubs, dashboards, and ArcGIS Online require someone to have in-depth knowledge of ESRI's cloud platform. I'd start off simple, say with a single-app or two, and build from there. For my field personnel, I created a hub page with all the apps and dashboards they needed in one place, so they didn't have to access ArcGIS Online. They don't understand it and don't want to spend time figuring it out, so the Hub provides a "one-stop shop," so to speak.

I would first ask yourself about your audience. Where we live, municipality supervisors generally don't have much technical background (the municipality I live in doesn't even have a computer, only the secretary has one at her house). They don't care about fancy tech unless you can explain in simple terms how it can make their lives easier, save them money, or help with any reporting requirements they may have to follow. Either they may not know about the extra benefits, or it would require someone training them on how to do it. Try to figure out their motivations. They may very well know about it and decided they didn't want to use it. Maybe try to figure out what their issues with web apps are before trying to get them to use them. It'll make the "sell" easier if you have solutions to their questions.

The best way I was able to fudge it was to insert blank text cards on either side of my gallery card. It forces the resize. I didn't like it, and I actually had better luck creating each of my applications as it's own card. I also chose this option because the gallery cards don't take self-hosted apps or custom URLs into account, and it was screwing up my Google Analytics, so I found that manually creating a card gave me the best sizing and fit my needs overall.
