Joshua Bixby‌, thanks for adding your insight! I love when I actually learn something myself when helping others with their questions, it's the best part of Geonet    ... View more

Your web app *should* honor the settings in your web map that it's based on. Can you confirm that you've saved the attribute configurations for all layers in the web map? I don't think there's any way to change pop-up configurations within WAB, so the issue must be traced back to the web map. ... View more

Jill Plescher‌, do you have an example of the HTML you are trying to change?  Also, apologies if I'm stating the obvious as I don't know how much experience you have, but have you utilized the "inspect" option in your browser to be able to view the page's HTML? It's super useful for learning how web pages are structured, and you can even use it to for reference when designing your own pages. I've found it very helpful! ... View more

As far as I know, the "Hub" equivalent for Portal is Enterprise Sites. You can't access the HTML/CSS for all of the "cookie cutter/drag and drop" elements in the layout options, but if you just use a text element, it's pretty much anything goes as far as customizing because you can just put your HTML in the text element. That's what I did for a site I designed in order to get the layout I wanted for certain sections.  ... View more

I completely agree with Joe Borgione about keeping it simple for this first assignment. Just a personal opinion, as a novice Pythonista myself, if you get too ambitious about all the potential you can unlock with Python scripts when you're first starting out, it can be easy to get discouraged once you really get into the weeds! That's not to say that you shouldn't pursue learning more about this topic, it's incredibly rewarding and well worth the time investment if you continue your work in GIS. But...just take it one step at a time Ok, enough of my personal opinions. Here's something that actually might be helpful regarding your symbology question. I would think that you should be able to use a Style File to help you with that.

Glad it helped! For reference, here is a page on escape characters in Python:  Python Escape Characters  I'm not sure if this technically would qualify as a bug (not accepting raw strings in field calculator), but if you do get more relevant information from Esri regarding this, it would be awesome if you'd post back here with an update in case someone references this post in the future. Cheers, Katherine ... View more

In that case, the simplest place to start might be taking one of your assignments for the class that you had to do manually, and doing the same workflow via a script.  ... View more

I'm not sure, can you use raw strings in field calculator? That might help.  Python Raw String - JournalDev  Does this work for you?  r"\\DPWTECHENG\Plat\" + !plat_book! + "_" + !plat_page! + ".tif"‍ ... View more

In the imagery tab, there should be an option to georeference: ... View more

I'm assuming this is for a school project....it would help to know a bit more about the project requirements so we know what scope the script should cover. A few things that come to mind as very important for someone just learning how to make script tools in ArcGIS is understanding how to receive user input for script variables with GetParameterAsText. A simple place to start would be thinking of a repetitive workflow that involves many steps that you can combine in one script. One example that comes to mind for something I might run into in my work is this - for every single county in a state, you need to clip the states stream data just for that county.  Hope that helps with the brainstorming, at least! ...

Just based on the updates that Esri puts out, I haven't heard anything about this planned on being implemented. Again, I recommend either commenting on that idea I linked to and up-voting it, or starting a new idea to describe exactly what you are looking/hoping for. Esri really does look at those, so it's possible it could make a difference. (I actually got a call once from an Esri rep to follow up on a comment I made on an idea, because they were gathering user feedback to aid in their product plan) ... View more

Right, but I was just curious if there would be an alternative workflow to achieve this for those that don't have an advanced license.  ... View more

I was going to suggest the Erase tool as well, but looks like that also requires an advanced license. I'm not sure if that's a restriction for the OP, but just out of curiosity, any suggestions that wouldn't require that?   ... View more

Hi Christian, Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, it is not possible to send messages through the ArcGIS Online platform to other members. There is a notification system (i.e. you're notified when you have been added to a group), but not a messaging system.  You can use the ArcGIS API for Python to member information for people in your organization (see this blog post by Egge-Jan Pollé‌). However, I don't think this will work for people outside of your organization.  There was a similar question asked by Peter Timmers‌ which looks like it never got answered    I found this idea about adding a messaging capability to ArcGIS Online. It's a pretty old post, but maybe it can be revitalized with some comments and up-votes. Or if this doesn't cover exactly what you want, I recommend making a new one! If you do, share it here so we can spread the word   Cheers, Katherine ... View more
