Thanks so much for the response! As for "why didn't I go to the tool reference".....it just didn't occur to me, quite frankly. Since it wasn't working, it seemed like a bug that I needed to troubleshoot rather than something that would be described in the documentation for the tool. My mistake!  In my particular scenario, I was given line features by a state organization that outlined treatment areas. I needed these to be in a polygon format to merge into a larger polygon dataset. It seemed like they probably had created the line features using Collector/Field Maps as they walked the perimeter of the treatment area.  Again, thanks for the response and explanation. 🙂  ...

Very excited to see this has been added to the product plan. ArcGIS Tasks are a really great concept for documenting repetitive workflows but they're only helpful when they can be incorporated with tools and workflows that are used frequently. Definition queries being one of them - pretty ubiquitous in almost every workflow! This will be very useful! Any update on the timeline for this functionality being added? @AmirBar-Maor  ...

Hmmm, are you able to get any useful info by examining the developer console in the browser? Another suggestion would be trying a different browser and/or clearing your browser cache. That's a classic go-to for troubleshooting strange behavior in the browser... ... View more

In Connect, there's an option to update the form and will it convert the XLS form to the latest version. You can also just add the column manually and as long as the column name is spelled correctly, the application will recognize it and honor the settings.  ... View more

You can filter records before exporting by applying a filter within the Survey123 website.  However, it sounds like you're not looking to filter out certain records, but certain attributes (fields), is that correct? If so, then I believe you'll have to export the fgdb as usual and then delete fields before you share the data.  ... View more

Are you able to share the error log from field maps to help troubleshoot? Some things off the top of my head that are good to check: the map must have at least one editable layer, the layers must have sync enabled (even if they aren't editable), and you can't have duplicate layers in the web map.  Other than that, hard to help more without the error logs... ...

Oh, interesting! @DougBrowning What was it built with before?  (and yes, definitely incorrect rumor!) ... View more

Hi @pertio , As others have stated, including the appropriate search terms in your query based on the software you're using will help find the most relevant results, since there are so many platforms that fall under "ArcGIS". However, to answer your question a little more directly - "Which is more popular?": The answer really is - "It depends". Each platform (Desktop vs. Online) is appropriate for different tasks. ArcGIS Online is used for creating web maps and applications, and sharing/organizing geospatial data within a web interface. On the other hand, Desktop (aka "ArcGIS Pro" in this case - ArcMap is still around but in mature support) is used for analysis, cartography (i.e. printable maps), etc. There is definitely overlap between the two in terms of functionality - you can do some analysis and cartography in ArcGIS Online (sometimes abbreviated as "AGO" or "AGOL"), and you can package layers and maps to share within ArcGIS Pro. But, if you're working towards using GIS in your career, you will very likely heavily depend on both platforms.  Quick note: there is also "ArcGIS Enterprise" (aka "Portal"), which is similar to ArcGIS Online except for the data is hosted on your own servers, rather than Esri servers. More work to maintain, but you have more freedom for customization and security configurations, etc. If you're just starting out, probably just focus on AGOL for now for web GIS stuff, unless you're really interested in server configuration, coding (i.e. building custom widgets), etc. 🙂 Hopefully that answers your question and gives you some guidance and further research. I remember how confused I was when I first started out, so I tried to answer with that perspective in mind!   ... View more
