Agreed, Xander, but I think Steve still has a point in that the help documentation ought to have a warning about this somewhere. Or maybe a link to a troubleshooting guide. ... View more

Also a relevant point: our amazing consultant Todd Lighthizer‌ found a way to change the color scheme of the popup at least. I believe you still can't choose the color, but it does give a way to have a more neutral palette. Here are the themes you can choose: DojoX Charting Theme Previewer  I haven't learned how to change it yet, but once I know I'll respond back. ... View more

Hi Annina, We are creating an ops dashboard for each tab. That's what gives us the overall count (all precincts totaled) in a pie chart. That's embedded in an iframe on the side panel. So that's working well, but the issue is there's not a way to make that work for the individual precinct level. As you can see below, in the popup we really need the pie chart to show individual precinct results. If the colors were just configurable, that would meet our needs perfectly. ... View more

Katie Cullen‌ We're using story maps for election night results reporting (specifically the story map series, where we can have a tabbed layout to show the results for multiple contests in one app). Having a popup show a pie chart with results for an individual precinct was the only thing that would satisfy my elections staff (see reasons below). But as I'm sure you can imagine, colors on an election map are crucial. If we have red show up for Democratic candidates, we will get all sorts of confusion, and look unprofessional. This change, as far as I'm concerned, is the top priority for our organization. Reasons for the need for a pie chart in the popup: Bar charts don't sort the way we would want them to.  Bar charts can get too lengthy when there are 27 candidates for governor. Pie charts de-emphasize candidates with a tiny fraction of the votes. Our primary audience for election night results are elected officials who want to know why they are winning or losing a contest. For this reason, individual precinct results are crucial, and viewing the total votes for all candidates is imperative. Our experience with other arcgis online solutions: Ops dashboard doesn't provide the tabbed interface we're looking for (the tabs are small and at the bottom) Web App Builder has an elections widget, but it also doesn't have that nice tabbed interface.  The widget seems to focus too heavily on the individual precinct. Our users want to start with a general overview of the contest (or multiple contests), then click on key precincts to get the finer details. From what I've seen, the elections widget starts by having you click a precinct or type in an address, then shows you the contests relevant to that individual precinct. If you want to find information about a specific contest, you have to know which precincts cover that contest, or guess until you find one. Like I said before, this is very important to our GIS program. Elections are one of our highest visibility projects, so we need to be able to make these maps have the right information and colors. I'm happy to talk more to help you understand our need and why the other solutions aren't working for us.   ... View more

Ah, thanks Kory! Didn't realize you were focused on Desktop. That article's a good one! ... View more

Kory Kramer‌ any word on this? It looks like its been Under Consideration since 2012. ... View more

Looks like this ArcGIS idea was posted in 2012 and is still "Under Review." I think this has just not been a priority for some reason. https://community.esri.com/ideas/5989  ... View more

I think this comment should be marked as the correct answer, since the other one answers a different question. ... View more

I just deleted the last two of my questions just fine (and that didn't fix anything) but it won't let me delete my third-to-last question. I'm assuming this is the issue. I'm going to try refreshing the page and re-making the questions. ... View more

Hi James, thanks for the quick response! No, I didn't copy any questions. I'll try removing questions one by one. As a side note, thanks for the training you put on in Sacramento several months back. I'm finally getting a chance to use that knowledge.  ... View more

Thanks, I had seen that earlier, but it looks like that's done through arcGIS online. Is there a way to do it in Pro only? ... View more
