I have a Feature Layer I regularly update through ArcGIS Pro by replacing the contents of the Feature Layer with updated data. There are additional view layers that filter and symbolize that data for other tools. historically, this has worked great and the data comes over to the views seamlessly.  Lately (the last couple months), I have trouble. When I update the data in the parent Feature Layer, everything looks fine. in the views, however, the data tab says "Data Error" and the Web App using the view layer shows no points. The only way around this is to completely regenerate the view layer (and reset all of the references in the We App to use the new layer), which in a lot of ways defeat the purpose of having a view layer to begin with. I have not changed the schema at all on the original layer, it's just replaced the data that is there with new data. I have done some searching and can't seem to find a solution to this. Advice on troubleshooting tips or where to go for a solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in adavance. ... View more

Here's my idea: A single question that will look like an "image" question on a mobile device (have a button for a camera input) and look like a "File" question on a laptop (allow the user to upload PDF documents). This would give the user the ability to use the phone to take a photo or use the laptop to upload a pdf in the same question. Since in the Feature Service, they both look like attachments, it seems to be a User Interface challenge. My idea is that the buttons would look something like they do when you can upload a photo (with a camera button and a folder button), but each button would accept different inputs (the camera would take a picture - the folder would accept non-image files). Even better would be if there was a way to show only the camera button on the mobile device and only the file button on the laptop, but that's probably a whole different level. My specific case: I have a form I designed in Survey123 Connect to collect images of receipts for corporate credit card transactions. This form is used by non-GIS staff, so it has to have a straightforward interface. The form collects key information about the transaction and has the user take a photo of the receipt. If the transaction is audited, everything is in one place instead of the card user having to keep the receipts and produce them when audited. Most of the transactions are fuel purchases for the vehicles, so this works fine.  There are, however, situations where non-gas items are charged to the card (say, tires). With these, there is not a small, easily photographed credit card receipt, but instead a PDF invoice from the tire shop. In this case, the user would be able to log the transaction from the office and upload the PDF file to the receipt field. Thank you in advance for your consideration. ... View more

Hello! I am attempting to create a Web Map with buffers around points showing horizontal accuracy. Currently points are being collected wiht Survey123 and a field is populated with a number for horizontal accuracy (in meters, I believe). I am developing an app to help users correct the points they collect and showing the horizontal accuracy would be helpful. This is a constantly updated dataset, so running a one-time operation like a buffer isn't really practical. Also, this is a map that may be viewed at different scales depending on needs, so it would have to be something tied to actual distance, not just relative. I'm hoping for something like a circle that has a radius equal to the horizontal accuracy field or make the dot the size of horizontal accuracy or something like that. This seems like something that should be able to be done, but I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks in advance for any help. ... View more
