I have a point feature class with attachments. While I can see the attached items in the identify tool I cannot directly access the items through the related tables which does not make sense to me. Is that the desired behaviour? When I want to remove an attached item it is not very comfortable to look for the right file in the whole table. Instead I would expect to get the attached items through the related table function and then would easily be able to remove the desired file. Did I miss something? ... View more

I am using the Query Widget in a Launch pad themed web application (in AGOL web appbuilder).  Is there a way to thell the Widget to show the item name instead of the service layer name in the query window as well as for the result layer? Or the name it has in the Web map? On the upper left is the name in the map, the others all show the name of the service layer. So even if I change the layer name in the item's details it will not change the service layer name which just does not look nice to me, and it is not very helpful if the layer in the map is named differently. It would make more sense to me if the search criteria and result would use the same name as in the map to identify which layer was used.    ... View more

Hello folks,  I have to work with txt files that contain special (non-ascii) characters like in "Temperature (°C)" or "Chl_A (µg/L)".  When I read the field names directly from the table with utf-8 encoding and list them in Python I get 'Temperature (\xc2\xb0C)' and 'Chl_A (\xb5g/L)'.  I receive the names of the fields to work on from a script tool where the validation tool reads the field names (with utf-8 encoding) and gives them back as a list to chose from (where they look "properly spelled"). These chosen ones are then received from my python script with GetParameterAsText and then split up. fieldnames=arcpy.GetParameterAsText(3) fieldnameslist=fieldnames.split(";")‍‍ When I read and write those I get  [u"'Chl_A (\xb5g/L)'", u"'Temperature (\xb0C)'"] Note also the difference between the first and the second output: (\xc2\xb0C) and  (\xb0C)  which seem to be two different unicode encodings. When I read them again in a new list with utf-8 encoding I get ["'Chl_A (\xc2\xb5g/L)'", "'Temperature (\xc2\xb0C)'"] Now when I try to use the field name again to read from the table the values I need for further calculations the field name is not recognised and I guess that is because of the encoding. Interestingly (at least for me), when I read from the utf-8 list or from the other the field name I get again "Temperature (°C)" or "Chl_A (µg/L)" as an output. So I assume I have to "translate" the symbols back into hexa spelling to be able to communicate with the txt file.  When I hardcode the field name to be 'Chl_A (\xb5g/L)' in the arcpy.message I still get Chl_A (µg/L) but then the search cursor complains that "'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xb5 in position 7: invalid start byte". When I use u'Chl_A (\xb5g/L)' the field name is recognized.  How can I give the field names from my list so that the script can read them and they are recognized in the table again for the search cursor? I'm using Python 2.7.14 with ArcMap 10.6.1 PS: Looking for further information I tumbled over this read, which might give you something to laugh for today: The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excu… (plus some well explained information I think, but it didn't help solve my problem...).  ...

I am using the time slider widget within a Launchpad themed AGOL web application.  I am wondering if nobody else is annoyed about the fact that the style of the text does not match at all the other text within the application.  This looks so stupid! Is there a way to fix this somewhere in the json maybe or do I need to submit a case for this? ... View more
