Aaaargggghhhh, these apps will give me some grey hair! Now I tried to download the Crowdsourcing Reporter App so see what I can do with it but when I click download app and then done (after reading the instructions of course) nothing happens! The same for the Crowdsourcing Manager App Template. Also tried from the map related templates e.g. Find, Edit, and Filter but again nothing happens when I click Done. I figured it out using Firefox instead of Chrome: In firefox I got the prompt that the website is trying to open another window -> opening the corresponding github page where I can now download the zip-file. To be honest: On the github page it's very confusing because it says To deploy this application, download the template from Portal/ArcGIS Online and unzip it. But actually you are not downloading it from the Portal/ArcGIS Online page but from the github page where I already am. Instead it would be better to put a link there to show where the "Download zip-file" button is, because I didn't see it when I went straight to github (because I thought that's where I would find it...).

Also following this tip didn't work: Crowdsource Reporter configuration I also already tried to set also the app to everyone but that didn't help neither.

Maybe to make it more clear where I am stuck: I click the Create an App button from the group's Share function and get the configuration window. While for the Crowdsourcing Polling App I find there a thumbnail of my editable layer, here it's empty (if I remember correctly, during my first attempt for this app I could also see my map): "Nicole's testing group" contains following items: So when I change for example the color scheme of the app and the attributes to show the votes and the comments and then click Save and View I get this screen: But when I login with my AGOL account I get this: The text you can't read in the middle is the one I quoted in my first posting. These are the settings for my layer: I also tried without Track Edits but that doesn't make a difference. And here are my map settings: Thanks for looking at this...

Yes. Robert, that's what I did. I created the app, can do the settings but 1) I don't get a thumbnail of my map shown and 2) when I want to view my app I get the message above. I am guessing that it has something to do with editing options for my layer. Can you give me a recommendation how the settings should be? In my group I have the layer, my map and the app shared but the app still says there is nothing to show. Thanks for looking at it, Robert!

I am stuck. I am trying to create a Crowdsourcing Reporter App based on the Crowdsourcing Reporter App Template. I created a layer with the recommended fields and published it. I created a map with this layer, configured pop-ups and editable fields, saved the map and shared the map with my reporter group. I went to the group, created a Web App through the share button, configured the basic settings but when I want to view my app it says "Configured group is invalid or no items have been shared with this group yet." But I did a map and the map is visible in my group! Before I was able to create this app but wasn't happy with the settings for editing so I went back to the map. But when I went back to the app I got the same message. So I started again with a new group but that also doesn't seem to help. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks Robert. At the moment I don't have a server available to host customized widgets but I will keep it in mind.

I am trying to find a way to narrow down a selection done by a query. I tried the Query tool with an expression set but I don't want to force my user to give a value for each of the variables. So I thought of using the operational layer from the query result somehow but I don't see a way to query this one. As an example: I have a query defined for the user to look for those plots that are bigger than 100 ha. Now he should be able to apply on this result a different query e.g. distance to next settlement or maximum elevation (both attributes of the same layer the first query was applied to). How could I do that? Thank you!

The OTB Query widget is already helpful but there are some features missing or I just don't understand well how to configure it better. I have a couple of variables the user should be able to set ranges. I used the expression set to combine those values and say "All of the following expressions in this set are true" to get in the end the parcel that meets all requirements. In general that works fine but... 1) My user doesn't know the range of the values that are available. That's why I would find something like these sliders in the business analyst online very helpful: 2) Maybe one or two of the variables don't matter to my user. But in the Query tool for all variables a value is required. Even when I put unique values and one of the values is being blank it is not accepted as a choice. Thus it would be great if the user could decide not to use this variable either by just leaving it blank or by unselecting it like it is possible in Business Analyst. Do you know of a widget that is getting closer to what I am looking for? I have to admit that I'm very new to this field of (customized) widgets for the app builder. So here are two more things I would be interested in: 3) Is something like a cascading select possible in a widget? For example if the size is the most important variable, then for the other variables only those values should be available that match the desired size. Or if someone is looking for a plot in the Eastern Province then the other attributes should adjust accordingly to show only the available values for plots in the Eastern Province. 4) Could I do "drag and drop" for variables in a query window to set priorities for variables? Technically I mean. So if for one user the size is most important he would drag and drop it to the top of the list of attributes, if for another one the region is more important he could put this attribute to the top of the list. Thanks for your ideas!

When testing Business Analyst Online I found it very comfortable to be able to select a number of attributes and select a range in these attributes by defining the lower and the upper limit as you can do for the visibility of a layer for example. Do you know what I mean? Is such a widget available for a web app?

Thank you Mark! That helped! I thought I took the same headers as in the sample csv file but obviously I didn't.

For those who want to have a look at the issue: The map where the pictures show in the popup: http://arcg.is/24v9rYv And the app where only the thumbnails show: http://esri-rw.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapTour/index.html?appid=b40b5d01e15948d5800262c2aaab8740

When putting my Story map together I had the references to the pictures and the thumbnails already correctly stored in my feature class that I uploaded to AGOL. Unfortunately for the big pictures the URLs were missing and were only saying something with "undefined?token=...." So I added the URLs manually for every single picture (which was annoying enough). All big pictures were showing after that process. After editing, saving and sharing the Story Map I opened it with the provided link and had to find my big pictures missing again. Opening it in edit mode was driving me almost mad now because I found the same link as before with "undefined?token=....." Can please someone advise what I did wrong with my picture URL? I have the pictures on my own website e.g. http://www.nicole-in-ruanda.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/20160423-120235_Dubai_Eingang_Internet_City.jpg for the big picture and http://www.nicole-in-ruanda.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/20160423-120235_Dubai_Eingang_Internet_City-150x150.jpg for the corresponding thumbnail. Both links are stored in my feature class but only the thumbnails showed up. Just found this question Paths to pictures are not being saved. Paths to pictures keep being set to undefined after saving. as very similar to my problem. Somehow unfortunately I have in contrast to this posting a field called pict_url, and in the popup I defined in my map, the pictures show. At least I'm glad that the links are still there...

Dear Marika, Thanks for your comment. The best would be that the plus button even disappears after the fourth crop was entered. You also don't have an idea where I could access this plus button, do you?

Can I write a value straight to the table instead of setting a form field to a certain value? Following scenario: I have a question that can be answered yes or no. If no is selected the next question can be skipped and N/A should be written to the table. Is that possible and if yes, how can I do that?
