Thank you. To note, nothing appears posted on ArcGIS Online Health Dashboard  to let users know. Also noticing it with embedding Compare apps as well.  Likely all embedding? ... View more

I am also unable to embed a dashboard as of today (5/15). ... View more

Not sure if this is what you’re asking. Go to livingatlas.arcgis.com/wayback Search a location.  Check the “local changes” box to only see image dates fort he area you are zoomed to. when you find an image date you want, click the cloud + button. it will add the image to your “cart”...you’ll see the number 1 on the left side of the screen. click on that small 1 and it will ask for your login, then it will create a web map for you. this blog has more: Using World Imagery Wayback  ...

Yes!  Isn't this critical for a cloud-based work environment?  Especially one that hosts crucial data for decision-making. ... View more

Story Maps are where its at 🙂 ... View more

It more or less helps to see items chronologically in my Content page.  Since they all turned to May 16, 2019, that quick glance sort is no longer an option.  Now, if AGO allowed sorting by Creation date, that would be great!  But sorting my title and modified are the only two choices. ...

Thank you. So, it seems like it may have been an issue with GeoJobe in which doing a set of permission updates at once actually changes the modified date, as opposed to changing permissions via AGO itself which does NOT change the modified dates.  Bummer! ... View more

I can use GeoJobe to copy content from one account to another within the same Org.  Can I use it to copy content (Feature Layers, Story Maps, Web Maps, etc.) to a student's new private account outside of the Org? Or is the one-at-a-time of AGO-Assistant better for this? ... View more

Geri, I began this practice last year with my Geospatial Analysis students.   Question: In AGO Assistant, is there any way to copy entire folders over to their new account?  It is difficult to impress upon them the importance of taking their work with them when it may take a couple of hours of dragging evry single item over one at a time.   Who manages AGO Assistant?  Adding a "select item(s)" functionality or the ability to drag and drop folders and/or the root folder would be a blessing. Any other ways to quickly copy an entire account's worth of content into a new account besides the "1 item at a time" approach? Thanks! ... View more

This was a big help.  Thank you! ... View more

I believe they have peaked - the leaves have come through by now.  Michelle, email me at jtsmolinski at fcps.edu if you have any questions about the JMU program.   Thanks for the welcome! ... View more

Where do you work and what is your role? Hello from Fairfax, Virginia.  My name is Jason Smolinski.  I teach GIS to about 150 students at a local high school via James Madison University's Geospatial Semester.  My previous career was as a cartographer/GIS data dummy for a government contractor. What GIS success have you had this year and what product did you use? (big or small - no win is out of bounds) We primarily use ArcGIS Online.  Seeing this many students walk away with experience in Analysis tools, Operations Dashboards, Story Maps, Survey123, CSVs, and generally-speaking good-looking maps is my big win. What is your expertise (GIS related or not), and how can that help the community? I can speak to implementing GIS at the high school level.   Bonus Round! Post the coordinates to your favorite place on earth. Tie between 28.3852° N, 81.5639° W and 44.0756° N, 10.4823° E ...
