@Anonymous Userbit of an update on this -- it seems the Executing issue can still last beyond 24 hours. Included a screenshot below though not sure how legible it will be -- but the task got stuck executing on August 31, and I paused it after noticing it was skipping on Sept 2. On September 8, I reactivated the same task and the Execution problem persisted, skipping every task after. I'll recreate the task to fix it for now -- but I think the troublesome part here is that we have no way of being notified when this issue occurs. I have notification emails setup within the script notifying me when it runs into an error, and set up some logging as Tim suggested in this thread, but unfortunately the Executing issue prevents the script from running at all once it gets stuck. Some sort of built-in notification system could be really handy, if feasible. Or a setting to cancel a Notebook if it runs longer than X amount of time. Thanks for your time. Task was paused on Sept 2 and reactivated on Sept 8

They said again at the ESRI User Conference 2021 in July that they don't currently have any plans to bring Field Maps to Windows. I can't remember if they gave a reason or not, but I would guess it has to do with the size of the user base -- most people are not taking full-blown Windows 10 out into the field, or at least, a very tiny percentage relative to the number users with devices running Android/iOS. They did mention though that with the recent announcement of Windows 11 being able able to run Android apps, it's possible that Field Maps will make its way to Windows that way. Windows 11 is coming October 5th, but I think the Android app functionality was delayed until 2022.

@PeterKnoop I think that solution would definitely be a welcome improvement. We do often have cases though where someone leaves the org and their coworkers either forget or didn't realize their AGO account held some important content until after they are gone. This solution wouldn't help in those instances, unfortunately. I also worry that some users might not understand how certain items are connected and reliant upon one another when transferring them (especially Survey123 projects), whereas our coordinators generally would be. Ideally they would work together though and that wouldn't be a problem.

As far as the email alerts go for ArcGIS Notebooks, this ESRI sample notebook is helpful (or if you go to the Notebooks tab in AGO, it's in the sample section labeled as 'Administration: Deploy automatic notifications'). I followed the example for the IFTTT solution and just swapped out Twitter for their email trigger, instead. Works great.

This could be an incredibly situational/niche need, but it's something we've run into pretty frequently over the past several years, and perhaps there are other similar organizations that could benefit from a solution. Our organization and staff are scattered across a large geographic area and grouped into several divisions/offices. Our GIS is somewhat decentralized, and so each of these divisions/offices has a 'GIS Coordinator' responsible for their program or division. These coordinators have been provided a custom user role in ArcGIS Online that falls somewhere between a default Publisher role and a default Admin role, giving them elevated privileges such as the ability to view all content, create groups with the 'Shared Update' capability, access advanced features like ArcGIS Notebooks, etc. Things needed to support their specific programs without having to constantly reach out to admins. One capability that keeps coming up for discussion is the ability to reassign ownership of content. Staff leave, positions change, and we often need to redistribute a bunch of existing content to one or more new owners. This is a task best suited for the GIS Coordinator for the program area, since they know the staff, the work, and the content best. But as it is now, this capability in ArcGIS Online is all or nothing -- any user who has it is able to reassign the ownership of anything in the organization -- and so we have concerns enabling this permission for coordinators, as they could potentially reassign important content outside of their program area. The current process is for the GIS Coordinators to reach out to an admin and hash out what content needs to go where, which "works" but isn't very efficient or ideal. We've thought about leveraging Administrative Groups for this, which seem to have been added for organizations like ours, however we don't see a way to limit the ability to reassign ownership based on these groups. I'm not sure if it is technically feasible to update the Administrative Groups to allow for this kind of functionality, since they seem mostly based on the regular Groups with the added ability to prevent people from leaving---but ideally, if possible, it would be nice to have an additional 'Reassign Ownership' privilege added to the custom role options that is limited by Administrative Groups. Or some other similar solution like sub-organizations for users, but that sounds like it would much more difficult to implement.

Hello. I'm wondering if this is possible and I'm just not seeing it, or if this is a bug/missing feature: I'm using a Text widget with a data connection to try and display values from a date field in a hosted feature table. It's a very basic hosted table with one just row and three fields/columns, containing information outputted from an ArcGIS Notebook. Two of those columns are date fields with both date and time. I can get the date value to show up in the Text widget just fine by creating an expression from the 'Dynamic content' window, however I can't seem to get the time info to show up with it. I've tried connecting directly to the hosted feature table after adding the data to the Experience Builder project on its own, and I've also tried adding the hosted table to a web map first and then using the 'Configure Fields' options there to say that I want the time information to show for that field. However, the time info still won't appear within the Text widget when doing this. Any ideas? I noticed that the screenshot from a user in this other post seems to be showing the behavior I'm looking for, so perhaps this is something to do with hosted tables specifically? As a workaround in the meantime, I'm using the table widget, but its a bit overkill for this specific case.

@Anonymous User I can only speak to my own org of course, but for us I don't think the privacy of the tracker logs would be a huge concern. During testing, we did have a couple cases where staff left Tracker running in the background after heading home for the day, so it created track logs to their homes. We met with those users and the non-Admin staff who would be managing the Tracker views and used it as a learning opportunity to discuss how that happened and make sure everyone understood exactly how the Tracker license and Field Maps work, when it is collecting data, and who would be able to see the data, etc. So stuff like that I think can mostly be taken care of with some proactive training. For the expected track logs collected during working hours, we're not too concerned if one project group or division can view where another group/division has been in the field or what they are working on, so long as they don't have the ability to accidently edit or delete that data.

Hey Josh. I haven't figured out the issue in the script quite yet, but I've implemented some logging as Tim McGinnes suggested above and am now waiting for the Executing "error" to happen again. Although it sounds like if you tweaked things to prevent it from being stuck longer than 24 hours, I may need to be more proactive in how often I check it, or have it actually archive the logs. Whenever I do figure it out, I'll be sure to provide an update here. Thanks!

I have a notebook script which runs fine manually, and runs okay on a scheduled Task most of the time. But a few times now the the Task will go off at its scheduled time and then get stuck 'Executing' perpetually. This causes each subsequent scheduled execution to get 'Skipped' (see attached screenshot). This doesn't ever seem to resolve on its own. I've let it go on for a few days to see what would happen, but it never resolves. The only way I've found of fixing it is to delete the Task from the Notebook entirely. (I also clear and restart the kernel, but I'm not sure that's necessary to fix the issue or not). I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this further. I don't get an actual error code, since it is still 'Executing', so I have no idea where or on what it's getting hung up on. Again it runs fine manually, and I've seen it run up to a few dozen times before hitting this 'Executing' snag, so the problem seems inconsistent. I've started tracking the days and times it happens, but don't see a clear pattern yet, other than it might have something to do with the weekends. Any ideas or tips on how to go about troubleshooting this, since I can't replicate the error when running it myself? It may also be a beneficial enhancement to have something that either lets the user see where the script is at while a Task is running (so you could see where it is hung up, at least) or have an option to interrupt and restart the Task without having to delete and recreate it from scratch.

Yikes. Unfortunately the service I'm referencing isn't mine, so that won't work for me, but I really appreciate the quick followup. Hopefully the service I'm referencing will become accessible again so I can remove it -- but definitely a pretty major bug/issue. EDIT: I was eventually able to get in once the service was restored. Not sure what I could've done if they had deleted the service or made it private, though. Makes me hesitant to reference any data not managed by my organization.

Hey Joseph did you ever find a fix for this issue? I'm running into the same thing. App was working fine for a while but what I suspect is one of the data sources I'm referencing is down or having timeout issues. I have a replacement feed, but I can't get the Data tab to unfreeze for me to add it.

Thanks for the response, fellow Aaron. I see where the challenge lies. I think even if the ownership of the hosted feature view remained with the Admin who originally enabled Tracker for the org, it would still benefit us to let non-admins create views on their own -- similar to how other admins can create views now which don't end up falling under their ownership. But perhaps that is only possible because of the admin role's innate privileges for being able to see/create/edit everything in the org? If a non-admin could trigger the creation of a Track View, and then have their account automatically added to the associated Track View Group which is created for it, I think that would be just as good. They don't necessarily need to own the view in their content. They just need to be able to find it easily without having to coordinate with admins. Looking forward to whatever possible solution you all think up.

Apologies if this isn't the right place to post this - the ArcGIS Tracker Ideas page suggested posting in Field Maps, but I could also see this being a general ArcGIS Online suggestion, too. Currently, it seems that only AGO Administrators are able to create new Track Views from the Track Viewer web site , and there is no custom permissions option/toggle for this privilege when creating a custom role in ArcGIS Online. It would be beneficial to us if we could have a custom role in ArcGIS Online that allows for non-admin users to create Track Views on their own, instead of requiring them to coordinate with an Administrator. This would benefit organizations whose GIS is a bit more decentralized. For example, we have 'GIS Coordinators' spread around different program areas, whose responsibilities fall somewhere in between Publisher and Administrator.

An Undo button would be nice, but as a workaround for everyone here saying they are losing work when accidently deleting stuff -- it is possible to use the 'Discard Changes' option and reload the page to go back to your last published state.
