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!

Thanks Tim, that's a good idea. I will give it a try.

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.

With Map Viewer Classic, it's possible for users to add additional layers to a web map without signing in by clicking the 'Modify Map' option. This functionality doesn't appear to be available in the New Map Viewer and isn't mentioned in the functionality guide blog post or the New Map Viewer documentation, as it was in the Map Viewer Classic documentation (second 'Note' bubble on the page). Is there a reason for this? Are there plans to implement it later?

Not sure if this should be a different idea or not -- but additionally to this idea, I would also really like to see custom icons for the Map Tours (same functionality that was just added to express maps) as well as being able to change the color of the numbers on the points for a guided tour. I'm currently working with a dark basemap and would like to use white icons, but the numbers on the stops are white by default and so you wouldn't be able to read them. Even just a toggle for white or black numbers, depending on which contrasts best. Thanks for all the great updates you've been putting out!

‎03-25-2021

I saw that in a recent blog post as well - releasing March 30. Looking forward to that functionality!

I also think that this would be a nice option to have, for both aesthetic reasons and a better use of space on larger screens (less scrolling). Perhaps a new widget for a "Button Group"? It could have vertical stacking, horizontal placement, and maybe even a grid layout option for if there are many buttons. The vertical stacking of subsequent buttons (the way it is now) is great for mobile and should probably stay like that, but horizontal and grid layouts that only appear when screen size allows would be wonderful. Edit: I'll add that one of the most common criticisms we hear from our staff and readers for StoryMaps in general is the amount of scrolling involved. I don't always get it and people apparently have very different thresholds for what's considered too much scrolling, but we hear it a lot. The way buttons stack now isn't very space efficient on large screens, so any little thing to help reduce the amount of scrolling would be nice for those folks.

I'd also really like to see this functionality return. It's a very small nitpick, but I find myself clicking those icons over and over again - constantly forgetting that they do not link to the groups. Would be a nice quality of life enhancement.
