Ah. I'd never used the Overlay option, but here it sounds like it was behaving as expected. Good to know. Glad yours is working now too.

In the past, there was an option within Survey123 Connect to create a new survey based on other existing published surveys within your organization. It was different from the option to create from a Feature Service, in that it pulled the exact XLS form and configuration from that survey, instead of just creating a generic template of questions based on the data field types. This was incredibly helpful for IT/admins for troubleshooting purposes, because it allowed you to create a copy of other users' surveys and test solutions or workarounds without editing the originals. I recently upgraded Survey123 Connect to v3.17.55 and see that this option is no longer there (can't remember what version I was on before, now). Under Organization, it now only has the 'Feature services' option. Is this intentional? Are there any plans to bring this option back? Perhaps user error? I see the workaround could be to use the 'File' option and upload a copy of their xlsx, but the extra steps of guiding the user to locate and send over that file is a pretty inconvenient back step in functionality when the option was there in the past. Below is an image of the current options in 3.17.55.

Hm, looking at my settings, I also have the map set on the first 'Large and medium size' layout option. I also have the width set to 'Stretch' under the Style settings for the map. (My map widget is also contained within a Section widget, which has 'Stretch' set for its width, too, but that won't apply for everyone.) Maybe check the width settings on your map? If you have a defined width in pixels or a percentage buffer for the position, I could see that messing it up, maybe. Here is a link to one of our apps where you should be able to see the Home and Zoom buttons moving left and right when you open/close the sidebar. I did also notice that if the app is open on a narrow(ish) screen like a vertical tablet, the Home/Zoom buttons will stop dynamically moving with the sidebar and will let it cover them. But in your screenshot doesn't look like that would be the problem.

Are you sure the map is nested underneath the 'Second' group within the Side Bar widget? I had trouble getting it under there initially and it looked like it was but then when you collapsed the 'Second' group it turned out the map was actually still outside it. I tested in on of my apps and confirmed that the Home and Zoom buttons will dynamically rearrange to the opposite side of the map when the side bar is extended. So it is possible.

@OwenGeo Great news! Thanks for the update.

Hi Beth Ann, Do you happen to have the BUG # for that? I am running into the same issue and would like to know once it is resolved.

‎04-24-2023

Hi @AaronHocz I know this is late but I just came across this issue and solution as well. What Kaycee is talking about is that the Sidebar widget has two built-in sections that you can see in the Page's contents panel once it is added to the app. See this image below. You need to click the "Second" section and then add your map (or whatever you want to show when the Sidebar is minimized) to that. Then, the Sidebar will expand and collapse correctly over your content.

I know this post is ancient, but are there limitations to what kinds of fields will show up in the Configure Allow List? I have two date fields related to image acquisition and I can't get them to even show up as checkbox options in the Configure Allow List. They are in the mosaic Footprint attribute table, and I have another field I added there (Text) that shows up fine. I see other services have date fields in their imagery service, so I'm stumped. EDIT: Moments after posting, I figured it out. Before publishing, you need to first go in through Catalog in ArcGIS Pro and right click the mosaic, then go to Properties. Choose the Defaults menu from the left side of the window, and then set the Allowed Fields option to include your new field(s). Then, do the same thing when publishing (or overwriting) the service as described in the accepted solution above (Configuration -> Imagery -> Allowed Fields in the panel when publishing/overwriting). EDIT EDIT: Oh lord, plot twist—I posted too soon! The fields were available in the Configure Allowed Fields for the MD properties in Pro, but when I went to publish, they were not available as options in the Allowed Fields section, there. I have no idea what the issue is.

@JimW You can do this currently using the ArcGIS API for Python. That allows you to target a specific layer within a hosted feature layer collection when working with data updates, using things like truncate and edit_features to do an 'overwrite'. But it would be nice to have it available via the website UI, too, if it's feasible.

Thanks @JakeMatthys . That's going to be my next direction, though I've never tried to make edits via a replica from a script before. If I manage to get it to work, I'll try and share what I did.

‎01-30-2023

Well, I went ahead and tested it using a dummy project and data. The answer is it does prevent Field Maps from syncing ALL of the layers, if one or more of the replicas is missing for any layer, even it the layer has no edits to push up. I was hoping it would sync the editable layers just fine and then just skip or ignore any missing replicas for the reference data, since there were no edits for them to be pushed. Back to the drawing board, I guess. EDIT: For reference, the error you get in Field Maps is "Error while handling start sync geodatabase on the server."

Hello, I have a use-case where staff need to be able to take non-editable reference data offline in their Field Maps projects—which is straightforward. The twist, however, is that these reference datasets are part of our Open Data catalog and have regular refreshes using various sources/methods, and we are not able to have enable the sync capability of a Feature Service on them directly. So very long story short, I wrote a Notebook to essentially create and maintain some 'Offline' versions of these reference layers, that would refresh from the source layers on a schedule, making sure our users always had an offline-ready version of these basic organizational datasets for their offline various projects. This has worked mostly well so far, with the exception of one major issue—the script can't complete its updates if there are any outstanding replicas on those offline copies. Since these reference datasets are not editable, I thought it might be okay to just add a step that clears out the outstanding replicas each time before attempting to update — however I'm uncertain how this might affect other editable layers within the project web map. The notebook doesn't directly interact with those at all, but I'm worried that when they go to sync those field edits from the layers that are actually editable, the missing replicas for the non-editable data may prevent the app from being able to sync anything in the project at all. Does anyone know what might happen in this case? I hope my question/situation makes sense. I figured I'd reach out here first to see if anyone knew or had experience with this, and potentially save myself the effort of setting up a big test project. Thanks!

@John_Spence I haven't tried it yet, but looks like you can use assign_categories( users, categories) https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.gis.toc.html#arcgis.gis.UserManager.assign_categories

‎01-17-2023

@Egelkroutk, @mada, @r3weber , @John_Spence Looks like this info is available via the UserManager: https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.gis.toc.html#arcgis.gis.UserManager.categories Not sure how long it's been there, I kept expecting to find it under the gis.user class with those other properties. Example (Using AGO Notebooks): from arcgis.gis import GIS gis = GIS("home") users = gis.users.search(max_users=10) #just using first 10 as example for user in users: print(user.categories)

Thanks @OwenGeo . I think that covers some cases well, like the example you included. But in situations where the individual stories were not necessarily designed to be in a collection originally, it is a bit limiting. We can't alter those descriptions if the item is from another organization, either. Or in other cases, we want to make a collection of stories from different departments within our own org, but we don't want to have to 'hijack' the item description just to serve the purposes of the collection, when the individual items might also need to stand on their own, if that makes sense. If there was an option to manually edit the descriptions on the Journal layout (under the existing Custom item details settings, like the Title option there now) rather than only pulling from the item summaries, that would be really great. I think our current workaround for some of these cases would be to create a separate StoryMap that links to each story and then include a bit of commentary via the text blocks, or use some external option like a blog post the way ESRI does for their Favorites Stories of the Year. Which works fine, too—but the compactness, functionality, and structure of using the Collections would be nice, and integrates well as an item with the rest of the ArcGIS platform, such as on Hub/Open Data sites. Appreciate you all taking the time to respond and update these idea posts.
