ArcGIS Dashboards introduced new mobile layouts this past summer that allows authors to configure two versions of a single dashboard item, which would then dynamically swap between desktop and mobile layouts based on the screen size readers were viewing it with. I was hoping to take advantage of this within StoryMaps while using the embed block, so that if you viewed the StoryMap on desktop, you'd get the desktop version of a dashboard within an interactive embed block. If you viewed the StoryMap on mobile, then you'd expect to get the mobile StoryMaps layout along with either the mobile layout of the dashboard if in interactive mode, or the static card option that would link to a new window and show the mobile dashboard layout full screen. But this doesn't appear to work as expected, at the moment. When adding an ArcGIS Dashboard with a mobile layout to an embed block in a StoryMap, it appears to always default to the mobile view of the dashboard within the embed block, even when the StoryMap is displaying the desktop (landscape) layout. Changing the size of the block (small, medium, large) makes no difference. Not sure if this is a bug, oversight, or user error, but it would be great to have this sorted out. So many folks view StoryMaps on phones, and simple dashboards are a great option for the embed block to show a basic bar chart or line graph, etc. in a StoryMap. It would be nice to have dynamic layout switching between the two apps work together.

@OwenGeo Maybe I've misunderstood the webpage option—is that more intended for offline usage? We would just like to be able to hyperlink text for use in an online environment, and realize that they wouldn't work in the offline mode. In the past when we've done these meetings, we'd screenshare a Power Point presentation through a webinar that included some different resources and data feeds available to the community. We'd then share out the slides afterward which contained all those URL links for folks to follow up on. Links to Open Data sites, web apps, maps, AGO groups, best practice guides, etc. Some of those things like the web maps/apps will be nice to embed directly within the Briefings and save us from having to swap between a bunch of tabs while presenting, but other things really just need to be hyperlinks for folks to follow-up on later. Some examples of the different resources we share with attendees can be seen here. (This is a final accumulation of resources/notes over a couple dozen calls throughout the event—we wouldn't stuff all of these into a single Briefing) EDIT: I see now that a couple of the example Briefings have hyperlinked text, but there doesn't appear to be an actual option within the builder when highlighting text to add a hyperlink like there is in the StoryMaps builder. However, I did just realize that if you paste hyperlinked text from elsewhere into the Briefing, it will work. Sorry for the confusion. StoryMaps: Briefings:

Looks great so far! We are really excited to use these for our State Geospatial Coordination Call meetings for emergency response. I see under the 'Attachment' option for text there is currently the greyed out option for a Webpage link. We hope this is high on the to-do list, as it will be vital for what we want to do.

If would be helpful if we could include URL links within the Information Banners and Access Notices for ArcGIS Online. There are times when we want to highlight an upcoming webinar, or link out to a page that includes more information about the notice. For example, "Our services will be down for maintenance on June 1 from 1am to 6am. Click here for more information." Or "Join us June 1 at 1pm for a webinar on data governance. Click here for the Teams/Zoom link." etc etc. A full URL isn't practical with the character limit. Either being able to hyperlink text, or letting us toggle an optional button that appears in or below the banner where we can control the destination URL. Thanks

How is your data being created? Would you be able to incorporate Global IDs as an alternative unique identifier field for AGO to use? You can either use this method in Pro or this method on a hosted feature layer in AGO.

I had just logged on to submit this exact idea. This would be particularly useful for Serial Charts using the X axis for time, to highlight important events or deadlines that may provide the reader extra context for the changes they are seeing over time. They could be similar to the Guides that are already available, except have them be vertical instead of horizontal. Provided another visual example below. The ability to create these both manually and dynamically from values in the data would be great as well, with priority to the former.

I think this might have finally been fixed? I haven't noticed it since the June 2023 update.

Thanks for the update Beth Ann. I went to test though and it appears to still be an issue in my ExB app. Applying any sort of Sort to the data in the Feature Info widget prevents it from highlighting the correct record when its corresponding point is clicked on the map. It still highlights a different record.

I'd like to add, in addition to making it easier to search bugs within My ESRI, allow for users to subscribe themselves to a bug and get updated whenever the bug status changes. In the ESRI Support mobile app, this functionality seems to almost exist. You can go to a BUG article and under 'Take Action' there is a Subscribe option, but it is greyed out and doesn't seem to do anything. Perhaps it is a feature in the works, but regardless it would be really helpful for admins doing enterprise support to be able to search and track these known issues more easily, which would save time for both us and ESRI Support staff.

Still seeing this issue. I'm assuming the planned fix never made it?

Having this issue as well, along with not being able to do a Search on Integer fields. Would like to be able to Search on a Facility ID field for example. The workaround of course is also to republish with the ID field changed to a text/string field, but that's not always an option depending on the data source.

That URL download path is a great catch, thanks Josh! That will make things a bit simpler for us again, but agree it would be nice to hear from someone on the S123 team. Appreciate the help!

Hi Josh, The issue is copying surveys from another user within the organization, not one of my own forms. So the 'Save As' isn't an option in this case, as you can't see other user's survey forms within Connect.

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. Update 3/18/2025: The marked solution may no longer apply as of version 3.22.49
