I have this same general question regarding read-only public access and authorized editing access. As we are looking into a web-first paradigm for most users to edit or view data in our SDE database, it seems crazy that we'd have to set up 2 services (minimum!) for different permissions. Is it possible to (or does Esri have plans to ever) allow anonymous read-only access, while configuring editable access for the same service if logged in?

Update: As mentioned in the "share content" doc link above, the workaround for adding a Dashboard (or other unsupported collaboration apps) is by adding it to AGOL as a URL: Add an app from a URL. However, that still does not explain why Dashboards aren't supported by collaboration or whether they ever will be. Adding an app from a URL is inferior to properly sharing it as a collaborative item because it doesn't show up as a Dashboard in AGOL. You can't search for it by app type; it's just a generic app.

I have the exact same situation. I see here: Share content with collaboration groups—ArcGIS Online Help | Documentation that Dashboards are not listed under supported item types. However, there's no explanation why not, or any insight whether there may be more support in the future.

I haven't seen any info about upgrading from Monitor 10.8.1 to 2023. Do you have to uninstall 10.8.1 first? Does installing 2023 automatically uninstall 10.8.1? Or can they run side-by-side on the same server? That would allow us some transition time. Thanks!

Standardizing the intro panel across all apps sounds great; do you have a timeline on this? Thanks!

I'm also having the same problem - the intro panel will not work with the interactive legend template. (It does work with other templates, though.) The intro panel will not pop up at start or when clicking the button in the upper-right corner. Doesn't matter what browser, what platform, incognito or normal. Has a bug been filed on this yet?

Good to know that it actually works!

Ah, that might be the problem - you can't query raster data, only vector data. TIF is raster, just like JPG, PNG, GIF, etc. It looks like that page offers a few different options; make sure you use "Wildfires_1878_2019_Polygon_Data.zip". Polygon means vector. Vector means discrete features that can be queried. You're welcome for the quick response! Welcome to the community.

This sounds like a job for definition queries! I haven't seen your data (you provided a project file, but that doesn't include the data. You might try saving it as a map package, which does include data), but I assume it's all in one layer / feature class. If there are attribute(s) allowing you to separate based on years, you can use the same source for more than one layer, each with a definition query to show the particular years of interest.

One of the most interesting things about instant apps is that you can switch templates simply by changing the URL. E.g., "arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=xxxxx" and "arcgis.com/apps/instant/interactivelegend/index.html?appid=xxxxx". This is particularly useful because some templates have been deprecated and should be switched to another template. However, even if you can view another template by changing the URL, you can't configure that template. Even if you change the data source URL on the instant app's item page settings, it still doesn't change the underlying template associated with that AppID. I'm wondering if I'm missing something or if you just can't truly switch templates without starting from scratch with a new AppID.

When you delete a user with Esri Access disabled, is the username available for anyone to claim? If someone happened to claim it after you let it go, you wouldn't be able to recreate the username. Alternate scenario: if you delete a user with Esri Access enabled and they later come back to your organization, couldn't you invite them to use that same account they still control? (The "invite members to join using an account of their choice" method.)

If a service is stopped using the ArcGIS Server Manager, the service's Portal item page still exists but gives no indication that the service has been stopped. If you attempt to open the service in the map viewer, it returns a generic error ("unable to add layer"). It would be very helpful if the Portal item page and map could indicate the service is stopped and allow the admin to provide a short explanation and/or contact info. Alternative/additional option: The admin should have the option to hide the portal item when stopping the service. I'm surely not the only one who stops services indefinitely before deleting them. Like putting a file in the Recycle Bin before emptying or restoring it.

Thanks for your reply. What they're seeing is, in fact, bumpiness caused by actual detail of the lines. It does generalize a tiny bit as you zoom out, but not enough to make it satisfactory. Interestingly, I noticed that hosted data seems to generalize a little more smoothly than referenced data. I don't know if this is known/intended behavior or if I'm just seeing things.

You won't see "Storage" at all on file GDBs or other non-enterprise GDB sources.

Is there anywhere we can find a list of supported fonts for content created/edited within ArcGIS Online and Pro-authored content that is published to AGOL? One that is updated regularly and includes some kind of matrix where these fonts can be used? E.g., pop-ups, labels, vector tiles, AGOL vs Enterprise/Portal, etc. Thanks!
