You are correct Jeff - I would disagree with the tech support analysts viewpoint and Lindsay Thomas‌ is going to follow up with support.   Steve - expect a follow up from Esri Support Services. This summer we developed a tool to help users resolve the shape.area issue that crops up when users deploy the maps and apps in different RDBMS's.  We will be shipping this tool in our Winter release, but Allison Muise‌ can provide it to you prior.  Sorry for the confusion. ...

Greg - I think you could still use Xray to set the spatial reference in this case because Excel is only needed to modify the schema.  Just follow the process in the help and you should be ok.  In addition, you could also use the Batch Project tool but it will be a bit challenging moving the entire information model to your spatial reference using that tool.  It might work best for a subset of the information model. Hope this helps. Scott ... View more

Have you tried importing the schema in to a file geodatabase and then copying the features to your SQL Server DB? ... View more

Val - Is your question focused on the Parcel Viewer web application template contained in ArcGIS Online?  Or, are you talking about the Tax Parcel Viewer for 10.2 found on the solution site?  Both have been deployed by many local governments and I'd like to understand the challenges you are having more fully.  Are you trying to get this app running on a local web server with your parcel data?  Assume you've review the help documentation and published the services required for the app. Thanks for the additional details.

Wanted to make sure you saw this blog post we authored last fall.  It has a link to several technical articles that will help you update the Election Polling Places app. If you continue to have trouble with the 10.1 version of the app, you could download the latest 10.2 version of the app and wire it up to your 10.1 services.  This may help you resolve the issues you're having.

Joe - The 10.1 Address Editing Map has the feature templates defined already.  Are you using the editing map provided in the download?  This map document includes the feature templates and will leverage the construction tools contained in the Add-ins.  We did make some changes at 10.2 to the information model but the 10.1 workflows are very similar.  Both versions rely on a MasterStreetName table, the feature templates and the underlying information model. I would also suggest you watch this video if you haven't already.  Let us know if you need further help. Scott ... View more

Tiffany - The current portfolio of ArcGIS for Local Government apps support configurable locators (your own locator) but have not been tested with a set of locally authored routing services.  Have you tested your application with the ArcGIS Online routing service that was included in the app?  If so, are routes properly calculated? It appears you are trying to configure the Park Finder app with your own routing service. If so, you may need to dig deeper in to the code base and change the code to accommodate such.    Scott ...

This is not an enhancement request.  It is a known issue (bug).   We were trying to make the popup work better on mobile devices and unfortunately lost the ability to view multiple features in the process.   We recognize this is a major problem in parcel workflows and will be pushing out an update soon to resolve it.    ...

Miguel - There are several forum posts on this topic I would recommend you review.  In particular, here's one that talks about the implementation approaches we suggest.  If you search for "Local Government Information Model" in the forums you'll find many more. In addition, we did a session at the Dev Summit a year or so ago that highlighted several ArcGIS for Local Government implementation approaches.  This video can help you organize an approach for your organization. We would also encourage you to join our ArcGIS for Local Government Meetup.  This meetup is a gathering of users who are implementing (or thinking about) the ArcGIS for Local Government solution in their organization. Bottom line, the local government information model has been developed to support the maps and apps Esri provides in the ArcGIS for Local Government solution.  The model reflects the requirements of these solution offerings and helps users deploy these fully-supported maps and apps.  Users should align their implementation of the model around the maps and apps they are going to deploy in their organization.  If you're not implementing one of the maps and apps - the information modal may not be right for your organization.  But if you are moving to Esri's solution offering and deploying the maps and apps we provide, organizing your data in this model (and extending it as needed to to meet your needs) will be the fastest way to deploy the maps and apps and ensure you can sustain them from one release of ArcGIS to another.  Hope this helps.

We have not produced a diagram for the entire model (its just too big to be useful).  We encourage users to focus on specific aspects of the model (features, tables, domains, etc.) that are used in the map and app you're going to be deploying.  Then create a poster of the features required for such.  In addition, we do provide a data dictionary with the information model that will help you navigate through the entire local government information model. ...

There are two primary ways we've seen users implement a solution to this problem.  They either use dynamic segmentation to identify the routes along your road centerlines.  Or, use a series of simple features managed in a topology on top of your primary road centerlines.   While the simple features approach may require you to duplicate the geometry, it is a pretty simple way to maintain the information by non-GIS users.  We'll begin to incorporate additional public works layers like snow routes in our solution offering in late 2013 and early 2014 and will provide some tools to make this easier going forward.  Hope this helps in the near term.

Tony - No, you will have to configure the application with your ArcGIS Online group and webmaps and configure the application to work with this content.  The try it live app is set up to work with sample data and named AGOL users Esri provides for evaluation purposes. Scott ... View more
