Please enhance the "Publish Web Layer" and "Overwrite Web Layer" tools in Pro so that they check that all layers & standalone tables in the service that have Editor Tracking Enabled use the same "Time standard" option.  I have found that if one layer has "database time" and a second has UTC time, then the tool will allow the service to publish, but it will be corrupt.  According to the documentation all layers in a service with Editor Tracking must use the dame Time standard option.  I encounter this in ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5, Pro 3.5 when publishing a feature service referencing an enterprise geodatabase. In my situation the difference was an oversite when setting up editor tracking when adding some layers to a service.  It would be helpful if the tool checked for this, informed the user, and prevented publishing. ...

Please enhance the Geotab LogRecord Connector so that it pulls the Bearing attribute from Geotab.  The documentation (Link) mentions bearing as a value that is pulled, but the table further down in the documentation is missing the bearing value.  And after testing the connector, I can verify that bearing does not appear on data from the feed.  It does work on the DeviceStatusInfo feed though.  It would be great if there was parity between the two. My department staff rely on the bearing value for vehicle orientation on maps. ... View more

Is anyone having issues with the Geotab Feed for Velocity for ArcGIS Online?  We started having issues with ours on Friday & Saturday.  If I start the feed, it pulls in the initial set of data fine, but then each request for updates after that is returning the following error:  "Unable to parse DeviceStatusInfo data."   I have a ticket in with Esri, but no word back yet.  Was curious if others are running into this as well.  My Geotab admin says nothing changed with our configuration last week, so not sure what's changed. It seems like something changed in how Esri's connector is parsing the Geotab DeviceStatusInfo data.     ... View more

As of Oct 2025, ArcGIS Hub allows site admins to set choose how a layer is symbololized in Hub at the layer level. This means if an organization prefers to use their own symbology across multiple sites, potentially with hundreds of layers, they will need to visit each layer in each Hub content library and change this setting manually. Please add one of the following options at the Hub Site level to make it easier to set the original symbology as the default. Option 1) Have one setting at the site level to choose between Hub symbology (the blue) or Original symbology.  I guess in this scenario there will be confusion with the layer level setting, so maybe that should be disabled if the site admin elects to have native symbology Option 2) Add a setting at the site level that defines the default option to one of the two choices (Hub or Original).  Any layers added to the site after the setting is applied get that default option applied.  This means owners of existing sites would still have to go through all their sites and manually update their layers. Option 3) Add a button at the site level that allows the site admin to run a one-time process to set all layers in the Hub content to one of the options.   I think Option 2 and 3 are probably the easiest to implement given there is a layer level setting.  And I think both could actually be implemented together and be great compliments to each other. ...

In ArcMap, you could edit data in tables or feature classes that were not registered with an enterprise geodatabase.  Thad made it convenient to make small edits to ancillary tables in the database when needed rather than having to open up a separate tool to make the edits like SSMS, Oracle SQL Developer or PGAdmin.   This capability was never added to Pro.  Instead when you try to edit a non-registered table standard table all the editing features are greyed out and you get a warning "This enterprise database table is not registered with the geodatabase. Edits cannot be made" I would like to see this ability added to Pro so it works like it did in ArcMap.  I know this has it's limitations, like having to start an edit session to make edits, click save to commit, and lack of undo functions), but sometimes you just want to use Pro to do this kind of work instead of opening separate applications.  I'll also say that just registering these other tables everything with the database isn't always an option...for example in SQL Server you can't register a table that uses an identity column as it's primary key....which are much less of a pain then managing sequences.   I'll also clarify that I think this would apply to tables or feature classes in a relational database that has been configured as an Esri Enterprise Geodatabase, but just aren't registered for specific business needs.  Or it could also be tables of feature classes in a relational database that is not configured as an Esri Enterprise Geodatabase, such as a SQL Server or Postgres database with some tables with geometry columns. ...

I just published my first hosted image layer to ArcGIS Online.  It is a "tiled imagery layer" comprised of just one raster.  I wanted to check how much storage it is taking up in AGOL (and thus how many credits it uses for storage daily), but the size section of the item page says 0KB.  I even tried running the item report as an AGOL admin and the item's file storage and feature storage values are zero. The source raster I uploaded is a 20MB TIF with LZW compression.  So I'd imagine it's AGO counterpart would be at least that size or larger due to the tiling. Has anyone had experience finding the size information for these imagery item types? Thank you for any information you can provide, -Andrew ... View more

Please add the ability for ArcGIS Online layers to be displayed as Hub content using their default symbology.  Currently all hosted feature layers displayed in a Hub site's content is given a default blue symbology.  Many GIS staff create default symbology for ArcGIS Online layers especially when for data that relies on some categorization to make sense.  Of course someone can change that default after they add it to a map or download it, but often there is a common symbology for a layer that staff in an organization like to use as a "one size fits most" when adding data to applications.  It would be helpful to have these datasets displayed to the public in the same way, rather than the symbology going back to generic colors.  For some datasets this simple color scheme makes it hard to communicate the value of a particular dataset to the public when they first glance at the data from a Hub content explore page. ...

Please add an option in Real-time Analytics that allows an input data source from a hosted feature layer to auto-refresh on a schedule.   In my example. I have a feed of data from a data source. I then need to join on information from a hosted feature layer.  The hosted feature layer gets updated once every night from an ETL operation.  This community article (Link) confirms that the real-time analytics only uses data in the source input when the analytic is started... meaning the data could be days, weeks, or months old if the analytic is stable and never needs to be restarted.  I'd prefer not to have to log in and manually restart the analytic daily for the join table info to update It would be great if there was an extra option on the Source -> Feature Layer configuration window that would allow the user to define a refresh interval in hours or days.  Going one step further, I think some feature layers have a property that says the last timestamp when the data was refreshed, so it might be possible for the Analytics to ping that timestamp on an interval and only ingest the refreshed data when it determines the source has changed.   Thank you ...

Hello, I'm relatively new to attribute rules, and I'm currently exploring options for using batch calculation as an alternative to immediate calculation to speed up some bulk processing after large nightly data imports to my data.  I'm trying to create a batch calculation attribute rule, and I only need it to run on a subset of features in a feature class.  I'm curious if there is a way to apply the filter on the attribute rule so it only runs on features that meet the conditions in a SQL whereclause. My hope is this will speed the batch calculation run time. So, for example I'd like a batch calc attribute rule that does something like this: For Bulk Calc Attribute Rule A, only run it against rows in Feature Class B that match SQL WHERECLAUSE C.  For records that match the whereclause, update one attribute value on the row.  All other rows on the feature class are ignored.  I guess the simple way to do this is to put an IIF() statement inside the Attribute rule.  But this means the attribute rules will evaluate every row in the feature class.  I already know this one attribute rule would only apply to features with specific values, which would drop the number of rows to assess from 100k+ to only 100 or so.  I guess there is a way to use a "FILTER()" function, but I haven't seen an example of sticking that in an attribute rule. ...

Hello, I'm relatively new to attribute rules.  I'm trying to build them into a new schema I'm developing to handle primary key population with a sequence using the NextSequenceValue() function.  I've noticed that just by adding this one simple attribute rule, the time to bulk import features to the feature class slows significantly.  For my test I used a sample line dataset of 1,000 rows.  When importing data through the Append tool, with the rule disabled, the data is loaded in seconds.  When the sequence attribute rule is enabled, it takes about 1.5 minutes.  And this is being done from Pro on a machine at the same datacenter as the Oracle geodatabase I'm loading into. 1.5 minutes is okay, but that's just for 1,000 rows.  With this schema I'm building, one major workflow is loading data into the schema from a 3rd party, and some of the 1:M tables related to the line feature class could get 1,000's of rows each every day.  I'm worried the load time will be so long with this attribute rule, that I'm going to hog our ETL scripting server all night with just this one job. Same thing happens with loading the data via FME I'm wondering if I should fall back to alternative ways for generating primary keys outside of the Esri ecosystem.  For example, creating a trigger at the database level to grab sequence values on row inserts.  Or running a query in the ETL tool to grab sequence values from the database upstream from the geodatabase import.  These feature classes won't be versioned or archive enabled, so I don't think the trigger population would be an issue. Although attribute rules are great for managing some key attributes for transactional edits done by analysts throughout the day, they seem to really slow down bulk loads. I'm curious if folks out there have created some mitigation strategies for speeding up nightly bulk loads while keeping your attribute rules intact or daily edits. ... View more
