*Actually the more I've thought about this besides my need to write things down is I believe I typically do use the output as image setting so the rendering is better preserved on the GIS side than relying on the printer to do that. Although I do remember the plotter still spooling for a long time so maybe that part happens regardless? Thanks Hi, I'm trying to make sense of a few settings when also exporting a poster as a .pdf to print on a Canon plotter. I haven't paid full attention to the settings I've selected but after some printer glitches now trying to figure out what is the difference from printing posters earlier this year and now. For instance, as Dan suggested is it best to use the 'output as image' setting or how does that differ from the printer setting as 'Print As Image'? I believe the last exported maps I had I did not use that setting because I had the 'embed fonts' selected and then a large .pdf file size. However when I went to print the poster I noticed the printer was flattening the .pdf and never went thru the usual spooling. After so many tries I finally selected in the printer options to 'Print as Image' and then the printer went thru the spooling and did print. Is there a recommended workflow for exporting .pdfs to be printed or alternatively do people select the option on the printer side? Thanks in advance!, Kathy

Hello, We have a server with data interop and ArcGIS Pro installed and I have a work bench that I can successfully run as a scheduled task. However, it has been suggested to have the GIS coordinator run these tasks for a number of the GIS Analysts. Currently the work bench fails to run when I change the owner of the task in the Windows Task Scheduler. I understand that likely this failure is due to saved credentials to ArcGIS Online and databases within the work bench and these are saved to my profile and not available when the task is run by another user? If so is there a way to embed these credentials so others can run work benches that have been authored/scheduled by other users. Thanks in advance for the help, Kathy

Hello @makitahideki , The conclusion of the tech support case was the following Bug Number: BUG-000173986 Synopsis: Unable to customize or change the layer configuration for the edit widget within views of ArcGIS Online Experience Builder once the application is published. Status: In Review Tech support was able to replicate on their side. What I did learn for the one of the web maps is I did not have the form in the source web map completely configured for the related records as far as adding a related record. In this case the edit widget was honoring the web map form settings even though in EB it wouldn't allow us to view the layers to configure edit settings in the second web map with an edit widget. As far as the geometry allowing edits despite being disabled as I understand it is a user permissions/level feature so if you are an admin or own the data by default you can change geometry. However a creator/member of a group should in theory not be able to edit geometry. I'm not sure that answers your question or helps but that is the latest info I had. Thanks, Kathy

Hello @IlanaSchnaufer , I wish on a fix but according to Esri this is 'expected' but still awful behavior IMO. Here is a reply from @TonghuiMing in 2023 who was kind enough to look at the issue closer TonghuiMing ‎10-31-2023 Yes, it should be the expected behavior. First of all, the behavior is from the embedded Dashboards app, so it has nothing to do with Experience Builder - Second, inside the MV, zoom-to generates the same behavior This should be the expected behavior of API since the geometry across the international date line might not be valid. If you have any other questions, I suggest posting that to their repo for a follow-up. Thanks, Tonghui ------------------------------------------------------------- I had replied to that response asking why it is expected behavior assuming bad geometry? Basically in our case I had to disable zoom to selected or leave it as is with people then contacting me and asking why it zooms to Europe. I wish I had better news. Thanks, Kathy

Hi @ShoNuff , I am having the same issue except its in the AGOL Field Maps designer for the gnss metadata fields like esrignss_latitude, esrignss_longiutde....etc. This is true in a number of layers that have the GNSS metadata added. I wanted to add arcade expressions if the values were null but looks like I can't even add them to the form. Interesting Thanks, Kathy

Update December 2024. The fix worked and text formatted date is now working :)!!

Hi Ke_Xu, It was AGOL for myself. I no longer have the EB and switched to an embedded dashboard. I had logged a tech support case in Sept. 2022 with my experience. Esri Case #03130254. At that time the case concluded with this info, new BUG-000152790 Inconsistent filter results or 'No Data' message received in Experience Builder when using multiple filter variables Thanks, Kathy

Hi!, Just following up on something I learned regarding the Group Filter and Zoom after submitting a tech support case for a number of issues. In the EB we have the Group Filter does not zoom on the map to the filtered data despite the configured actions WHEN there the group data layers includes a table??? Yup when we removed the table from the Group Filter data layers, the zoom and pan worked. It was a great observation from the tech support because there is another Group Filter included in the EB but there wasn't a table data source included in those layers. I'm not sure if a table could be causing your issue or not, but wanted to add our 'experience'. Thanks, Kathy

Hi, I'm not sure of the issue but just wanted to write that I have a point layer and had initially set up an EB with filters similar to what you describe. The point layer had 36,000 records which is a lot but again they are just points. I remember seeing exactly what you see and actually still see the 'No Data' text in the filters even in a much smaller dataset in another EB now. There's like a lag, if you wait values will show at least that's what I experienced. But from a user standpoint it was a confusing experience of knowing there is data to filter by and then having to see No data, click again values appear. I eventually had to switch it to use an embedded dashboard in the EB. The category selectors were consistent, responsive and a much better user experience. The way you can have values sorted in the dashboard selectors and other options in my opinion is still so much better than EB. If you wait after seeing the NoData do values eventually appear in the filter? Good Luck!, Kathy

Hi @Ke_Xu , Thanks for testing! I'm not able to view the link you shared. Would it matter at all if the sections are within a sidebar within the EB. Also for your testing does the editing involve the same hosted feature layer service? In the screenshots below the first one shows the edit widget and interaction with the first map. The second edit widget despite selecting to interact with the map it doesn't provide an option to select map layers. I have been able to switch to the other map, layers immediately show and then switch back to the second map and layers to edit will be an option. I have saved settings and then go back to view the edit widget configuration and it looks like the second screenshot below in the layers have disappeared. Group Filter, works for one SQL statement, but does not honor the 'AND' when multiple statements are added within the Group Filter. Also it will not zoom to filtered when multiple statements added. Here is the other post. The EB we have isn't publicly shared but I could add you to the organization group where it is shared. Thanks, Kathy

Thanks AustinAverill, I can try this out. In reality we have 2 related forms to have surveyors add new records two based on two hosted AGOL polygon layers (1 to many relationship). In addition another point layer is edited. I have added arcade statements to the web map form for fields to autopopulate based on the polygon relationship. I will look into the survey form though option because at this point, the geometry of the polygon being edited by mistake isn't a great option. I really appreciate the info on the different layer refresh settings too.

Hello, We have an EB that is for editing data. To make it easier for folks to use we essentially have 2 duplicate AGOL web maps but saved with different names. In one of the maps, a base layer polygon is turned on and in the other web map another base layer polygon is turned on. The idea is for easier viewing in case people don't know how to go in and turn on/off map layers. I noticed today that the one edit widget looks pretty good and for mode is selected to 'Interact with a Map widget' and I have one of the maps selected and below shows the map layers within the web map to enable for editing. However when I go to the second edit widget which is another section view, this one also has the mode 'Interact with a Map widget' selected along with the second web map, but no layers show to configure. I have been able to switch to the other web map and then switch back to the second web map and then the layers in the second web map will show as options to configure editing. I save and publish and get the green light, but when I go back to the second edit widget, no layers are shown as configured for editing or even show within the web map setting. What is going on? Shouldn't this be possible to achieve with two separate web maps and two edit widgets? It is the same hosted feature layers being configured for editing so maybe that is too much for the EB? Thanks in advance. This EB is not going that well with already an existing tech support case regarding editing related records and also the group filter, both of which the tech has been able to replicate and states software limitations, enhancements....sigh.

Hi, I feel like we are trying to achieve the same goal of adding related tabular records but not updating anything on the parent feature geometry. I have a similar post and have still been struggling with the parent geometry allowing edits even though I have all the edit widget settings for the parent layer disabled besides having it as a layer for editing (but I have I add, delete and update radio buttons all turned off), yet I can still I still create, edit, and update the parent polygon? I didn't know about the layer overrides and is an interesting concept to explore and appreciate the advice to create a view with metadata noting these changes. Just thought I would commiserate, Kathy

Hi @AustinAverill, That does sound like a novel way editing. For the survey123 form, when users submit the form currently in a web app I've worked on I have it so it will update the EB, but it takes like 3 seconds and then refreshes the entire application and form. Do you users do this each time? I was just wondering if there was a smoother way to have the EB update without a complete refresh. Thanks!, Kathy

Hi, I was actually going to ask about arcade expressions like intersect and working offline. I had read this info in a Blog post. "Although you need to be online for Arcade expressions to run in QuickCapture, you can still capture your features while offline. The Arcade expressions will automatically run once the device is back online (and the map loaded) and will be uploaded to ArcGIS." If I understand this correctly I can reference an AGOL web map in the Quick Capture Designer and use the 'FeatureSetByName($map, layer) followed by the intersect. Records collected offline will record and then when WiFi the arcade statements will run prior to the records sending to AGOL? Thanks in advance, Kathy
