Hello, I currently have an EB and I would like to set a filter to select a survey date from a map layer, but have all the map layers update by that same filter. This is currently possible in WAB with the group filter and in Dashboards with the category selector and then data actions, is this not possible in EB? It seems like it should be and I hope I'm just missing some widget configurations or other actions to get this functionality. Thanks in advance!, Kathy

Hi, I'm not sure if this is useful, but there is a Share widget within EB that does provide a shortened url and other options like a QR code. I didn't fully look but maybe there is an option to customize and use a favicon with this. I was similarly looking for a shortened url and came across your post and also the Share widget. I'm curious if I included the share widget and then added it to pending if the code/shortened link would still work. I don't need them to show in the EB necessarily but currently they are added in the footer. This is an option in the hosted EB which is what I needed. Thanks, Kathy

Thank-you RSalvaleon! I will send you an email shortly. Much appreciated!

Thanks RSalaleon and Bruce Harold for the replies. We do have the ability to run scheduled ETL tools on the virtual machine that I mentioned which is great. What doesn't work currently is an on demand way to run the tool by way of triggering the tool to run on the VM from another machine. The on demand way is necessary for folks to basically collect aerial survey data and be able to download that data to their local machines by specifying a few parameters. We only purchased the data interoperability extensions for desktop and do not have a server license which is why I was trying to figure out a way to make use of the the VM interoperability license. The scheduled tasks work fine and I use the ArcGIS Online Connector in a few current FME work benches. Currently we have script tools for the users to run in ArcGIS Pro which work fine with a good network connection, but sometimes the biologists are on research vessels or limited network and then the script tools get timeout errors so I was trying to figure out a way to move the scripts/work benches to run on the VM or to run as a web tool making use of the server connection to run. I explored sharing a web tool to our Portal but then because the AGOL data is only shared to a group from what I understand there may be issues there in accessing and making edits to the AGOL feature layers prior to download. Thanks, Kathy

Hi, We have purchased a few data interoperability desktop licenses with one that is dedicated to a virtual machine to run scheduled tools. This will meet some of our needs, but I would also like to trigger the .fme file or ETL Spatial Tool to run on demand from a local computer. Is this possible? My use case is we do not have enough desktop licenses for users to check out in ArcGIS Pro, but I thought maybe it would be possible for a user to enter in the parameters in a .bat file and those are passed along to the ETL tool on the VM, as an on demand way of using the tool. We did not purchase the Data Interoperability Server license to publish a web tool to our enterprise so I believe that option is out since it would be dependent on the desktop user having the license.

Hi Marc Santos, Thanks so much for the quick reply. Currently in our workflow, biologists are using Field Maps to collect data (AGOL shared to a group/not public). Post-survey we have a few script tools they run in Pro to download local copies of that day's survey. The desktop script tool uses GetParameterAsText for their agol name/password to have access to the data. The script also uses the ArcgIS API for Python to intersect their survey data with other AGOL layers and update table attributes prior to downloading. This process works pretty well in the office. The attempt at the web tool was to offer an alternative option for downloading/geoprocessing the data when internet is limited (research vessel). My thought the web tool might be a good option since the processing is using the server network and not the client. Although for downloading data they might still be limited. We also do have the Data Interoperability extension available on a VM and another alternative I was trying to figure out is for a desktop Pro user to trigger the ETL to run on demand (versus scheduled). I haven't figured how or if this is possible. The reason to trigger would be we do not have enough data interopability licenses for all biologists to use. Appreciate any thoughts for improving the workflow, but maybe a web tool is not a good alternative. Thanks, Kathy

Hi, I am trying to publish my first geoprocessing web tool to our Enterprise. In the analyze I am getting a number of 24032 errors, "Data source used by Script X: is not registered with the server and will be copied to the server. Part of these issues seem to be related to mapped/named network drives versus UNC. I'm slowly making progress on those. Question: Can AGOL feature layers referenced by urls be used in the geoprocessing tool? Can I make AGOL a data store for our Portal? Currently we do not have a collaboration set up yet between our organization AGOL and our Portal. We are just getting set up. Appreciate any info as this is new territory. Thanks in advance, Kathy

Hi @MehdiPira1 , Thank-you for the work around on the Portal URL. I've changed this in the script tool I'm trying to share as a web tool. I still have errors with the web tool analyze step in that it wants to register/copy all the AGOL feature layer urls to the server. This is the first web tool I am trying to share to our Portal and currently we do not have a collaboration set up with our organization AGOL. Can I register our AGOL as a data store for these services? Or is there an issue with AGOL feature layers (only shared to a group) being used as data sources in web tools? The GIS object I reference in the script is to our AGOL not our Portal since the data is in AGOL. I am new to the web tool and so I'm still not sure on all the settings. Thanks in advance, Kathy

Hi @Mitch_East , We are similarly using offline maps with Field Maps and surveyors have the tracker extension. Surveyors are using iPad Pros with Garmin Glo external GPS, but also do have a cellular iPad to have an internal GPS. We have had really good luck with tracks for some users and then others have had repeated sporadic issues in collecting tracks. Turning off the smart-rendering has been suggested by @Anonymous User and I believe this did help. We are gearing up for more aerial surveys using the apps so we'll see. I had a number of posts last year that might be useful, but in short you're not alone with gaps. Tracks not showing after update - Esri Community Thanks, Kathy

I haven't received a reply from @AlixPower , is there someone else on the Field Maps development team that could reply on the feasibility of adjusting the snap scale in Field Maps? @Anonymous User ? One of the biologists relayed yesterday that in Collector he was able to snap at smaller scales than now in Field Maps. If users can't current delineate freehand lines or trace please allow snapping at smaller scales. For aerial surveys the scale of 1:10000 is way to zoomed in and not useable. We are trying to make it work for our aerial surveys, but ... Hi @AlixPower , Its been a year since this post, but would Field Maps team consider allowing snapping at smaller scales than 1:10000. We use Field Maps for aerial surveys and this scale is very zoomed in on the map and so the snapping feature is not very useful with the current scale. If its hard coded couldn't this be changed? Also again is trace feature an option in the near future? The current vertex to vertex lines are so very awful and tedious for folks trying to use the app in the plane. Thanks, Kathy

Hello, I currently have a post-survey script that queries AGOL survey layers by survey date and surveyor and then uses the arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion to export the data to a local file geodatabase. The AGOL feature layers are in GCS WGS84 and I would like to project the queried data and export to a feature class stored in a feature dataset/file geodatabase. I've seen reference to the project_as or using the out_sr = 3338 in the service query statement, but I haven't had success. With the syntax below it runs with an error 'Object: Error in executing tool'. Is a featureSet input not allowed for the FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion? exp_fltr = map_fltr + " AND Creator = '" + str(s) + "'" print(str(exp_fltr)) fn = ft_dict[str(svc)] + str(obs_dict[s]) + "_" + str(sdate1) print(str(fn)) ftds = FeatureLayer(svc).query(where = exp_fltr, out_sr = 3338) print(type(ftds)) fc = arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion(ftds, outpath, str(fn)) One thing I did notice if I use the feature layer service as input as I have been doing and the output location is a Feature Dataset (with the desired projection) the following code does export the queried feature layer and saves the feature class with desired projection. Although this doesn't seem the best way or is it legit? fc = arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion(svc, outpath, str(fn) , exp_fltr) Thanks in advance as I'm floundering here on the best methods. Kathy

Thanks @Kanin ! I didn't realize recent values would show up. I'll take a look. Is there currently a way to have the value default to the last recent value offline or show it in the form populated? I will let the surveyors know of this option. Thank-you for the info, Kathy

Hello, We have a rating field in a form. The request is this value is populated for the first entry. For the next entry, is it possible to show the last rating value entered for an observer either in that field or some other way or have it populate with the last value? In an ArcPad project, the rating value was populated and then all following values defaulted to the last value until the observer changed the rating value. This would be in an offline map. Thanks in advance, Kathy

This idea is basically the same as this one "Enable freehand polygon drawing". I fully support and our department would greatly benefit from being able to add vertices for a line using a stylus. The current method in Field Maps is really tedious. As I've mentioned in other posts a number of folks I work with are transitioning from ArcPad and they are so surprised/disappointed to see the new method in Field Maps. It is the wrong direction for newer Esri apps. Please implement!!!

@Anonymous User, Can you weigh in on this idea and if its on the Field Map road map? I keep thinking Field Maps is the map app but yet it is missing some key functionality with freehand delineation of lines/polygon. Currently Survey123 with geotrace and geoshape have the freehand line/polygon capabilities, earlier versions of Collector, and ArcPad, but not Field Maps??? There is mark-up but this isn't quite the functionality for a saved feature layer. This would make such a difference in our department's use of the app for aerial surveys compared to the current functionality of Field Maps. Thank-you for the inside scoop.
