Hi, I'm using the Shortlist Story Map and I have the address, place, and feature finder enabled. When I type in a location the tool will find it but when I click on it instead of the map zooming in to the place I was searching for it does the opposite and zooms way out which isn't very useful. Is this a known issue? Do I have a setting not enabled correctly? As it sits right now it might be better if I disable the feature if its not working correctly. Thanks for any insight, Kathy ...

Hi, I recently upgraded to ArcGIS 10.5.1 and also had my desktop reimaged. In trying to establish a connection in ArcCatalog to an Oracle database I am now getting errors when this used to work.  I get the following error, "Failed to connect to the specified server. Do you want to continue? Underlying DBMS error[ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specifiedNo extended error.] I confirmed with our IT help that the Oracle 32 bit client is installed and the path is set in the system variable. I did find some posts relating that error to the install path of the parentheses in the ProgramFiles (x86) and so I uninstalled and tried installing to the top of the C:drive. Although I'm not 100% its installed at that location because I just see C:Desktop10.5 instead of the ArcGIS folder name but all the files look to be in that folder. I thought by installing at the C: drive location I would eliminate the parentheses issue but after I restarted I'm still getting that connection error. The connection used to work prior to installing 10.5.1, I think I had 10.3.x installed prior. Does anyone have any suggestions. IT staff is willing to help but the ESRI/Oracle compatibility isn't the most straightforward on how to diagnose. Thanks kindly, Kathy ... View more

Hi, I created a legend image and have added this with guidance to the index.html as a table after the Div 'Header' and above the div 'nav-bar'. This was then formatted with .css and everything seemed to be great until I realized that the text in the location text boxes was being truncated and you could no longer view all the text for certain locations. Prior to adding the legend I could view all the text included. I am hoping to get some advice on how I might best add that legend image into the header and still be able to view all the location text. Is there a better place to be adding the image then between the two div elements mentioned above? Or is there a way to alter the application height if it is fixed? I've attached two screenshots with one showing the legend as an image placed between the Div 'Header' and the Div 'nav-bar'. The second screenshot shows one of the location text boxes where the text is not visible. I would really appreciate the help. I would love to have a toggable legend but in not having the programming skills being able to add a legend image to the header was going to be the work around. Thanks in advance, Kathy ... View more

Hello, I am working on a shortlist beta Story Map and I've had this happen a couple of times now. Today I've updated the images at 2 locations. While the larger image loads the thumbnail is blank. The link in the URL is valid and I've even substituted in other images or even the larger image url link to see if it will even show a thumbnail and it seems hit or miss but mostly miss. I'm wondering if this is a known bug or what could be the issue if it doesn't give an error? The image names do have spaces and _ which I think should be fine and actually works for the larger image? Is there a bug with updating images/locations once they have had an image in place? Although even if I add in a new location the thumbnail will not show. Also I've read it is recommended the larger images are 1000x750 pixels and have a resolution around 80% (I've went to 72) while the thumbnails are recommended to be at 280x210. The web folks at our agency think the application is slow because of all the images and the images being unnecessarily large at a size of 1000x750 while only displaying a smaller image. What are the image recommendations? I want the application to be as fast as possible and not slowed down by the images being too large. Thanks, Kathy ... View more
