I'm just merging 2 layers...one is just additional data that needs to be added to the original due to me forgetting it. I go into merge dialog. I select "orig" layer. I select "fix" layer.  They already have same headers. I give it some name "merge layer" and hit go. It starts to churn, but then puts up a dialog with on the word "Error".  This literally should be the easiest merge, it's just like the example. What is going on? ... View more

I have to geocode about 500k addresses (all in AZ USA). That should be around 20k credits.  Which is about $2400 worth of credits. I thought there used to be an ESRI "bulk geocoding" service that was cheaper or something? Is there a cheaper way to do this? That's a year's worth of AGOL subscription in credits alone...there must be a cheaper way? ... View more

I have a question about creating a new hosted feature layer from and old one, "cloning" it, essentially via the create item dialog. It works, it's great, but I don't get exactly why it names things and has a subsidiary item in it that is the old name? 1. I go to "new item" select "feature layer". 2. select "select an existing feature layer" 3. select "old layer" 4. go thru the options, get to the "new item" dialog where you name it and save it. 5. success! But if you open the "new layer" made from "old layer", it holds a layer item named "old layer" of type "point layer" still?  why? why is the old name kept? what is best practice at this point? I usually rename it to "new layer" to avoid later confusion. Why does this sub-item exist? Why doesn't it get named appropriately automatically? What is best practice for doing this workflow?   ...

I just was reading the announcement of the new licensing scheme. We are an all AGOL & BAO shop, so I was interested to see that ArcPro is no included for authors? E.g. that ESRI is going agnositc on web vs desktop for users? Did I understand that correctly?   ... View more

This is probably stupid, but what is the status of the USA Traffic Counts layer from ESRI? I just opened the 2023 version and it says it is deprecated.  What is the correct layer now? Is there a different workflow for traffic data? I liked the old layers fine... Thank You.     ... View more

I want to get the ESRI demographics like population, median income, etc. for a city...in this case the city of Phoenix? I want to enrich it or get a number out of AGOL or BAO somehow? ... View more
