Well that sir is just a really big question.  My first bit of general advice is that when asking a question like that, you need to include some useful background information, such as...what GIS experience do you already have?  Are you already proficient with non-spatial programming?  Are you a student just starting out, or an experienced worker looking to switch gears?  It is typically hard to get useful responses to such a fundamental question without setting the stage a bit, so we know where you are starting from. Do you already know at least one programming language?   Learning Python or Javascript is a good start. ESRI has some appropriate training plans already developed that have a lot of free content if you are under maintenance: https://www.esri.com/training/catalog/5e14df4436e7e15d09b53cff/arcgis-api-for-python-fundamentals/  https://www.esri.com/training/catalog/5eb193be59bcad254d30a591/arcgis-api-for-javascript-fundamentals/  You couldn't go wrong taking a look at those plans and see if any of that aligns with what you want to do.  Joseph Kerski‌ Beyond that, keep an eye open for the MOOCs, these are a free way to get a pretty good exposure to the many different aspects that are the science of GIS: https://www.esri.com/training/mooc/  Another alternative is to find someone who already does this kind of work and is willing to mentor you. Good luck. Jay ... View more

Thanks for the explanation Peter.  I figured it must be related to that darned UTC. There are plenty of comments on GeoNet about how we all wish the default usage reports were a bit better.  Guess I'll go find a related Idea to vote up.  Gary Zaepfel‌  Quinn Korbulic ... View more

Sometimes this sort of problem comes down to the details: What version of Samsung hardware are you running?  (We had a problem with a Note 20 Ultra not showing the user's assignments.) ... View more

Turns out that the Mobile Worker with the problem was using a "Samsung Galaxy Note 20 ultra".  When they switched to an older Galaxy S7 it is working fine. ... View more

That is my guess as well.  Unfortunately our main staging areas for techs seems to have connectivity issues... ... View more

Thanks Aaron.  Makes sense. And yes, we are using hosted AGOL services. Jay ... View more

I've had a lot of fieldtype-related issues with data coming from Excel files.  Excel (the #devil's database) doesn't really know what type of data (Integer, String, Double, etc.) is stored in a field, so I've gotten unpredictable results when bringing Excel data into other programs.  I bet if you look at the item details, Data, Fields, you will see that the field types are different between your two methods.  It looks like in your second screen shot that the data is probably not being recognized as a number, which would explain why you can symbolize on unique values, but not Amounts and Counts?   My general advice - avoid Excel when possible.  Use a real database. Suzanne Boden‌ offers some good tips on https://community.esri.com/groups/esri-training/blog/2017/05/26/working-with-excel-data-in-arcgis-pro that might not be directly applicable here, but is still a good review of how ESRI (in general) interacts with Excel files.

You shouldn't have to, but have you tried applying a filter to that view layer within your dispatcher web map? Jay ... View more

Did you ever resolve this Nina?  In ArcMap 10.8 this works for me.  Can't say for sure why it works now and not previously. ... View more
