@Kevin_McIntyre , Yes, we will be using tracks in addition to this needed auto orient functionality. That being said, tracks alone aren't good enough. The user/collector will revert to paper collection if the collection platform cannot have this behavior. This is necessary and needed functionality and none of the Esri/ArcGIS online tools have auto orient feature except for Field Maps.  If this is a bug, we'd like the Auto Orient tool functionality to be fixed. If this is by design, we'd like this to be a formal enhancement. I've already reached out to Esri Support for resolution, but my hopes this geonet post will catch more attention for this need.  ...

Hi @RhettZufelt,  Yes, that is exactly why we need the auto orient tool! We're currently looking into laser rangefinders as a solution for higher accuracy for "at a distance collection", but for right now this Field Maps auto orient functionality is the first issue.  ... View more

Hello,  Thank you both for your reply.  I'll address a few of your questions below as well as include a diagram for reference:  why is having the auto orientation tool important? Since the dats is being collected in a helicopter, the helicopter is continually changing direction/orientation.  The user collecting this data needs the map to auto orient to this direction to accurately plot deer sightings at a distance.   rapid data collection is a key factor in this project, have you explored Quick Capture as a more suitable app for this project?  We need this data to be collected quickly and efficiently (since helicopter time is not cheap). QuickCapture will not work due to a variety of reasons. First it does not have an option for a data collection map interface, and secondly there is no way to plot data at a distance (QuickCapture only allows device location). Either way, if your compass heading is important at the time of data collection, you can add in GPS metadata to your project to collect your heading at the time of capture. Compass heading metadata isn't the issue. We need the data collector's map to auto orient to their helicopter orientation.   You are correct that the tool disengages, however, if you hit the collect button (+) again, it will re-engage that tool and snap you to the current GPS location automagically. So, regardless of the state of that tool,  pressing the collect button always takes you back to the GPS coordinate. Thank you for confirming this issue.  ---- Diagram of the collection:   Best,  Amanda     ... View more

Hi @OwenGeo ,  Thanks so much for the reply! Here's the story may (I duplicated it for public sharing):  https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/dcc59af7fd374df7b4f934266452fc0f  Here are my steps for creating the sidecar express map:  1. Create Sidecar 2. Add Map > New Express Map 3. Select Basemap 4. Add Numbered Point and set to desired extent 5. Click Done 6. Duplicate Sidecar Slide 7. Add another numbered point (to get the next to be #2) 8. Click Done  *At this point it looks like the sidcar is keeping the correct extent* 9. Publish story > view story> all Express maps are zoomed completely out:    Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.    Thanks again, Amanda Huber   ... View more

Hello ArcGIS Pro Team,  We would like the ability to export two separate layouts (unable to use map series for this) into one PDF file for the purpose of condensed electronic pdfs and double-sided printing. We're aware of third-party software for post processing, but I believe other orgs may also find benefit in this functionality.  Please consider this enhancement.    Thank you,  Amanda Huber ...

Hi @MarianneFarretta,  Thanks for the quick response, I appreciate the update! As for the hex value I was referring to the actual "#" symbol. In the symbology settings it's provided- therefore pasted # value is not accepted until "#" is removed, whereas label settings require the "#" symbol otherwise it doesn't work.  Isn't accepted:    Isn't accepted and just defaults to black:   ...
