Hi Esri,  There are many use cases where users need to add audio to their story map or web application but are limited in their on premise server hosting capabilities.  After much research, there are no great alternatives for cloud hosting audio.  It would be great if you expanded your list of supported content to include audio files (.mp3, .mp4, etc).  This could be  a feature included in a subscription account or even branded as an extension to a AGOL subscription.  ...

Hi Esri,  I doesn't appear that this idea is out there yet. We would love for URL parameters to be implemented into the Story Map Cascade template.  The would be great for when a story map has an informational purpose and  authors could link users directly to a section of the story map.  ...

Hi Esri,  I've looked through pages and pages of articles and Geonet forums but I haven't been able to find a solution for this. It's 2018 is this functionality there? And can you publish a custom print service from ArcGIS Pro? We're looking to create a custom print Service that has:  An Overview Map (with a fixed scale) Dynamic Attributes (ideally pulled from the popup info) Dynamic Title (if possible) Any answer would be much appreciated! Thanks ... View more

Hi Esri,  Recently our team found an issue when using audio in Story Map Tour. When saving we received the error message " Save failed due to an invalid html tag in a name or description."  We opened an Esri support case (Case 02221486) thinking that this was a bug, and discovered that the issue presented itself as a limitation in the back end, and depended on how you initially decide to build your Map tour. Turns out that if you decide to take the route "I need to upload my images", the map tour creates a feature service which restricts the types of HTML supported in the map tour ( :warning: this is not evident when starting your map tour ) and will error out when trying to save tags like video, audio, p, https, http, tel, and mailto, etc.  I have broken down some of the issues regarding this below:  1st Issue:  When we followed the documentation for using audio in our map tour using this article, it does not state that you have to use a certain technique when starting the story map in the builder mode. 2nd Issue:  I understand the limitation with a feature service and feature layer, but this poses a very large issue to users who want to further customize their application using HTML and have already transitioned past the “choice screen” (image below) and cannot change their choice if they choose to use other "unsupported" HTML. Nowhere in the builder does it say that certain HTML is unsupported in the “I need to upload my images” method.    Overall Issue:   Ultimately if our users want to build a map tour using AGOL stored images they need to 1) Either select “I need to upload my images” which does store images in AGOL but has restricted HTML.  2) Alternatively if they want all of the AGOL supported HTML they need to upload images to AGOL in their content (which clutters their content), share images publicly, copy the share urls and paste them back into this map tour using the Gears :gear: option in the builder.  As you can see, this is a very cumbersome workflow just for users to have the opportunity to use fully supported AGOL HTML.  I would be more than happy to discuss this with anyone on your team.  Thanks so much,  Amanda  ...

Hi Esri,  We are currently in the process of publishing data for our ArcGIS Open Data Hub and we would like to have the ability to hide fields in our feature service. Many of the fields within our enterprise feature classes are strictly for internal use only and we do not want to share for other users who would access our data in the Open Data Hub. We recently contacted support to confirm this issue (Esri Case #02201567). The resulting answer was that we either needed to make a new feature class with only the fields we do want, or create a SQL view. This is a frustrating answer, as this would require us to maintain an entirely new feature class or SQL view. Currently our data is published as a referenced service from our enterprise geodatabase. That means that when users visit our Hub they will always have access to the most current data.  In efforts to promote Open Data, ArcGIS Open Data Hub needs to have an option to turn off fields or respect hidden fields.   Thank you,  Amanda ...
