I've had similar issues with our Open Data Portal. Some of our larger datasets quite simply hang forever when users attempt to download them. I'm pretty confident that it's not an issue with the way the data is formatted or the inclusion of m and z values, because the same data will often work if we break it into smaller pieces. For example, our seven-county building footprints file wouldn't download (observed for up to an hour with no sign of an actual download beginning), so we split it out into seven separate county files, and those worked fine. I had assumed that there was some designed or de facto limit on the size of dataset that the Open Data Portal can functionally work with, but if there's a way to get large datasets to download properly, it would save us a considerable amount of data maintenance work on our end.

That is not how I'm attempting to access the metadata editor. I'm clicking the Metadata button in the Item Description page. When I talk about metadata, I'm not referring to the very basic Summary/Description/Terms of UseTags/Credits that can be viewed directly on an item's Overview page. Our standard includes contact information, attribute descriptions, and other metadata fields found in the FGDC CSGDM format. When logged into our ArcGIS Online organization, I can access an editor that lets me fill these fields out by clicking the "Metadata" button on the right-hand side of the Overview page, several buttons down from the "Open in Map Viewer" button. When logged into the Hub account as the owner of a particular dataset, clicking that button instead opens a static view of the metadata. I tried to attach screenshots to illustrate what I'm talking about, but the uploader doesn't seem to be working for me.

I'm familiar with the metadata editor in ArcGIS Online, and I use it regularly in doing other parts of my job. Is there a way to access that metadata editor for a layer stored in a Hub initiative? When I try to access it the way I would for an item in the organization's ArcGIS Online account, it instead opens a static view of the existing metadata.

My organization has fairly strict standards for metadata, particularly for any data that will be available to the public. We have some GIS layers stored in one of our initiatives (we have Hub premium, not just the open data portal) that we would like to associate with metadata that meets our organization's standards, which are based on the FGDC CSDGM. However, whenever we upload these layers to the Hub storage, the metadata is automatically converted to ISO 13139 format and drops a number of fields from the metadata. Of greatest concern to us is that attribute definitions aren't included, which we consider essential for anything that may be used by people outside our organization. As a test, I tried uploading metadata in ISO 13139 format, and I got similar results. The resulting metadata was cleaner than what had been converted from FGDC format (the converted-from-FGDC metadata had some fields, such as tags, included multiple times in the XML), but it still clipped off the attribute definitions. Whether we upload in FGDC or ISO format, the metadata cannot be edited once in the Hub storage. Clicking the Metadata button on the Item Description page opens a static page showing the metadata in a browser window instead of opening the metadata editor as expected. Is there a way to have full control over the metadata associated with items in Hub initiatives, as there is with normal AGO items? If so, how do I do it?

I'm attempting to upload a few small, pretty straightforward layers to ArcGIS Online, with the intent of creating a Feature Layer View of each one. These views will have some of their attributes hidden, then be added to my organization's Open Data Portal. The problem is, the Create View Layer process keeps failing with the extremely unhelpful message, "Error: Unable to add feature service definition", as seen in the attachment. This is a workflow I've used many times before without issue, and indeed, it's only happening for two of the three layers in the current batch. The third one worked exactly as expected, and is currently in the Open Data Portal. Further complicating things, my attempts to do an end-run around the issue are also meeting with failure. I made a copy of the data with the attributes we want to hide removed, uploaded the layers, and the copied layers just simply don't appear in the Open Data Portal regardless of sharing settings. These aren't complicated datasets - they have several hundred features at most, with 6-12 attributes, mainly short text fields. Has anyone run into problems like these before? Did you find any solutions?

For context, my organization has Hub Premium, and we also have an Open Data Portal dating back to before Premium existed. Whenever someone who is currently logged into ArcGIS Online through a public account tries to view either our Open Data Portal or our Premium initiative, they get either a 404 error or a plain white screen. The console shows errors reading "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'indexOf' of undefined". I haven't been able to test whether the same issue happens for people logged in with accounts from another organization. If they log out of ArcGIS Online, they can access our Hub sites without issue. Has anyone else experienced this kind of issue? Have you found a workaround? We're trying to promote our Open Data Portal, and it's not an insignificant problem if people who already use ArcGIS Online get blocked out of accessing the open data. For reference, here is our Open Data Portal: SEMCOG (Southeast Michigan Council of Governments) Open Data

Thank you! The code snippets you provided didn't quite work for my case, but it got me to the right places in the code to implement my own solution. It works quite well as an About Pane/Popup Pane hybrid, though as a first time widget developer, my code probably violates any number of the principles of the framework. If I have the time and drive, I might try to implement something nicer later. If you're interested, I'll post a link to the finished map once it's public.

Sorry if this has been brought up already, I didn't read all ~500 comments. Would it be possible to add some sort of default text to show when there is no currently-selected feature? One of my coworkers has seen this Esri-Leaflet map: Census 2020 Hard to Count Map and wants me to achieve similar on-click infobox functionality in a WAB map we're working on. Thankfully, he doesn't care about the mouse-hover effects. It would basically let us turn the left-hand into an About widget when nothing is selected, and a Popup Panel whenever something is selected, letting us save some screen real estate. Even if that's not possible, this widget is excellent, and thank you for developing it!

Hi Moataz, Unfortunately, we never found a workaround. We ultimately decided to drop the heatmap layer from the project. It's been nearly a year and a half, I'd hoped they would have improved the tiling algorithm to get around this by now.

I'm glad to hear that you're using our script! I talked to the guys who developed it, and it turns out our restore process for maps and apps is pretty manual. Our top priority was preserving data in the event of an editing mistake or other accident, as you can't undo or discard edits in AGO. For maps and apps, you can follow the steps my colleague wrote out below. If any of the layers or maps referenced by your map or app also needed to be restored, you may need to spend some time fixing broken itemId entries in the JSON, as well. Since I brought this to their attention, they're looking into whether a script could be written that would automate this process. Unfortunately, it's not a high priority for the organization, so I can't say when we might see results. How to restore a webmap or app: 1. Create a new webmap or app in ago 2. Copy the contents of the json file (the file with no extension) 3. On https://ago-assistant.esri.com/ choose the "I want to view an item's json" and click the new web map or app 4. Scroll down in the right-hand pane until you see the Data section, and click the pencil to edit it 5 Paste the contents of the file that is downloaded from the script and click the save button 6. View the map or app to make sure it looks as expected

Out of curiosity, have you looked into distributed collaboration? My organization doesn't have Enterprise, so I haven't tried it out myself, but from the documentation it looks like it should let you perform the kind of Enterprise-AGOL replication you're talking about.

That's the main reason behind this request for me, as well. Our lawyers really want an active acknowledgement of the license agreement to be required to download anything from our Open Data Portal, but there's no way to do it right now. For now, my organization (and several others we deal with on a regular basis) have been forced to put copies of the license agreement and/or links to it in inappropriate places, like the top of the Description field, just to ensure that some reference to the license at least appears on users' screens before they download anything. It's ugly and makes the lawyers nervous, which makes our leadership nervous.
